Ask Fish and Game - Ten, Eleven Year Olds Hunting

Q: Since the legislature passed a law saying ten and eleven year olds can hunt big game in Idaho, can they apply for a controlled hunt tag in the upcoming draw for goats, sheep and moose? A: Not yet. The new law lowering the legal age for hunting big game in Idaho does not take effect until July 1, 2014. Ten and eleven year olds will be eligible to purchase big game tags available only after that date.
