Ask Fish and Game: Hunting Private Land

Q. A friend invited me to hunt deer and elk on his property. Do I need a hunting license and tag to hunt on private property? A. Yes. You must have a valid Idaho hunting license and tag for the species you want to hunt, and you must stay within the season rules that Fish and Game has set up for the unit. Hunting any wildlife, even on private property, must adhere to state fish and game laws
