Title: How do the Idaho land owner tags work?
Post by: ajax25 on September 30, 2022, 11:04:28 PM: Can land owner tags in Idaho be given to anyone the land owner chooses? How does it work? Im assuming as a non resident I would have to buy an ID hunting license in order to use the landowner tag? I can’t seem to find any answers online

LAP tags are good unit wide, and I believe they can only go to the landowner, family and maybe employees but I tell you IDFG doesn’t make it easy to find information on the LAP draw/regulations
