Putting in for special permits in Idaho
« on: September 14, 2024, 09:55:11 PM »
Quick question, as a resident of Idaho if I want to put in for a special permit elk hunt do I need to choose that region first to put in a special permit there? I’ve never really played the special permit game in other regions. Reason I ask is I’d like to try an area in southern Idaho but really don’t want to get stuck with a general elk tag for down there when I live in a pretty decent area already up north.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

No you don’t. Apply, get drawn, then you have to purchase the tag before august 1. No general tag required to apply. There is a 5 day waiting period on general capped tags after they go on sale for residents if they applied for a controlled hunt tag.
You gonna draw those pistols or whistle Dixie?

With that 5 day cap would there still be a high probability of being able to purchase a panhandle tag? Appreciate the info 🤙🏼

I don’t believe the panhandle is a capped tag but i could be wrong.

You wouldn’t have an issue buying a panhandle tag.

As a resident, you are only allowed to buy an elk tag receipt until after July 10. They don’t want everyone buying their zone tags then having to trade in for controlled hunts
