IDFG Panhandle office is open

The Panhandle Idaho Fish and Game office reopened to the public May 18 for license services after being closed for more than a month because of the state’s COVID-19 rules.

Although the office is open, Fish and Game encourages using online purchasing mechanisms (idfg.idaho.gov/buy-online) and telephone sales (1-800-554-8685) for licenses, tags and permits.

Some services including the sale of outfitter tags and checking of harvested black bears, mountain lions, and wolves will be available in person by appointment.

For more information, contact Fish and Game at 208-769-1414.
