If you cannot locate information or features on the IDFG website that are critical for you, please contact any of our IDFG offices, and we would be happy to help.
The website still provides critical information for hunters and anglers, including seasons and rules brochures, public comment opportunities, access to our licensing website, hunter education opportunities, and IDFG contact information.
As of this afternoon, October 22, 2026, the full functionality of the Idaho Fish and Game website has been replaced with a minimal, static webpage. This decision was made as a proactive measure to minimize the risk of a potential security vulnerability.
