Non-Resident Tag Issuance Advisory Group will meet July 25
The purpose of the Non-Resident Tag Issuance Advisory Group is to review current processes for how Idaho Fish and Game issues general season deer and elk tags to nonresidents, and to develop recommendations to the Commission on potential improvements. This group will review options, including using a draw system and enhancing the current over-the-counter system.
To ensure input from a range of perspectives, the Non-Resident Tag Issuance Advisory Group includes representation from the Idaho Legislature, Idaho hunters, rural economic interests, and the outfitting industry. Recognizing modifications to the existing system may require legislation or rulemaking in 2025 and/or 2026, the intent is for the Advisory Group to finalize recommendations before the end of the year.
Members of the public are welcome to observe the meeting using the Zoom information below. There will be no opportunities for public comment or interaction with the committee during the meeting.
