Upland Game Rules Available

Just in time for the opening of forest grouse and dove seasons on September 1, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game upland game rules brochure, delayed at the printers by a scheduling conflict, is now available.

The brochure covers rules and seasons for upland game birds, mourning doves, furbearers, rabbits and hares, crows, predators, unprotected species and falconry and trapping rules through March 2008. It also includes controlled hunts for sandhill cranes.

Copies will be available this week at Fish and Game offices and are being distributed to license vendors throughout the state. Shooters must have a valid hunting license, and to hunt doves and cranes, they also must have a federal migratory bird harvest information program validation.

The new regulations are also available on the Fish and Game Website at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/hunt/rules/ug/.
