idfg-staff
Waterfowl hunters have a chance to comment on proposed 2006-2007 duck and goose seasons during an upcoming open house hosted by Idaho Fish and Game.
On Tuesday, August 1, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, Fish and Game personnel will be on hand to visit with the public at the Fish and Game Nampa office (3101 S. Powerline Road). The open house format allows visitors to attend anytime during the session. Call 465-8465 for more information.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which oversees waterfowl management at the national level, has authorized Fish and Game to hold a waterfowl season very similar to last year's. Using that authorization as a framework, Fish and Game is developing a recommended season for the southwest portion of Idaho.
Information collected at public open houses across the state will be summarized and presented to the Fish and Game Commission, which will set the final waterfowl seasons on August 8.
Individuals with disabilities may request meeting accommodations by contacting Cece Mann at the Fish and Game Nampa office (465-8465) or through the Idaho Relay Service at 1-800-377-3529 (TDD).
