Partridge Season Opening Dates Moved Back

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission, during the annual meeting Thursday, January 28, changed the season opening and limit on chukar and gray partridge, and changed turkey rules. The season for chukar and gray partridge will open statewide on October 1, with a daily limit of six birds and 12 in possession. The commissioners also changed pheasant shooting hours on opening day to one-half hour before sunrise statewide - except at C.J. Strike, Fort Boise, Montour and Payette River wildlife management areas, where it will open at 10 a.m., including youth hunts.
