Idaho F&G Accepting Applications for
Controlled Hunt
|
|
May 6, 2014 |
Hunters hoping to draw tags for big game
controlled hunts this fall should submit their
applications in the next few weeks, according to
the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Through
June 5, applications are being taken for
controlled hunts for deer, elk, pronghorn, fall
bear and fall turkey tags.
Controlled hunts are hunts with a limited number
of tags in a specific area for a specific
species. They are like general season hunts, but
the number of hunters is limited. Controlled
hunts are often desirable because of location
and timing; and success rates are usually higher
than general season hunts.
To apply for a controlled hunt, residents and
nonresidents must have a valid Idaho hunting
license and complete the application/worksheet
available at:
http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/controlledHunts/?getPage=86 .
Application forms can be found on page 109 of
the current big game hunting regulations. The
applications can be mailed, with the proper
fees, to any Fish and Game office. Hunters can
also apply for controlled hunts in person at any
hunting and fishing license vendor or any Fish
and Game office.
The 2013 harvest drawing odds for controlled
hunts are posted on the Idaho Fish and Game
Website at
http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/controlledHunts/lookupOdds.cfm ,
and in the Idaho Hunt Planner
http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/huntPlanner/ .
Information from last year’s mandatory hunt
reports are also available online at
