Only residents of Idaho can apply as a Resident in the Controlled Hunt drawings. The key statement in the paragraphs below is that: "No one can claim Idaho resident privileges while claiming resident privileges in another state (except military personnel)".
The following is taken verbatim from the IDFG 2011-2012 proclamation:
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
Proof of residency is required before issuance of any resident license. A
resident is defined as any person who has been domiciled in the state of
Idaho, with a bona fide intent to make this his or her place of permanent
abode, for a period of not less than six months immediately preceding
the date of application for any license, tag or permit. A senior resident
is defined as any person who is over sixty-five (65) years of age and
who has been a resident of the state of Idaho not less than five years
immediately preceding the date of application for a senior license or tag.
Domicile means the place where an individual has his/her home to which
he/she has the intention of returning whenever he/she is absent.
A driver must produce his/her Idaho driver?s license as proof of
residency; or a nondriver must produce suitable proof of residency,
such as an Idaho Identification Card issued by the Department of
Transportation, or two documents bearing his/her name and address
(not issued by himself/herself) such as: in the case of a child under 18,
identification from a parent; rent receipts or mortgage statements for
the previous six months, home utility bills for the previous six months,
notarized statement from an employer on business letterhead, or proof
of voter registration dated six months prior. A previous year?s hunting
license is not proof of residency. Ownership of real property or paying
of property taxes within the state of Idaho is not a qualification for
residency. No one can claim Idaho resident privileges while claiming
resident privileges in another state (except military personnel).
A member of the U.S. military service or of a foreign country, together
with spouse and children under 18 years of age, residing in his/her
household, who have been officially transferred, stationed, domiciled
and on active duty in the state of Idaho for a period of 30 days preceding
application shall be eligible, as long as such assignment continues, to
purchase a resident license. A member of the Idaho National or Air
National Guard, domiciled in Idaho for 30 days preceding application
shall be eligible, as long as such residency continues, to purchase a
resident license.
Idaho residents who are in the U.S. military service, and maintain Idaho
as their official state of residence, together with spouse and children
(under 18 years of age) residing in his/her household shall be eligible to
purchase a resident license. The service person himself/herself is eligible
to buy a furlough license from any vendor while on leave. Other permits
and validations must be attached as required.
Persons who do not qualify as residents must purchase a nonresident
license.
