Default RE: Idaho bound

I guess I didn't see any name calling. Fieldmouse you are right, for this year anyway. If have a current out of state bow only hunting liceence then yes you can hunt Idaho. But that is going to change. The IDF&G are talking about making everyone in state and out of state alike that has never taken a arhery education cource take one. No matter how old or how long they have hunted with a bow. Not sure when or if they will inpose this rule. But it is on the planning board. With that said Idaho is a very restrictive state. In Idaho it is unlawful to hunt with a expanding broadhead, unlawful to hunt with a bow set at more than 65% let-off. Unlawful to hunt with a arrow less than 400 grains, and unlawful to hunt with any electronic or tritium-powered device attached to an arrow or bow. There are more rules but these are the big ones that get people into trouble every year! I know my wife (hikchick) might not know the rules by heart, but I assure you that she teaches archery education with me. If you don't believe me go ahead look at our proflle for our names and call the IDF&G at 208-525-7290 (Idaho Falls office) and ask them yourself. She was not trying to start a war but she like me worries about your hunting ethics or lack thereof.
