Ask Fish and Game: Proxy Statements

Q. If I transport an elk for a friend, do I need a proxy statement? A. Yes. Any person who transports any wildlife or fish for another person or receives any wildlife or fish for cleaning, processing, as a gift, or for storage must have a written proxy statement signed by the person who killed the animal specifying the numbers and species of wildlife, date taken, hunter's name and address, license, tag and permit numbers. The tag should remain attached to the carcass. A proxy form is available on Page 102 of the 2014 Big Game Seasons and Rules, all other seasons and rules brochures, or on the Fish and Game website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov.
