Applications for Nonresident Hound Hunter permits are now being accepted. Applications must be received at the Idaho Fish and Game Headquarters office no later than December 1, 2012. Please mail your application and payment to:

Applications received after December 1, 2012 will not be included in the drawing.

If you are successful in drawing a permit, the items requested will be issued and mailed to you. If you are unsuccessful in drawing a permit, your money will be returned to you unless requested otherwise on your application.

Please check the box above your name, on the application, if you would still like to have a nonresident hunting license issued to you even if you do not draw a Hound Hunter permit.

Hound hunters may apply with a partner, but they may submit only one application per group. A second choice is optional. For example, a hunter may select a Lolo Zone hunt area 10-1 as a first choice, and statewide as a second choice. After the drawing is complete, a second drawing is conducted using the applicant’s second choices to fill any permits that may not have been filled in the first drawing.
