DISABLED VETERANS ELK HUNT Registration
MUST BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN April 30, 2012
Disabled Veterans Hunt Applicatioin 2012
The Idaho Division of Veteran Services will be coordinating an expense-paid deer or elk hunt for two disabled veterans in 2012. The purpose of the hunt is to offer disabled veterans an opportunity to participate in a big-game hunt that might otherwise be prevented by the seriousness of their disability.
Tags are provided at no charge to the successful applicant under a special program by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The selected veteran may choose antlered or antlerless deer or elk in compliance with established seasons. Specific tag information will be provided to the selected veteran.
The hunt will occur on a private ranch in Unit 45, north of Mountain Home, Idaho. Hunt dates will need to be coordinated well in advance, based on established seasons. In most cases, hunts occur in October or early November.
Hunters will be expected to provide their own transportation to Mountain Home or Boise. Rustic cabin/bunkhouse accommodations, meals and on-site transportation and assistance will be provided at the ranch at no cost to the veteran. If the veteran has or requires a medical caregiver, cabin accommodations, etc. will also be provided for the caregiver. The cabin/bunkhouse is not barrier-free, so hotel accommodations in Mountain Home will be provided if required by their disability. Hunters will need to make arrangements for their prescription and medical supplies, if any.
Hunters will be responsible for their own meat processing and mounting in the event their hunt is successful.
Please fill out the application found on the Idaho Division of Veterans Services web page at www.veterans.idaho.gov and submit to Idaho Division of Veterans Services, Attn: Disabled Veterans Deer or Elk Hunt, 351 Collins Road, Boise, Idaho 83702.
Veterans will be selected by a committee consisting of personnel from Idaho Division of Veterans Services and veterans from the State of Idaho. All personal information submitted will be confidential and used only by the selection committee. The selected veteran will be notified by IDVS and will be contacted by the ranch to coordinate hunt dates and other specifics.
