Quick Answer
In Idaho, wolf tags can be transferred to another hunter, but there are specific requirements and deadlines to follow. The tag must be transferred through the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's website or mobile app, and the recipient must meet the eligibility requirements. The deadline for transferring tags varies by season.
Transferring Wolf Tags in Idaho
Transferring a wolf tag in Idaho is a convenient option for hunters who cannot use their tag before the expiration date. To initiate the transfer process, the hunter with the tag must log in to their Idaho Fish and Game account on the website or mobile app. They will then need to navigate to the “Manage Licenses” section and select the tag they wish to transfer.
Deadline and Requirements for Transfer
The deadline for transferring wolf tags varies by season and is typically set by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. For example, in the 2023-2024 hunting season, the deadline for transferring wolf tags was November 30th. The recipient of the tag must meet the eligibility requirements, which include being at least 12 years old and having a valid Idaho hunting license. Additionally, the recipient must not have already received a wolf tag for the same season.
Transfer Process and Fees
The transfer process is free, but there may be a fee for replacing a lost or damaged tag. The recipient of the tag will receive an email with the tag information and a temporary hunting license. They will need to print or download the temporary license and carry it with them while hunting. The actual wolf tag will be mailed to the recipient within 10-14 business days.
