Idaho Fish and Game

Idaho Fish and Game is seeking comments on its 2024-2025 Migratory Game Bird Season proposals.

Review the draft proposal below and submit comments by 6 p.m. MST, March 24, 2024.

After reviewing feedback and considering agency goals, season recommendations will be presented to the Commission for their consideration via conference call on April 17.

Beginning in 2020, Idaho Fish and Game held a swan hunt in Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, and Kootenai counties of northern Idaho. This hunt was considered experimental through the 2023 season. Subsequently, the Pacific Flyway Council and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have since approved of this hunting opportunity as operational.

The proposed season structure for Swan is:
