Tag question

Does anyone know if there a cut off date for purchasing a general season spring bear tag in Idaho? or can you buy them during season at sporting goods stores like a true OTC tag? And obviously a license is needed, but is some form of hunters ed required for non resident?

The bear tags are unlimited and can be purchased from vendors once you’re in Idaho. Yes, there are Hunters Ed requirements. Read the regs. Idaho will accept Hunt Ed from other states.

thanks for the info, yes what I meant to ask was if they require you to do an Idaho hunters ed.

No, HE from another state is fine.

Last year i stopped in montana and grabbed a bunch of tags before i hit idaho border, warning i think some bear hunts are "controlled hunts" fancy way of saying draw tag just make sure otc for your spot (most areas are otc), good luck.
