Purchase options
Capped resident zones
Tags are available at Idaho Fish and Game offices, license vendors, with a credit card by going online to https://idfg.idaho.gov/buy-online, or by calling (800) 554-8685.
Important note: Please read these “best practices” carefully in order to purchase a capped tag online:
- Fish and Game’s online security measures require buyers to establish a unique account with a user name and password. Before tags go on sale, hunters are encouraged to set up their online account well in advance and remember their user name and password.
- Purchase your hunting license before tags go on sale. Tags will not be available to purchase until a hunting license has been purchased. By doing this before tags go on sale, the hunter is able to go straight to the list of tags to purchase when the sale starts.
- Know when the tag is successfully purchased. Putting a tag in the online shopping cart does not reserve, award, or secure that tag. Tags are only awarded after successfully completing the payment transaction.
