I only wish to purchase a non-resident non-game license to be legal in Idaho to call coyotes,but my non-resident hunting partner wants to be legal with the regular non-resident hunting license and wolf tag in case we would happen to call in a wolf so he could shoot it.Is this a legally allowable arrangement according to the Idaho hunting regulations for us in case we would get lucky enough that we called in a wolf and he shot it while coyote calling?With just the non-game license I don't want to run into any legal trouble for me if he would shoot a wolf while out coyote calling with him!
Answer:
The nonresident nongame license is valid for hunting unprotected birds and animals and predatory wildlife of this state. This license is a good option if you are only interested in hunting coyotes, which are classified as a predator. You may hunt with another person even if they have a different type of license such as suggested in your question.
If you called in a wolf while coyote hunting it would be legal for your hunting partner to shoot the wolf provided all of the conditions of a legal harvest are met. However, the wolf is classified as a big game animal.
