idfg-mcoleman
Super Hunt applications with new prices for 2009 are now on Idaho Fish and Game's electronic licensing system.
Super Hunt drawings will continue with paper tickets before a live crowd at headquarters in Boise, as they have been since the program was established in 2004.
Entries in the Super Hunt and Super Hunt Combo drawing must be received at the Fish and Game headquarters by May 31 with the drawing set for June 15.
So what's a Super Hunt?
It is a fund-raising drawing for 40 big game tags. The tags are handed out to winners in two drawings. Tickets are drawn for elk, deer, pronghorn and moose tags. Winners can participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn or moose.
That includes general hunts and controlled hunts.
The first drawing on June 15 will be for eight elk, eight deer, and eight pronghorn hunts as well as one moose hunt; one "Super Hunt Combo" ticket also will be drawn that will entitle the winner to hunt for one each elk, deer, pronghorn , and moose.
A second drawing will be held in mid-August when another "Super Hunt Combo" and tickets for two elk, two deer, and two pronghorn hunts along with one moose hunt will be drawn. The entry period for the second drawing is June 2 through August 11.
Hunters can take an animal or animals on their Super Hunt or Super Hunt Combo tags in addition to any general season or controlled hunt tags they also hold. All other rules of individual hunts apply.
The special drawings raise money for the Access Yes! program, which helps assure hunter and angler access to and across private lands by compensating willing landowners.
The first Super Hunt ticket costs $6. Each additional ticket for the same species purchased at the same time costs $4. The first Super Hunt Combo ticket costs $20. Each additional ticket purchased at the same time costs $16.
Tickets are available at license vendors, all Fish and Game offices, or they can be ordered on the Internet at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/hunt/superhunt/, and on the phone at 800-824-3729 or 800-554-8685.
