Idaho Super Hunts are fund-raising drawings for 40 big game tags. The tags are handed out to winners in two drawings. Entries are drawn for elk, deer, pronghorn and moose tags. Winners can participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn or moose. That includes general hunts and controlled hunts.
Entries in the second Super Hunt and Super Hunt Combo drawing must be received at the Fish and Game headquarters by August 11 with the drawing set for mid-August.
A "Super Hunt Combo" entry and entries for two elk, two deer, and two pronghorn hunts along with one moose hunt will be drawn. The entry period for the second drawing is June 2 through August 11.
Hunters can take an animal or animals on their Super Hunt or Super Hunt Combo tags in addition to any general season or controlled hunt tags they also hold. All other rules of individual hunts apply.
The special drawings began in 2004 as a way to raise money for the Access Yes! Program, which helps assure hunter and angler access to and across private lands by compensating willing landowners.
The first entry costs $6; additional entries for the same species cost $4 each when purchased at the same time. Super Hunt Combo entries cost $20 for one; additional entries are $16 when purchased at the same time.
Hunters can enter at license vendors, Fish and Game offices, or online at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/hunt/superhunt/
Entry forms can also be obtained by calling 800-824-3729 or 800-554-8685.
Entry order forms should be mailed: Fish and Game License Section, P.O. Box 25, Boise, ID 83707.

2011 Colorado Big Game Hunting Brochure
The Colorado Division of Wildlife is rolling out its 2011 big game hunting brochure with some major enhancements to help hunters apply for licenses and find information about big game hunting in the state. Applications for the 2011 fall big game season are due to the Division of Wildlife by Tuesday, April 5.
The fully re-designed brochure includes easy-to-read tables, a detailed list of new hunt opportunities in the state and a reference page with important information about Colorado hunting regulations. Copies of the brochure are available anywhere licenses are sold.
Also new this year is an interactive, on-line companion version of the brochure that has video clips offering hunt pointers and tips on how to apply for licenses through the draw process.
Beyond enhancements to the brochure, the Division has also continued to improve its customer service efforts.
Another change this year is the requirement that all license applicants purchase a $10 Habitat Stamp before they apply for their first hunting or fishing license of the year.
Hunters who use paper applications and apply for multiple licenses must include the $10 stamp fee for each application if they have not previously purchased a stamp for the current year. All but one of these fees will be refunded. By purchasing a Habitat Stamp in advance or using the on-line application process, applicants can avoid extra paperwork and expense.
"About 64 percent of our customers apply on-line so they'll get the stamp automatically if they need it, but for hunters who prefer the traditional paper application, we want to make sure they understand the requirements," Turner said. "Another benefit of applying on-line is that the system prevents you from making some of the more common mistakes." Turner added that on average, 10 percent of paper applications each year contain errors or illegible writing that can result in delays or disqualification from the draw process.
A lifetime Habitat Stamp is available for $200 prior to March 31. Beginning April 1 the lifetime Habitat Stamp will increase in cost to $300.
The Colorado Wildlife Habitat Stamp program was initiated by sportsmen and established by the Colorado legislature in 2005. Proceeds from the Habitat Stamp have helped the Division conserve 103,074 acres of wildlife habitat and secure 40,635 acres of new public hunting and fishing access.
Hunters born after Jan. 1, 1949 are also reminded that they must have completed a hunter education course prior to applying for a hunting license in Colorado. Since the hunter education requirement was imposed in 1970, hunting accidents have significantly declined in the state.

2 Nova Scotians Win Lifetime Hunting Rights
Two Nova Scotians have landed lifetime passes to enjoy world-class fishing and hunting in the province.
The departments of Natural Resources and Fisheries and Aquaculture announced on Dec. 17 2010, that Scott Johnson of Musquodoboit Harbour and John Webber of Shubenacadie have won the 18th annual Nova Scotia Federation of Anglers and Hunters Licence of a Lifetime Lottery.
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Webber can hunt and fish throughout the province for the rest of their lives without having to buy another fishing, small game or deer-hunting licence. The prizes were donated by the two government departments.
John MacDonell, Minister of Natural Resources, drew one of the winning names saying hunting and fishing are a way of life in Nova Scotia.
"Our bountiful land and waters have long been a source of pride for Nova Scotians and hunting and fishing continue to be pastimes that thousands of us enjoy," said Mr. MacDonell. "I congratulate the winners of this lottery and encourage young Nova Scotians to hunt and fish in our beautiful outdoors and keep this great tradition alive."
Sterling Belliveau, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, drew the other winning ticket and touts hunting and fishing as an ideal way to enjoy the beauty and greatness of our outdoors.
"These activities promote active, healthy living and are extremely important to the rural, coastal economy of Nova Scotia," said Mr. Belliveau.
Mike Pollard, president of the Nova Scotia Federation of Anglers and Hunters, encourages those who don't hunt or fish to give it a try.
"It's a safe way to get exercise, safer than many mainstream sports and it's a healthy activity and a good source of all-natural food," said Mr. Pollard.
