Deadline to Buy Controlled Hunt Permits

Big game hunters who were successful in controlled hunt drawings must buy their permits and tags by August 1. Any permits and tags not purchased by that date will be forfeit. After a second drawing, any left over permits and tags are sold over the counter. In addition, the application period for the second drawing for left-over tags runs from August 5 - 15 for deer, elk, antelope and fall black bear. Results of deer, elk, antelope and fall black bear controlled hunt drawings are available on the Fish and Game Website at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov. Hunters can buy those permits and tags at any Department office, license vendor, by telephone at 800-554-8685 or 800-824-3729, or online at https://65.67.43.193/internet/. For information on rules and dates for specific hunts consult the regulations brochure or the Fish and Game Website.
