I heard that the property near Springfield was purchased as part of mitigation from Bonneville Power. and that the Sho-Ban tribe was to manage the lands. Is the area open to public hunting?
Answer:
Legacy Springs in Bingham County near Springfield land is owned by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and they have turned management responsibilities over to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Fish and Game department. I would suggest you contact the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal management staff biologist Erin Eddingsaas @ 1-208-239-4577 or 208-236-1137. Mr . Eddingsaas can advise you as to what kind of use restrictions if any; the Tribe has placed on the area. If you have further questions regarding “Legacy Springs” fell free to contact Blake Phillips at 208-236-1261 or 208-232-4703. Thank you for your question and my apologies for the tardy response it was passed on to other folks to answer over the Holidays.
