Fish and Game Working on Waterfowl Seasons

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission will consider proposed waterfowl seasons and limits during a special meeting August 16 in Idaho Falls. Season proposals have not yet been set, but managers anticipate waterfowl seasons similar to last year. Fish and Game officials plan regional meetings in early August to gather public comment on proposed waterfowl seasons. Waterfowl hunters in the Clearwater Region have a chance to comment on proposed 2010-2011 duck and goose seasons during an open house from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. August 2 at the Idaho Fish and Game office, 3316 16th St., Lewiston. In the Panhandle Region, an open house to discuss waterfowl season proposals has been set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, August 11, at the Fish and Game office, 2885 Kathleen Ave., Coeur d'Alene. In the Upper Snake Region, an open house is set for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, August 4, at the Fish and Game office in Idaho Falls to discuss sage-grouse and waterfowl 2010 season recommendations. Hunter comments collected from across the state will be summarized and presented to the commission, which will set the final waterfowl seasons August 16. Other meetings will be announced as they are set, and season details will be announced as they become available.
