Licenses, Tags And Permits

Find the cost of a license, tag or permit. Fees are separated into resident and nonresident categories.

A hunting license is required to hunt. Some species do not require a tag or special permit. But a tag is required for all big game species. Tags are issued by specific species. A permit is required, in addition to a hunting license and tag, to participate in controlled hunts. Controlled hunt permits are issued by random drawing.

A resident fishing license is required for all resident anglers 14 and older, and for all nonresident anglers. Special permits are required for some fisheries for both residents and nonresidents, such as salmon and steelhead and fishing with two poles.

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates for hunting and fishing licenses and tags are available at any Idaho Fish and Game office around the state.

Adult residents age 18 and over have to purchase their own license because they need to show proof of residency. An adult may buy a license or tag for their minor child.

Idaho Fish and Game gift certificates can be redeemed only at Fish and Game regional offices.

Several options and price ranges are available.

Lifetime licenses cost from $276.75 to $1,113.00, depending on the age of the recipient. See the Lifetime Licenses section.
