- Auto-renew feature that allow you to get new licenses automatically before the current ones expire.

- Licenses bought online are instantly valid by printing a copy or storing it digitally on your smart phone.

- Multiple ways to fill out mandatory hunter reports, including a quick log-in feature.
- “Go Outdoors Idaho” phone app is available on the Apple App Store and Google play. You can download the apps for ease of buying licenses and tags, applying for controlled hunts, tracking up to five family members’ purchases, filing mandatory hunter reports, and more.
