2015 & 2016 — LAP Rules and ApplicationsControlled Hunt Application on Page 31

Land and Applicant RegistrationLandowners must register their land before they apply for Landowner Appreciation Program (LAP) tags. They only have to register their land once, but if their land eligibility changes in future years, they must re-register. Land registration must be submitted on a form provided by Idaho Fish and Game. Along with it, the landowner must provide Fish and Game a copy of the deed(s) bearing the name(s) of the owner(s), the most recent tax assessment(s), and a map of the eligible property. Fish and Game will certify the registration and land description and return a copy to the landowner. The LAP registration process is open year around, however Landowners are encouraged to submit their registration packet prior to June 1 of the current year to ensure timely review and approval prior to the controlled hunt application process.

Eligibility RulesProperty: To be eligible for the first drawing held in early August, property must be at least 640 acres of land in one controlled hunt area whether owned by one or more persons, a partnership, or corporation. It shall not include any government lands. Landowners with between 320 and 639 acres of land in one controlled hunt area are eligible to fill out an application and apply for leftover LAP tags available beginning on August 15. Leftover tags will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.Only property that is used by, and provides significant habitat values for deer, elk, pronghorn or black bear qualifies for the Landowner Appreciation Program. Landowners may receive a tag only for species that use the property.Landowners will only be eligible to apply for LAP controlled hunts occurring where their registered property is located (see controlled hunt area descriptions for each species).Applicants: Only one LAP tag per species may be issued for eligible property consisting of between 320 and 4,999 acres. One additional tag may be issued to a landowner or designated agent for eligible property of 5,000 acres or more. All registered landowners with 640 or more acres of significant deer, elk, pronghorn or black bear habitat will receive a chance at drawing one LAP tag (per eligible species) before any landowner with 5,000 or more acres receives a chance at drawing a second LAP tag (per eligible species). This rule helps to distribute available LAP tags to more registered landowners.

What’s New?Two Year Seasons!The Idaho Fish and Game Commission set big game seasons for two years. Please keep this booklet for both the 2015 and 2016 hunting seasons.

Addition of two Fall Black Bear Hunts:The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has added two new Fall Black Bear Hunts in hunt areas 22-1 & 32-1. See page 29.

If more than one application is received for eligible property consisting of 320 to 4,999 acres, all applications will be disqualified. If more than two applications are received for eligible property consisting of 5,000 acres or more, all applications will be disqualified.A successful landowner, corporate or partnership representative drawing a LAP tag may, without cost, designate to whom the tag will be issued. If the designee already has a general season tag for the species drawn, they will need to exchange the tag for the designated LAP tag at a regional office. This exchange must take place prior to the opening season dates for which the general season tag is valid. Exchanges requested after the opening of a general season for which the general tag is valid will not be allowed.Eligible applicants are limited to landowners listed on the Landowner Appreciation Program Registration form.“Landowner” is defined as any person or corporation whose name appears on a deed as the owner of eligible property or whose name appears as the purchaser on a contract for sale of eligible property as the purchaser; and any affiliates, management companies, associated entities, wholly-owned subsidiaries, corporations, or limited liability corporations wherein fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership or controlling interest is maintained by a single individual, partnership or corporation.“Authorized Corporate Representative” is defined as any shareholder in a corporation, designated in writing by the corporation as the eligible applicant, who is in actual physical control of the eligible property.

Requirement of Non-Landowner Applicants

Corporate / Partnership Representatives: If the person registering is an authorized corporate or partnership representative, he or she must submit with their registration written verification from the board of directors, partnership, or an officer of the corporation, other than themself, verifying that he or she is authorized to register the property and eligible applicants.

Hunt Areas and TagsLAP tags are made available for controlled hunt areas designated by Idaho Fish and Game.Hunt areas may differ by species (e.g., deer, elk, pronghorn, black bear). If there are more applicants than tags available in an area, successful applicants will be determined by a drawing. Applications which are not drawn for the first choice hunt will automatically be entered into a second

choice drawing provided the second choice hunt applied for has not been filled.All big game rules apply to persons applying for, or hunting with, LAP tags, except:● You are eligible to apply for an LAP tag even if

you have applied for a moose, bighorn sheep, or mountain goat hunt.

