Ask Fish & Game: Hunting on private land

October 2, 2014

from Idaho Fish and Game Q: Do I need a hunting license and tag to hunt on a friend’s private land? A: Yes. You must have an Idaho hunting license and tag for the species you want to hunt, and you must stay within the season rules that Fish and Game has set up for the unit. All wildlife belongs to the residents of Idaho, even when it is found on private property.
