Open houses will be held in each region for hunters to weigh in on the season-setting process for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goats.
Idaho Fish and Game will be setting new seasons in early 2023 and is gathering public input on proposals.
Hunters can easily review the proposals at the moose, sheep, goat proposals webpage once they’re posted. Proposals were expected to be posted on Dec. 13 or shortly thereafter, and the comment period will run through Dec. 29 at 8 a.m. at idfg.idaho.gov/comment.
Moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat seasons will be finalized by the Fish and Game Commission during its Jan. 26 meeting in Boise. The application period for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat controlled hunts runs April 1-30.
The public comment process will also include meetings and open houses hosted at Fish and Game’s regional offices at the time and dates listed online at idfg.idaho.gov. Staff at some regions will host a meeting and provide an overview of their proposals, while others will hold office hours where people can stop in and talk to a biologist during that time.
The Clearwater Regional Office, located at 3316 16th Street, Lewiston, will have open hours Tuesday, Dec. 20, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
