Now Accepting Applications for the 2019 Disabled Veterans Hunt

The Idaho Division of Veteran Services will coordinate an all-expenses-paid deer or elk hunt for a disabled Idaho veteran in 2019. The purpose of the hunt is to offer disabled veterans an opportunity to participate in a big-game hunt when they might otherwise be prevented from doing so by the seriousness of their disability. To be eligible for this hunt you must be a resident of Idaho and have a disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A tag is provided at no charge to the successful applicant by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game under a special program. 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.

Hunt dates will need to be coordinated well in advance, based on established seasons. In most cases, hunts occur in October or early November.

Please contact Kevin Wallior, 208-780-1308 or kevin.wallior@veterans.idaho.gov if you have any questions.
