Super Hunt Fees Simplified

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has changed the price of Super Hunt and Super Hunt Combo tickets. The change will do away with packages of tickets and simplify sales for the fundraising drawings. Instead, the first ticket will cost $4.25 plus $1.75 vendor fee for a total of $6. Each additional ticket purchased at the same time will cost $4 each. The Super Hunt Combo tickets will work the same way. The first ticket will cost $18.25 plus the $1.75 vendor fee for a total of $20. Each additional ticket purchased at the same time will cost $16. The change will allow electronic ticket sales, which will eliminate the need for filling in tickets by hand, and will allow the purchase of any number and combination of Super Hunt and Super Hunt Combo tickets. The new prices will take effect as soon as license software is updated and testing is complete in the next few weeks. Fish and Game will continue to accept ticket orders under the existing system until the transition to the new price structure is complete. So what's a Super Hunt? It is a fund-raising drawing for 40 big game tags. Tags for elk, deer, pronghorn and moose hunts are handed out in two drawings. The first drawing is in June when tickets will be drawn for eight elk, eight deer and eight antelope hunts as well as one moose hunt. One Super Hunt Combo ticket also will be drawn that will entitle the winner to hunts for one each elk, deer, antelope and moose. The second drawing is in August with tickets for two elk, two deer, two antelope and one moose along with another Super Hunt Combo. Winners can participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn or moose, including general and controlled hunts. Tickets are available online at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/superhunt/, at license vendors and Fish and Game offices, by phone at 800-554-8685 or 800-824-3729, or by mail at: IDFG License Section, P.O. Box 25, Boise, ID 83707. Money from the sale of tickets supports the Access Yes! program, which compensates landowners to provide hunter and angler access to or across private land.
