It's that special time of year:
Deer hunt opening soon |
|
October 2, 2014 |
from Idaho Fish and Game
The regular deer season opens October 10 in most
regions of Idaho.
In some areas, a regular deer tag allows hunters
to take either mule deer or white-tailed deer. A
white-tailed deer tag allows a hunter to take
only a white-tail.
Many areas across the state also offer
antlerless youth hunt opportunities, but check
the 2014 big game rules brochure carefully for
the areas where youth hunts are open.
To hunt deer in Idaho during the regular season,
you must have a valid 2014 Idaho hunting license
and a deer tag. There is still a good number of
second deer tags available at a discounted price
for 2014. For more information click:

Fish and Game Conservation Officers ask that
hunters report any poaching or suspicious
activities they encounter or hear about while
hunting. Most serious poaching cases are solved
only with the help of Idaho residents, hunters
or others who report crimes. If you have
information about a wildlife crime, call the
Citizens Against Poaching hot-line at
1-800-632-5999, 24 hours a day. Callers may
remain anonymous.
Hunters also are encouraged to check out Idaho
Fish and Game’s backcountry game meat care
guide. The guide has helpful tips to ensure
proper handling of game to avoid wasting the
meat. A link to the guide can be found on the
Fish and Game website at:
