Idaho Reg?
« on: December 28, 2012, 03:21:39 PM »
I have been reading over the Idaho regulations and am hoping to get some confirmation in regards to general season archery elk.  So, when applying I need to select an "A" tag or "B" tag depending on the time frame I want to hunt, is that correct?   Second, I need to select a zone and once I have selected that zone I can only hunt that area unless I change it before the season starts, is that correct?  I think that does it for now, I will probably have more once I try figuring out the draws  :chuckle: Thanks!

For a general tag their is no draw. Just paying out of state license and tag; dont remember the price off the top of my head?
 Pick a zone which will tell you what units you are allowed to hunt in with that tag. A tag is the early archery only tag, B tag is the any weapon tag a couple of weeks later.  Hope this helps...

That does help.  Just to clarify, once the season starts I am committed to that one zone?

Yeah that is how ive always known it. Different zones and AorB tags may have different seasons/units/rules so you are commited to that zone. Depending on what zone you choose, make sure to double check your A vs B tags. Some zones will have an early archery "B" tag that is an option, ...but its to confusing to explain unless your lookin at the regs.

My advice without making it confusing is to apply for a LE tag that you would be interested in. Most LE units are wayyy better elk hunting whether your lookin for horns or meat..cost $14.75 for non residents to put in. If you do not draw research which zone you are most interested in hunting and go from there.

This may have already been answered but I this is my thoughts.  And "A" tag is for generally the Archery Hunters hunting during the Archery season.  They are so well organized and lobby so well they pretty much have the 'Rut' wrapped up as their season.  Inside that "A" tag there are some special early rifle seasons and a late ML season.  "B" tag is generally considered a rifle season tag but it actually is a 'any approved weapon' season.

The zone you select locks you in the management units in that zone for that animal.

Call the Idaho Game Dept and ask them instead of asking on here.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

It's fine to ask here. That's what this forum is for.

If I had questions about Idaho hunting, this is the first place I would go. Well, after checking the IDFG website first, of course.

Blackhorn, did you have any more questions?

Because, we don't live in Idaho and people give you their take on the rules/laws. I never take anybody's word for anything.

The "A" and "B" tags overlap to an extent. Example: in the Panhandle Zone an A elk tag is valid for archery from September 6-30, and for "Any Weapon" October 25-29. The B tag is valid for archery from September 6-12 and "Any Weapon" October 10-24.

The A tags favor archery and muzzleloader hunters, while the B tags favor modern firearm hunters. However, your specific hunt dates may cause you to choose one over the other.

You cannot change once you have made your purchase.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it!  You all answered my questions nicely!  Campmeat, I understand not taking anyones word for anything, but it is nice to be able to chat with guys that have been there and done that.  Now, when I do call fish and game I can spend less time on talking over all the regulations and more time on getting down to stuff that I really want to know like the GPS location of a 350 bull.  ;)

Don't worry, asking questions is ok and helpful on here. I even ask one sometimes.
