Idaho Fish and Game will be setting new seasons for upcoming moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat hunts in early 2023 and gathering public input on proposals starting on Dec. 13.
Hunters can easily review the proposals at the moose, sheep, goat proposals webpage once they’re posted. Proposals are 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 below. 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.
