has anyone on hear got there archery permit by showing proff that you hunted archery in our state to the Idaho fish and game. You can do this to avoid taking the couse, you need the archery permit to apply for controlled archery hunts.
You should only have to buy the archery permit if you are drawn for an archery tag. Same with the muzzy permit.

If you know where to go in Unit 11 it can be a pretty damned good unit and closer to most of you than a lot of the other units. I've spent a fair amount of time in that unit and have seen some great bulls. You better be up on your long shots and ready to hike though.

Idaho requires you to take a course if you cant prove that you've had an archery tag in another state, the course allows you to buy the permit. I have drawn for the multi permits here in wa before, I was just wondering if that was proff enough that I've had a archery tag before?

I see what your saying now. All you have to do is sign an affidavit that says that you have held an archery tag in another state. I believe you can find the affidavit you need to sign on there website. I would think that the multi season tag would be considered an archery tag.

Notice the dates. Look up square miles of public land and access.
It's a pretty small unit with lots of hunters compressed into it. I didnt even add the link for the mule deer hunts that are conducted at the same time as elk. It's true, a few years back it was a quality hunt with very few tags, but now antlered and anlerless tags have exploded and too many bulls are getting shot before prime age............There are a few good bulls, just remember they call it "Hells Canyon for a reason"! :)
