Rules change for some hunters

A new rule approved during Idaho's recent legislative session exempts the companion of a disabled hunter from the requirement of having a tag while helping a disabled hunter who has the appropriate tag and a valid disabled combination license. The law was changed in 2012 to provide allowances that Idaho did not have for companions to disabled hunters. The rule applies to big game as well as game birds. With the general turkey season under way, companions assisting disabled turkey hunters no longer are required to have a turkey tag or controlled hunt permit to assist a disabled hunter. For information about the rules for a companion to a disabled hunter, contact the local Fish and Game office, 799-5010.
