Idaho's Super Hunts

"Wow, what a season! It all started back in July when my brother Dallas called me at work. I believe that it started something like this, 'You lucky . . . " (more)

Ryan Smith, 2007 Super Hunt Winner

Every year, 34 lucky hunters walk into the field with special Super Hunt tags in their pockets. These tags allow a hunter to pursue an elk, deer, antelope or moose in any open hunt in Idaho. Sportsmen who have won this privilege call it a "hunt of a lifetime." The thrill is quadrupled for two Super Hunt Combo winners who are able to hunt all four species in any open hunt. This unqualified freedom to pursue world-class big game in Idaho is an experience winners will long remember.

Money raised through the Super Hunt Drawings goes to Access Yes!, a Fish and Game program dedicated to opening private lands to hunting and fishing.

Entering the Super Hunt drawing does not affect applying for or holding controlled hunt tags - Super Hunt tags are in addition to any general and controlled hunt tags a hunter has applied for or may already hold (except where other restrictions apply). First Drawing Deadline: May 31, 2008.

"Just to be able to choose any hunt was amazing. It's a hunter's dream. I wanted to hunt a place with few people and a lot of big bucks. That's just what I did. After hunting for nine days and looking over a ton of bucks, I saw him."
