Idaho hunters born on or after January 1, 1975, must either complete a hunter education course to purchase a hunting license, or show proof of a previously held license in Idaho or another state. Hunters need bowhunter education to buy an archery-only permit in Idaho if they are a first-time bowhunter. Anyone intending to trap wolves in Idaho must attend wolf trapper education prior to buying wolf trapping tags. Anyone intending to trap wolves that did NOT hold an Idaho trapping license prior to 2011 is required to take BOTH trapper and wolf-trapper education.
