Regulating the outfitting and
guiding industry in Idaho
Our goal is to properly regulate the outfitting and guiding industry in Idaho for the purpose of safeguarding the health, safety, and welfare of the public. By doing so, we contribute to the conservation of Idaho's fish, wildlife, and natural resources.

***Non-Allocated tags must be reported to the Idaho Fish & Game Department by December 20, 2022***

2023 Nonresident general season deer and elk tags go on sale Dec. 1. Allocated outfitter tags will not be available during this sale. See the website link for important information regarding the sale. ________________________________________________________________________
Next round of use report verifications will be coming late January, early February ahead of the IDFG Allocation of capped zones and controlled hunts. Interlocutory Order Letters determine outfitters use history based on what is submitted by the outfitter to IDFG. It is important to review these letters and if any discrepancies are found please notify the Board by emailing OGLB-Allocation@dopl.idaho.gov There is only a 14-day window for reconsideration, after the 14 days if no objections are made to your use history, they become final.
January will also be the time period for Hardship requests. More instructions on that process to follow in December.
