Deadline to comment is March 15.
Idaho Fish and Game is seeking comments on proposed migratory game bird seasons for 2026-27. Fish and Game staff will present all season proposals to the Commission for review during the April 9 conference call.
Hunters can review these proposals online and provide input on the Migratory Game Bird webpage. The deadline to comment is March 15. For those interested in commenting on a specific season proposal, click on the section you wish to provide input on below.
The above duck and goose season recommendations are thanks in large part to all of our duck and goose hunters, whose responses in the 2024 goose and 2025 duck surveys helped our staff shape these season structure proposals and zone boundaries.
