Fish and Game Seeks Comments on Waterfowl Seasons

Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking public comment on proposed changes to the 2014-15 waterfowl seasons. The deadline for comments is August 7. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which oversees waterfowl management at the national level, authorized Fish and Game to hold a waterfowl season similar to the 2013-2014 season. Using that authorization as a framework, Idaho Fish and Game has proposed a 105-day season, identical in length to last year's. Seven bird bag limits and 14 bird possession limits are part of the new season proposal. For season proposals and to comment: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/seasons/waterfowl Waterfowl hunters may also provide their comments by attending one of several open house meetings throughout the state. Contact your nearest Fish and Game office meeting details about the meeting in your area. Written comments may also be mailed to: 2014-15 Waterfowl Seasons, P.O. Box 25, Boise, ID 83707. Information collected will be summarized and presented to the Fish and Game Commission, which will set final waterfowl seasons August 11 in Idaho Falls.
