Moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat controlled hunts remain unchanged for nonresident hunters, who can still apply, and are limited to no more than 10% of the total number of tags for each species.

Moose, sheep and goat tags are among Idaho’s most coveted hunts and also among the most successful for harvest.
In 2023, hunter success was:
- Moose: 80%
- Bighorn Sheep: (California = 69%; Rocky Mountain = 81%)
- Mountain Goat: 93%
Moose hunters are reminded that in addition to the controlled hunts, there are four moose tags available through Fish and Game’s Super Hunt program, or on Page 28 of the 2023-24 Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat Seasons and Rules booklet. The deadline for entries for the first Super Hunt drawing is May 31.
