The public is encouraged to review the proposed big game season changes and provide comments to Fish and Game by February 23, 2025.

Wildlife biologists from the Magic Valley Region will be hosting a series of big game seasons setting public open houses in February across the region. The purpose of these open houses is to provide information about proposed changes to big game seasons for the 2025 and 2026 hunting seasons, and to accept public comments about these proposals. 

Big game species include elk, deer, pronghorn, bear, mountain lions and wolves.

Public comments will be accepted on proposals from February 8 – 23, 2025.
