Hunter education rules before you start the Idaho practice test.

Idaho hunters generally need hunter safety certification before hunting. Here is what to know before you take the Idaho practice test.

Idaho is one of the few states with no general hunter-orange requirement, except for upland game bird hunters, who must wear at least 36 square inches of fluorescent orange.

Official regulations are set by Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Always confirm current rules there before hunting.
