Idaho bound
 
I just got an invite to hunt Idaho. I was afraid I was going to have to do a paid guided hunt. The bad news is that I'll have to wait until next season. I'm way too busy to fit in a week of hunting out west this fall. What is needed to get a bow liscense there? Is it only big bucks? Do I need to proove I can kill a chipmunk at 25 yards?

No, You need to demonstrate you can successfully field dress a chipmonk without wasting any of the meat.:eek:

Sorry couldn't resist:)

No, but you do have to have had hunter's safety. What will you be hunting? I will be going to Idaho this year for elk.

It will be for elk. The minor problem is that the person who invited me doesn't bow hunt. Oh well. I guess I have a year to convert him or just hunt bow anyway.

In Idaho you have to have an archery permit. Depending on how old you are you will have to take a class. Lucky for you I'm an instructor with the IDFG. Unlucky for you, I would never pass someone that doesn't have any ethics. Good luck finding someone who will.

Right now I will be flyuing into Boise and from there I don't know. I just know that I will be taken care of. It won't be for another year though. I can't possibly fit another trip into my schedule.

I hate it when finacial responsibility gets in the way of having fun!
