List of returned Idaho general season tags — June 2023


Photo credit: Dreamstime

Again, 2023 leftover tag season is upon us, and this is the third period for Idaho's returned general season sold-out deer and elk tags. Just recently today, Idaho listed their returned tags that are going to be available. I was checking the list all day and night yesterday and it wasn't updated at that time.

On the June 22 return sale date in Idaho at 10:00 am MT, there are some tags available.

  • 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 2023 returned tag page here.

If there are any returned tags on the other sale dates, 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. These tags will be available online on a first-come, first-served basis, and they will sell out quickly!

Before the June 22 sale date, it's a great idea to do some research ahead of time on both Filtering 2.0 and GOHUNT Maps to see what units you might be interested in. Jump over to those research tools below:
