Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board

Activities

For each activity that requires training, the Board must have on file and approved a training form before the guide renews. Activities chosen that a guide does not have training for will be ignored with the exception of big game hunting. Guides authorized to hunt who do not have the required training will be given "apprentice" status.
