In Idaho, a number of commercial "shooting preserves" exist that allow a hunter to hunt domestic upland game birds for a fee. The fees charged vary but usually include a membership or use-fee plus a charge for all birds released to hunt.
These preserves are private and should not be confused with state Wildlife Management Areas or Federal Refuges.
The general season for a shooting preserve is August 15 to April 15. Contact the preserve of your choice for more information.
