Parents of young hunters in southwest Idaho are reminded that general antlerless mule deer seasons in most units were shortened by one week this fall, following the tough winter of 2016-2017.
Unit 39 general antlerless mule deer season for youth hunters ends Oct. 24.
A careful review of the rule books before heading out is advised, as some hunters have already run afoul with the law.
“Mule deer does have been shot very recently in units 22, 31, 32, 32A, but the season in those units closed for youth doe on October 16,” said Charlie Justus, Regional Conservation Officer. “Hunters need to closely review the rule books each year, as changes to seasons are made almost every year.”
