Idaho Fish and Game will be setting new big game seasons for deer, elk, pronghorn, black bear, wolf, and mountain lion in March, and hunters will be able to comment on season proposals Feb. 8–23.
Hunters can easily check out the proposals on the big game season setting webpage once they have been posted at idfg.idaho.gov/comment. Proposals should be posted in early February.
Big game seasons will be finalized by the Fish and Game Commission during its March 26 meeting in Boise. The application period for big game controlled hunts runs May 1 through June 5.
