Title: Idaho Archery Elk
Post by: GrampasGuns on June 12, 2018, 10:12:31 AM: Hi guys,

I am hunting Idaho for the first time this fall, and just learning the ropes of their online system. A friend who I am going with mentioned a " Bowhunting affidavit"

They were not sure its still required, and I see nothing about it on the website.

Any insight to share?

Does a multiseason tag count?

I think it will work fine since it's also for an archery season. You could ask IDFG to be sure.

Did you buy an archery permit?

Post by: Mudman on June 12, 2018, 05:31:57 PM: I think so? Website is set up so it requires all these precondition hoops to jump before allowing purchase of lic n then tag.? I found it very irritating. Online purchase obviously. :dunno:
