June 2022 Idaho Returned Tag Sale

So far in 2022, Idaho has already had two of their nine Returned General Season tag sales. These sales will continue through the month of October, so there’s still a chance if you’re looking to put a tag in your pocket. I would expect to see the bulk of returned tags hit the sale floor come July or August after all draw processes are complete. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this updated article prior to each sale date and hopefully you get lucky. 

On the June 23 return sale date in Idaho at 10:00 am MT, there are just a handful of tags available. Check out the list below.

• Returned tags are available on a first-come, first-served basis
• One tag can be purchased for any of the units listed in the table below (could pick up an elk and a deer tag)
• Individual unit tag counts are a not-to-exceed limit.

Returned sold out tags

Any available tags will be listed on Idaho's 2022 returned tag page here.

If there are any returned tags, they will be available once a month until September, and then it switches to the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 10:00 a.m. MT. The list of available tags for that period will be made available two days before the sale opens at 10:00 a.m. Remember, these are available online on a first come, first served basis and they will sell out quickly!