● LAPtagapplicantsforantlereddeerandelkhuntsare exempt from the one-year waiting period after being drawn.

Motorized Hunting RestrictionUse of motorized vehicles by hunters as an aid to hunting big game is restricted in certain areas. A full description of the rule can be found in IDAPA 13.01.08.411, 13.01.08.412, or the 2015 & 2016 Big Game Seasons and Rules brochure. In summary, the rule states motor vehicle use as an aid to hunting for wildlife is restricted to established roadways open tomotorizedtrafficcapableoftravelbyfull-sizedautomobiles. A full-size automobile is any motorized vehicle with a gross weight in excess of 1500 pounds. Established roadways will be considered any roadway-dirt or better-showing signs of repeated use by full-sized vehicles and typically have depressed wheel tracks and minimal to no vegetation in the wheel tracks. Vehicle users can retrieve game, pack camps or ride for pleasure as long as they are in compliance with land manager or private landowner restrictions. The rule does not apply to private lands with permission from the landowner.

See the 2015 & 2016 Big Game Seasons and Rules brochure, Pages 101-103, for complete rules on

Motorized Hunting Restrictions.

Individuals designated LAP tags must pay the appropriate tag fees based upon their own residency status.Application Deadline: Fish and Game will accept controlled hunt applications on or after June 15. Applications received by July 15 will be entered in the random drawing for tags, which will be weighted to allow one chance for each 640 acres of eligible property to each applicant.

Mule Deer numbers across much of their range in Idaho have increased recently following multiple mild winters and good habitat conditions, but there’s still work to do. The Mule Deer Initiative (MDI) continues

to work with private landowners and land management agencies to:

• Protect and improve habitat• Improve mule deer numbers• Provide a variety of hunting opportunities

Idaho’s Mule Deer Initiative

Getting things done for mule deer requires partnerships.We’re currently working with:

• The Bureau of Land Management to restore critical winter range in the Soda Hills and other areas across southern Idaho.

• The Caribou-Targhee and Salmon-Challis National Forests to improve and expand aspen stands which are critical during fawning.

• The Sawtooth National Forest to provide increased infrastructure to reduce motorized travel impacts on critical big game habitat.

• The Idaho Transportation Department to develop strategies to reduce deer-vehicle collisions.

What is Chronic Wasting Disease?• Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a rare but fatal disease of the central

nervous system in deer and elk.

• There is no evidence that CWD in deer and elk can be transmitted to or cause disease in humans.

• CWD has been found in wild and captive deer and elk in several other states and Canadian provinces. Fish and Game has tested over 10,500 deer and elk for CWD, and it has not been found in Idaho.

Helping Prevent CWD in Idaho:• Importing captive deer into

Idaho is prohibited.

• IDFG will not transplant deer or elk from out of state into Idaho.

• The Idaho State Department of Agriculture has a CWD monitoring program for privately owned elk.

• Idaho residents hunting in states where CWD is known to exist should be aware of and follow any special restrictions or rules established by that state.

• The threat of spreading CWD should be considered a serious concern. All practical steps to reduce the risk of spreading it should be taken.

Fish and Game recommends hunters should:• Not harvest or eat wild animals that appear sick.

• Wear latex or plastic gloves when field dressing and processing game.

• Clean meat carefully, remove bloodshot tissues and cool the carcass as quickly as possible.

• Use clean equipment for butchering and clean equipment before and after working with carcasses.

• Avoid contact with brain and spinal tissues, ideally by boning out the carcass if possible.

• Avoid eating the brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen and lymph nodes of harvested animals.

• Properly dispose of carcass remainder in an appropriate landfill. Learn More @

Private lands habitat is a key to many wildlife populations in Idaho. The Habitat Improvement Program, HIP for short, is a technical assistance and cost-share program designed to help landowners create or improve habitat for waterfowl, upland game birds, and many other species.

What Does HIP Do?

