Carrying a gun in Twin Falls County
Idaho allows permitless concealed carry for adults 18 and older who may legally own a firearm. The Twin Falls County Sheriff issues optional standard and enhanced concealed weapons licenses, the enhanced one honored by more states. Schools, courthouses and posted property can still restrict carry.
Hunting near Twin Falls
Idaho sells general deer and elk tags over the counter to residents and draws controlled hunts in some units. Any-weapon deer seasons commonly open in October. Check the Idaho Fish and Game Big Game Seasons and Rules.
Mule deer range in the South Hills, and Idaho any-weapon deer seasons commonly open in October; check your unit.
Idaho's permitless carry from 18 and its lack of a purchase permit make buying simple, and the canyon and farmland draw pheasant and duck hunters.
