Ask Fish and Game: Big Game Rules

Q. I have the new 2008 fishing regs but where is the new book on hunting rules? A. You will not have the new hunting rules book in hand until mid-April. The rules for 2008 will not be adopted by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission until March, soon after which the book will go to print. The rules are not expected to be radically different this year, but some changes will be made. The 2007 book should be used only as a general guide. Remember, controlled hunt numbers change each year, so make sure you are using the 2008 book when you apply for those hunts in May.
