fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/?getPage=332THIS IS SOME COOL INFO FOR THE YOUTH HUNTERS! Hunting Passport
Sunday, March 17, 2013 Idaho’s Hunting Passport is a component of Fish and Game’s mentored hunting program. The Hunting Passport allows any first-time hunter, resident or nonresident, age 8 and older to try hunting for one year with an adult mentor without first having to complete an Idaho hunter education course. Hunting Passport Highlights: ?Hunting Passports are only available to first time hunters. Those that have previously held a hunting license in any state are not eligible. ?Hunter Education certification is not needed to obtain a Hunting Passport. If an individual has completed a Hunter Education course but has not yet purchased a license, they are eligible for a Hunting Passport. ?The minimum age to hold a Hunting Passport is eight years of age; there is no maximum age. ?The Hunting Passport is a calendar year item just like a hunting license and expires on December 31 of the year in which it was obtained. ?Only one Passport can be purchased in a lifetime. To continue hunting after the Passport expires, completion of a hunter education course and license purchase is required. ?Hunting Passports are available at license vendors and Fish and Game regional offices. ?Cost is $1.75. Read more info at the link at the top of the page! Kids can hunt at 8 years old now! With a mentor! Way Cool. I am going to call IDF&G and find out about getting the club involved in this program. Thank You. Gary

Very cool information Gary. I can guarantee that you'll be seeing Parker along side me now on a few varmint hunting trips in the near future. He turns 8 in April. I might be more excited about this than he is

That is very cool Eric. I like to see the young one out traipsing the sagebrush with their parents. Learning the right ways of life (important way!).
It seems the parents are always more excited than the kids. I think that is because the parents actually know what to expect, and the kids don't know what is going to happen (most of the time) so they are kinda laid back until they learn how much fun it is, then they jump in with both feet.
