Hunting
Hunting in Idaho runs the spectrum from plentiful upland game to highly coveted trophy species.
Seasons in Idaho are generally structured to provide a wide variety of hunting experiences with a strong emphasis on opportunity.
To hunt in Idaho you will need:
- a hunting license
- a tag for big game species and turkey
- to take a hunter education class if born after January 1, 1975
If you’ve never purchased a hunting license in Idaho, or any other state, and you’re 8 years of age or older, you are eligible for our Hunting Passport program.
