IWF’s Disabled Veteran Special hunt Sponsprship Program

Background

IWF’s Disabled Veteran Sponsorship Program kicked off in 2021 in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Disabled Veteran’s Special Big Game Tag Program. This program will sponsor one application annually on behalf of a disabled veteran for IWFG’s Special Tag program. IWF will also raise funds to cover hunt expenses for the sponsored veteran.

Tags are eligible for any hunt for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, black bear or mountain lion except controlled hunts with less than 5 tags are not eligible. Participants are exempt from licensing requirements and the tag is free. The tag is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The application period is January 2 through January 31 of the calendar year of the hunt.

How to apply

If you are a veteran, or know one who qualifies, and want IWF to be the organizational sponsor, please contact Brian Brooks: bbrooks@idahowildlife.org.
