IOGA Directory | 43 join the hunt! Idaho is famous for hunting. It has the widest variety of game in the U.S. including trophy elk, mule deer, two species of bighorn sheep, antelope, bear, moose, cougar, wolves, mountain goat, white-tailed deer, waterfowl and upland game birds. The seasons are as long as 65 days in the backcountry and overall success rates are high. Many deer and elk permits are easily available because of Idaho’s unique system for clients of outfitters. There is little hunter congestion and effective management policies promote healthy species growth and control. If you are a non-resident, you must buy a non-resident license, which are available at most sport shops around the state. get tags through your outfitter. One major advantage to booking your hunting trip through an Idaho outfitter is that deer and elk tags are easy to obtain. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission sets aside and/or allocates elk and deer tags specifically for nonresident hunters who book with licensed outfitters. Idaho outfitters have access to tags long after neighboring states sell out. big game Idaho is known for some of the best elk hunting in the world. Deer are found throughout the state, with whitetails found primarily north of the Salmon River. Mule deer are more numerous and found mostly in southern Idaho. Antelope roam in southern Idaho, while black bears prefer forested areas. Mountain lions are seen statewide. Wolf hunting is an option. Idaho provides many opportunities for combination hunts, either with two big game species or with big game and upland game or waterfowl. Moose, mountain goats and big-horn sheep are Idaho’s trophy species. There are two subspecies of bighorns, Rocky Mountain and California. Hunters are allowed to harvest one of each in a lifetime, if they are lucky enough to draw the permits. Moose and goat are also once in a lifetime, but there are exceptions for moose permits left over from a drawing or won in the lottery drawing that supports the hunting and fishing access program. Most years you can add fall steelhead fishing to the mix. select a hunting outfitter. Idaho was one of the first states in the West to license outfitters and guides. Outfitters are the owners/employers and must be bonded. Outfitters employ licensed guides. 2013 elk management zones Beaverhead 30, 30A, 58, 59, 59A Brownlee ...................................... 31 Sawtooth ......................... 33, 34, 35, 36 Pioneer ............................... 36A, 49, 50 Owyhee - South Hills .......... 38, 40, 41, 42, 46, 47, 54, 55, 57 Boise River ................................. 39 Smoky Mtns ........................ 43, 44, 48 Bennett Hills ........................... 45, 52 Big Desert ................................ 52A, 68 Island Park .................. 60, 60A, 61, 62A Teton ..................................... 62, 65 Palisades ................................ 64, 67 Tex Creek ........................... 66, 69 Bannock.......56, 70, 71, 72, 73, 73A, 74 Bear River ...................... 75, 77, 78 Diamond Creek ..................... 66A, 76 Snake River............. 53 63, 63A, 68A Zone Names Units Zone Names Units Panhandle .........1, 2, 3, 4, 4A, 5, 6, 7, 9 Palouse ............................ 8, 8A, 11A Dworshak ......................................10A Hells Canyon .......................... .11, 13, 18 Lolo ........................................10, 12 ElkCity.....................14,15,16 Selway .............16A, 17, 19, 20 MiddleFork .......... 20A, 26, 27 Salmon.........21, 21, 28, 36B WeiserRiver..22,32,32A McCall..........19A,23,24,25 Lemhi...........29,37,37A,51 For more information contact: Idaho Department of Fish and Game P.O.

With their experience and intimate knowledge of the area, they can point out highlights that you might otherwise miss. This is especially true if you’re planning a big game hunt in Idaho. When selecting a hunting outfitter, consider seeking the answers to the following questions: 1. In what type of terrain is the hunt, including altitude? 2. Is the hunt a pack-in using stock and tent camping, a lodge setting or some other combination of access and lodging? 3. What is the success rate of hunters using your services? Ask for references of both successful and non-successful hunters. upland game. Many species are found in the state, including wild turkey, three species of forest grouse, chukar and Hungarian partridge. Ask an outfitter about “cast and blast” trips that combine steelhead fishing and chukar hunting. Upland game seasons begin early and some last into the fall. fishing, a way of life in idaho. Fish abound in the giant lakes of Northern Idaho, the intimate high mountain alpine lakes of Central Idaho, the smooth valley reservoirs, and the 3,000 miles of winding rivers. Idaho-born steelhead trout and salmon make one of the longest spawning runs of any anadromous fish in the world. Fish for steelhead in the swift waters of the Snake, Salmon or Clearwater Rivers. If lake fishing is your passion, go to the big lakes in Northern Idaho for giant Kamloops, Mackinaw and monster Chinook. Native cutthroat trout have lived in Idaho waters for centuries and several species of trout are found across the state. Sturgeon, the largest fresh water fish in North America, can be found in the Snake River, the Kootenai and the Salmon River. Warm water species like large and small mouth bass, catfish, crappie and perch, are becoming popular. Guides knowledge can make a difference in the success of your trip. fly fishing. Experts call the Henrys Fork in Eastern Idaho the “world’s premiere dry-fly fishing stream.” Ernest Hemingway loved Silver Creek near Sun Valley. There’s great fly fishing in most waters throughout Idaho, including Kelly Creek, the Teton River and the South Forks of the Snake River.
