Having never hunted in Idaho it would appear to hunt deer or elk one has to get the big game hunting license and then also get the appropriate deer or elk tag on top of that.
Just checking.
Answer:
Yes. Depending on your method of hunting, an appropriate hunting license, tags with appropriate validations (archery or muzzleloader) are required to hunt deer and elk. For more information, review the "Licenses, Tags and Permits" section of any of our Seasons and Rules booklets. A quick call to one of our 9 offices would also help answer your questions.
Some of the advantages of hunting in Idaho include: Over-the counter tags for world class big game are available. Even if you don’t draw a controlled hunt in Idaho or another state – you can purchase general season tags until the quota is reached; Extra deer and elk tag are also available if quotas haven’t been reached by August 1; Great access - 70 percent public land and access to hundreds of thousands of acres of private lands; Discounted license and tag for youth hunters to name a few.