HIP assists private landowners by:

●Providingprojectplanning

●Providingspecialequipment

●Helpingwithprojectcost

For more information, contact your local regional Idaho Fish and Game office (listed on the back of thisbrochure).

Pulling together, we can stop the spread of this deadly invader and help protect big game habitat. Join us in the fight againstnoxious weeds and the threats they pose to Idaho’s agriculture, rangelands, recreationand wildlife habitat. Phone the IdahoWeedAwareness Campaign.

Enter an Idaho Super Hunt drawing and support Access Yes!

Money raised by Idaho’s special Super Hunt tags funds the Access Yes! program, which provides hunting and fishing access to private lands.

Idaho’s Super Hunts are also a hunt of a lifetime. Super Hunt and Super Hunt Combo tags allow hunters to participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn and/or moose. To win a tag hunters need to purchase entries for the Super Hunt drawings.

Access Yes!

Access Yes! improves sportsmen’s access to private land or through private land to public

land by compensating willing landowners who provide recreational access.

Requirements to use individual properties vary, so plan first. Respect for lands and landowners will help ensure the continued success of this program.

For information on Idaho’s Access Yes! program, including maps of enrolled properties, see the Hunting Section on the Fish and Game website at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov. Access Yes! guides are also available at your local Idaho Fish and Game office.

LAP Application and Drawing Common QuestionsHow many tags am I (a Registered Landowner) eligible for?

The number of tags that a landowner is eligible for is based on the number of acres they have registered in the hunt area.

• Landowners with 320-639 acres are eligible for leftover tags only.• Landowners with 640-4,999 acres are eligible for 1 tag per species.• Landowners with 5,000+ acres are eligible for up to 2 tags per species.

How does the LAP application and drawing work?Application(s):

• To apply registered landowners must submit an application, the appropriate application fees, and specify their 1st choice and 2nd choice (optional) for each species.• Landowners who are eligible for 2 tags can submit their application for the first and second tag on the same application. Hunt numbers for each tag must be filled out correctly and appropriate fees for applications must be included for each species.

Drawing: In 2010 the LAP drawing process was modified to allow all applicants to have a chance at one tag (first tag application) before any landowner can draw a second tag (second tag application) for each species. The controlled hunt drawing system processes and awards tags through the following steps:

1. 1st choice hunts from first tag applications are processed through the random, weighted, controlled hunt drawing and tags are awarded.2. 2nd choice hunts from first tag applications are then processed through the same random, weighted, controlled hunt drawing for hunts with remaining tags and tags are awarded.

• No person can draw their 2nd choice hunt if all tags have already been awarded to 1st choice applicants.

3. 1st choice hunts from second tag applications (for Landowners who are eligible for 2 tags), are then processed through the random, weighted, controlled hunt drawing and tags are awarded.

• No person can draw a second tag if all tags have been awarded to first tag applicants (including 1st choice and 2nd choice hunts).

4. 2nd choice hunts from second tag applications are then processed through the same random, weighted, controlled hunt drawing for hunts with remaining tags.

Are my chances of drawing a tag higher if I have more property registered?Yes. The drawing is weighted based on acreage. Landowners receive one weighted entry for each 640 acres they registered by unit for that species. For example:

• A landowner with 640 acres will receive 1 entry for the hunt.• A landowner with 1,280 acres (2 x 640 acres) will receive 2 entries for the hunt.• A landowner with 1,920 acres (3 x 640 acres) will receive 3 entries for the hunt.

I didn’t draw a tag for either my 1st choice OR my 2nd choice. Why didn’t I draw?Themostcommonreasonalandownerdoesn’tdrawisbecausethehunttheyareapplyingforisoversubscribed(areas with more landowners than tags available).

Can I apply for an “Extra” deer and/or elk tag too?Yes. Landowners are eligible to apply for and draw “Extra” LAP tags in addition to the tags that they are eligible to have.

• To be eligible landowners MUST have property registered, for the species they are applying, in the areas where “Extra” tags are offered.

For additional questions on the LAP application and drawing process please contact your Regional Office.
