Big game hunt regulation meetings set

The Idaho Fish and Game Department has scheduled a series of public meetings to gather public comments on the 2019/2020 big game hunting seasons.

Wildlife biologists will be on hand to talk about elk, deer, pronghorn, mountain lion, bear and wolf hunting proposals.
