Non-residents are also limited to no more than 10% of the total number of controlled hunt permits issued statewide for each species. In the controlled hunts with more than 10 permits, no more than 10% of the permits may be issued to non-residents. In the controlled hunts with 10 or fewer permits, no more than 1 nonresident permit may be issued for that particular unit. Simply put, your first choice is the only one that counts in regard to bighorn sheep, trophy bull moose, and mountain goat permits. In Idaho, you have two hunt choices listed on the application however, everyone’s first choice is awarded before anyone’s second choice is considered. If you apply for bighorn sheep, mountain goat, or moose, you may not apply for limited-entry deer, elk, or antelope unless the unit you apply for has unlimited permits for deer, elk, or antelope.

You can only apply for one species between bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and moose. They will withdraw or amend your application on a case-by-case basis. To withdraw or amend your submitted application, call Idaho Fish and Game at 20. If a group application exceeds the number of permits available for a hunt, the group application will be rejected. Up to four hunters may apply as a group for elk, deer, and antelope. The deadline to apply for elk, deer, and antelope is June 5th. Mail-in applications are not accepted for controlled hunt drawings.
