Idaho lets a physically disabled hunter hunt from a motor vehicle that is not in motion with a special permit under Idaho Code 36-1101(b). A physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner certifies on BA-116 that the hunter has lost use of the legs or both hands or cannot walk 200 feet without help, an aid, or great difficulty, and marks the disability long- or short-term.
The hunter completes the applicant section and affirms they can hold and fire legal hunting equipment without assistance. A physician, PA or NP licensed in the United States or Canada completes and signs the Doctor/P.A./N.P. Certification.

Yes. A physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner licensed anywhere in the United States or Canada can certify BA-116. If they are not licensed in Idaho, they must include a photocopy of their medical license or have their signature notarized in the section on the form.
That the hunter has lost use of one or both lower extremities or both hands, or cannot walk 200 feet unassisted, without a walker, cane, crutches, brace, prosthesis or wheelchair, or without great difficulty due to a neurological, orthopedic, respiratory, cardiac or arthritic disorder, blindness, or limb loss.
Permits expire no later than December 31 of the fifth year after issuance. For a short-term disability, the practitioner checks Short Term and enters the expected recovery date, which tells Fish and Game when mobility is expected to improve.
