As a whole, the mountain lion season in Idaho is wide open! The only variants throughout the year (July-June of the following year) are various regulations, such as the use of dogs, electronic calls, and units that you can fulfill a second mountain lion permit. The basic gist is that you can use one full-priced mountain lion tag in any general season unit in the state. Your reduced-price mountain lion tags can only be used in units that allow second lion tags. The units have the chance to vary, so the best thing to do is to check the unit tables each year listed in the big game regulations. A hunter may use an unfilled non-resident deer or elk tag to take instead a black bear, mountain lion, or gray wolf during the open season corresponding to the deer or elk tag hunt area or unit when the season for the animal taken is also open.
