The required tag for mule deer in Idaho Unit 39 depends on the hunt. Controlled hunts 1030 and 1168 require a Deer Controlled Hunt Tag, while the general seasons use a Regular Deer Tag, which can cover mule deer or white-tailed deer unless otherwise noted. Both residents and nonresidents have controlled-hunt and Regular Deer Tag paths; residents also have a Deer Tag path, and restrictions vary by hunt.
