LEWISTON, ID – The Idaho Fish and Game Department is currently accepting public input on the proposed 2025-27 seasons for the take of peregrine falcons from the wild for falconry purposes. Falconers and other interested parties have until March 25 to submit their feedback.
Since 2013, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission has allowed the annual take of two peregrine falcons for falconry. The proposed season includes two capture permits:
-
One statewide permit (for a nestling or juvenile peregrine falcon)
-
One additional permit (limited to nestling take in Lemhi and Custer counties, or a juvenile falcon statewide)
The final regulations will be determined at the May Commission meeting in Idaho Falls. Those interested in participating can provide their input at the following link: Submit Public Comment
