I am planning a trip to Idaho to hunt chukar from October 18 thru October 20, 2014. I will be purchasing a 3-day small game non-resident license. Am I able to hunt chukar on these dates even though it coincides with the first 5 days of pheasant season?
Answer:
Yes, you can still hunt chukars during the first five days of the pheasant season. The code only specifies pheasant. Here is a copied and pasted section from 36-407:
(e) Nonresident Small Game Hunting License. A license issued only to a person twelve (12) years of age or older, entitling the person to hunt upland game birds (to include turkeys), migratory game birds, upland game animals, huntable furbearing animals, and unprotected and predatory wildlife of this state. A person holding this license shall purchase the appropriate required tags and permits, and may not hunt pheasants in an area during the first five (5) days of the pheasant season in that area. A license of this type may be had upon payment of a fee as specified in section 36-416, Idaho Code.
