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.
In recent years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has allowed liberal (107 days) white-fronted goose seasons. Those 107 days can occur between September 21, 2024, and March 10, 2025.
Idaho sets waterfowl seasons by zones. These zones balance hunting seasons with biological opportunity, environmental conditions, and social desires. The number of zones a state can have is set within the Federal Framework. Currently, Idaho has six white-fronted goose zones.
Most recently, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission has adopted 105-day seasons and a 2-day youth/military hunt.
The proposed season structure for White-fronted Geese is:
(Please reference zone map below)
Zone 1: October 5, 2024 – January 17, 2025
Zone 2: October 5, 2024 – January 17, 2025
Zone 3: October 19, 2024 – January 31, 2025
Zone 4: November 4, 2024 – February 16, 2025
Zone 5: October 5, 2024 – January 17, 2025
Zone 6: October 5, 2024 – January 17, 2025
Proposed daily bag limit: 10 white-fronted geese. Possession limit: three times the daily bag limit.
