25 May New Idaho Youth Deer Hunting Opportunity May 25, 2014By George McQuiston General Information, Guided Hunts, Mule Deer, Youth Mule Deer Hunts, Youth Hunts 0 Because of some recent changes in antlerless deer tags allowed in our area and recent Idaho laws changed involving private lands, Idaho and specifically Wild Idaho Outfitters is able to offer a new and unique youth deer hunting opportunity. I have often wondered how we could “share the wealth” of an undersubscribed private lands antlerless deer hunting opportunity in literally our own back yard, knowing nonresident der tags are 302 dollars and thinking who on earth would pay 302 dollars for an antlerless tag? Then it hit me! Idaho has one of the best youth hunting opportunities in the form of reduced youth hunting tag fees in the country (in my opinion of course). So why not offer special youth antlerless hunts on the private land that we have access to? So this year we are offering youth antlerless deer, short range weapon hunts through December for a very low and special price…yet to be determined We are working on logistics, but want it to be a comfortable lodge type hunt or motel hunt and short 3 days or so and make it affordable enough for an adult to want to bring their youth hunter to Idaho. We will be working out the details over the next couple of weeks while back in bear camp, but if a short range youth deer hunting opportunity on private land holds an interest to you, please contact us so we can get you the details as soon as available. Also know the draw is on right now for this tag and is due by June 5th.
