Deadline to Buy Controlled Hunt Tags

Big game hunters must buy controlled hunt tags by August 1. Any tags not purchased by that date will be forfeit. After a second drawing, any leftover tags are sold over the counter. The rules have changed for controlled hunt permits this year. Hunters who were successful in a controlled hunt drawing no longer have to buy a separate permit. All permit information is included on the tag. Results of deer, elk, antelope and fall black bear controlled hunt drawings are available on the Fish and Game Website http://fishandgame.idaho.gov. Hunters can buy those tags at any Fish and Game office, license vendor, by telephone at 800-554-8685 or 800-824-3729, or online at https://id.outdoorcentral.us/. For information on rules and dates for specific hunts consult the regulations brochure or the Fish and Game Website. And those lucky enough to draw can use Fish and Game's Hunt Planner at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/huntplanner to plan those fall hunts.
