Ask Fish and Game

Q: Since the Legislature passed a law saying 10- and 11-year-olds can hunt big game in Idaho, can they apply for a controlled hunt tag in the upcoming draw for goats, sheep and moose?

A: Not yet. The new law lowering the legal age for hunting big game in Idaho does not take effect until July 1. Ten- and 11-year-olds will be eligible to purchase big game tags available only after that date.
