New Year requires 2017 Idaho hunting and fishing license
Published at | Updated at
DRIGGS — Before heading out in the New Year, Idaho hunters and anglers are reminded to pick up a 2017 license.
Nearly all of Idaho’s hunting and fishing licenses, tags, and permits are sold on a calendar year basis, and they expire Dec. 31.
The only licenses or permit not sold on a calendar year basis are Idaho’s trapping license and Federal duck stamp. Both are valid from July 1 through the following June 30. This is because the seasons generally begin in the fall and end in the late winter.
An annual Idaho resident adult hunting license costs $12.75 and fishing licenses cost $25.75. Junior and senior licenses cost even less. Another option is a three-year license available for junior, adults and seniors, which saves a little money and time standing in line.
Licenses are available at Fish and Game offices, license vendors, by phone at 1-800-554-8685, or online at https://idfg.idaho.gov/. There is an additional service fee for licenses purchased online. Licenses for disabled hunters and anglers are only available at Fish and Game offices.
