Do I need to have bowhunter education? [I have archery experience in my home state]

To hunt during an archery-only season or archery-only controlled hunt, you will need an archery permit.  To purchase an archery permit, you must possess a valid Idaho hunting license and show proof you have completed an approved bowhunter education course or show evidence of having been licensed for an archery-only hunt in Idaho or another state, or complete an affidavit to that effect.  A copy of the bowhunter/archery affidavit form is on our website at https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/huntBowAffidavit.pdf
