Idaho Reg?

[Bonedar208]

Bob did a much better job at explaining it than me. My repy didnt explain it the way I had intended.

I live on the Idaho/Washington state line and have hunted Idaho every year since I was old enough. I spend alot of time laying boot track in Washington and Oregon which is why I enjoy this site.  But I will help guys with Idaho hunting as much as I can.

My  is still to put in for a LE tag and go from there. Do you know if you are wanting to hunt in the North or South end of the state yet?

Bone, I am leaning towards the west side more or less in the middle .   Maybe McCall area.  I will probably buy a tag for that unit and when I get a chance to scout I will be able to determine if that is the area I want to commit too or not.

To put in for the Limited Entry Draw, I need to buy my Idaho license and pay the $14 LE fee.  If I don't draw the LE Tag...can I get my License money refunded back?

Last year I planned on hunting Idaho no matter what.  I drew a good LE elk tag in the Southeast, and had a great hunt.  However, this year if I don't draw a LE tag in Idaho, I will hunt in Montana.   Can I get my money refunded?

[bobcat]

No, they do not refund the hunting license fee.

That's one of the reasons it's relatively easy to draw hunts in Idaho.

Why would it be easier to draw a tag in idaho becuase they dont refund license fee?

[JLS]

It cuts down on the number of people applying because they don't get a point for their license fee, and the license is nonrefundable. 

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but in ID you can only select one special permit drawing for moose, sheep, goat, elk and deer.  That also changes odd substantially.

Yes you can only select on of the three trophy species or deer and elk.

So you can apply deer and elk OR one of the big three, or just ONE of the whole bunch?

You can do deer AND elk at the same time when you apply for LE tags; but if you choose to put in for Sheep, Moose, or Goat (considered once in a lifetime tags) you can only put in for one species and not allowed to put in for others for that year.

 For a born whitetail and elk fanatic, I must say Goats have so far been the most awesome hunting expeirence I have ever had in Idaho though. Somthing to think about.
