Idaho Department of Fish and Game Cal Groen, Director
Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Idaho have entered into a “Wildlife Violator Compact.” This means if your hunting, fishing or trapping license is revoked by any of the member states, all the remaining states will revoke the same license or privilege for the same time period. In addition, any nonresident who does not satisfy the requirements of an Idaho citation will have his/her hunting and fishing license revoked in their home state until those requirements are satisfied. For more information on the WVC and a complete list of member states, go to http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/about/enforcement/violator.cfm.
Idaho Department of Fish and Game offices are open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday except state holidays. Offices in the Panhandle and Clearwater regions are in the Pacific Time zone; all others are in the Mountain Time zone.
To report wildlife crimes, call 1-800-632-5999. Emergency information can be relayed to Fish and Game personnel through any Idaho law enforcement agency.

Bighorn Sheep:Sheep hunt areas 20-1 and 20-2 were combined to create a single hunt.PermitlevelsintheUnit11,19,and20sheephuntswerereduced in response to poor lamb recruitment and declines in bighorn sheep numbers.The one-day overlap between the end of regular seasons for bighorn sheep hunts and the start of late hunts 17, 26 and 27 was eliminated.AnewhuntwasdesignatedinUnit28(HuntArea28-3).Unit40wasseparatedfromHunt41-1and41-2asastand-alonehunt, to focus hunting effort on the many small herds found in northernOwyheeCountywestofPoisonCreekRoad.

TOPOGRAPHIC MAP, The $8.35 price for each 1:100,000 sheet includes Idaho sales tax. All sheet maps will be folded and mailed flat unless you indicate otherwise. To have full coverage of most hunt units, more than one map may be required.The IDAHO ATLAS AND GAZETTEER, a copyright product of DeLorme Maps, has 1:250,000 topographical maps of the state, lists of campground, access areas, boat docks, parks and other facilities. It is sold at the manufacturer’s suggested price plus Idaho sales tax, for a total of $19.95.

Roads, Trails, Motor Vehicles and WildlifeWhat You Need to KnowMotorvehicles,frompickupsandSUVstomotorcyclesandATVs,have changed hunting and some of those changes have created challenges for hunters, land managers and wildlife. Consider the following:
Roads that are open to motor vehicles increase access into big •game habitat, and, as a result, the number of hunters increases. Generally, the number of hunters in an area is directly related to the number of roads.The combination of more hunters and their increased mobility •inroadedareasincreasesthevulnerabilityofdeerandelktoharvest.Deerandelkinaheavilyroadedareaaremorelikelytobekilledduringthehuntingseason,andforthatreasontheseareashavefeweroldbullsorbucks.Italsomeansthathuntingseasons have to be shorter to prevent over harvest.Research shows that slow moving vehicles on primitive roads •andtrailsaremoredisturbingtoelkthanfastmovingvehiclesonhighways.
