ask fish and game: depredation hunts

Comments Off on ask fish and game: depredation hunts

Q. When can I sign up to participate in depredation hunts this year?
A. The application deadline is June 30. Applications that come in after June 30 are added to the list but have little chance of being selected. Applicants must have a valid Idaho hunting or combination license. Depredation hunts, if needed, are usually held on short notice, in small areas and involve only a few hunters. Hunters may apply in different regions, but only once each year for deer, once for elk and once for pronghorn. To sign up or to get an application, contact your local Fish and Game office.
