Idaho check stations near unit 17

[mike.adams.467]

We'll be coming in from the east and will be just about 5 miles from the MT border. I'll call them again and see what the next FNG person says. I asked him if he was sure it was Missoula MT and he confirmed it was. I have no clue how these things work out west but sure seemed odd to me. Thanks fellas!

As stated before, Idaho doesn't have check stations like you find all over eastern states. A game warden can normally check in your bear, which involves pulling a tooth, filling out a form, and they might put a metal tag on the hide. Sometimes one lives near where you are hunting. Ask the regional office for that area. I live about 100 miles from the nearest F&G office, but there is a game warden living a few minutes from me. He will check in bears and wolves for us.
