- Ask First - Idaho's trespass law requires everyone
to obtain permission before entering private property
that is irrigated or cultivated. If the private property
is rangeland or forested, it's the landowner's
responsibility to post the property if they wish to
control access. These lands must be posted with signs or
orange painted fence posts nor more than 660 feet apart.
Always respect the property of others and ask first to
use or cross private property. Idaho “Courtesy Cardsâ€
are available from the Dept. of Fish and Game to provide
information from the hunter to the property owner.
