Frequently Asked Questions

Does Unit 66 overlap Wyoming?
Unit 66 borders Wyoming but your Idaho tag is valid only on the Idaho side of the state line.
Is Idaho moose once-in-a-lifetime?
Yes. A successful applicant who receives a moose tag is permanently removed from the Idaho moose applicant pool.
Can I apply for moose, sheep, and goat in the same year?
Yes. IDFG treats moose, sheep, and goat as separate OIAL species — drawing one does not remove you from the others' pools.
