Nonresidents need hunting license to gather antlers in Idaho
Those who are not legal Idaho residents are now required to purchase a nonresident Idaho license for hunting big game in order to legally pick-up antlers in Idaho.
This time of year, shed hunters get excited about hitting the hills looking for antlers dropped by Idaho’s big game animals. However, it is important to remember that those who are not legal Idaho residents are now required to purchase a nonresident Idaho license for hunting big game in order to legally pick-up antlers in Idaho. This new rule went into effect July 1, 2024.
According to Idaho code 36-508, “A nonresident collecting, possessing, or transporting antlers or horns shed from deer, elk, moose, or pronghorn in this state shall be required to first procure a license entitling the nonresident to hunt big game.”
