Ask Fish and Game: Depredation Hunts
idfg-mcoleman
Q. Is it too late to apply for depredation hunts this year?
A. Not at all. The sign-up period to participate in depredation hunts this year runs from May 1 through June 30. Applications that come in after June 30 are added to the list but have little chance of being selected. Applicants must have a valid Idaho hunting or combination license. Depredation hunts, if needed, are usually held on short notice, in small areas and involve only a few hunters. Hunters may apply in different regions, but only once each year for deer, once for elk and once for pronghorn. For more information and an application form check page 9 in the big game rule book.
