Hunters who applied for controlled hunt tags for deer, elk, pronghorn, fall black bear and fall turkey can check their draw status through Fish and Game's licensing system — GoOutdoorsIdaho.com — if they already have an account.
All controlled hunt tags that are not purchased by the Aug. 1 deadline will be forfeited and offered in the second drawing.
The deadline to purchase controlled hunt tags is by 10:59 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, Aug. 1.
It is the applicant's responsibility to see if they drew a controlled hunt tag and to buy it by this deadline. All controlled hunt tags (except unlimited and January hunts) that are not purchased by the Aug. 1 deadline will be forfeited and offered in the second drawing. There are no exceptions.
Those without an online license system account can get step-by-step instructions on the Controlled Hunt Results webpage at https://idfg.idaho.gov/tag/hunt/controlled/results.
Hunters can also check their results and buy tags at Fish and Game offices, on the Idaho Fish and Game app, at any license vendors or by calling 800-554-8685.
