DIRECTOR MOORE’S OPEN LETTER TO THE HUNTERS, ANGLERS AND TRAPPERS OF IDAHO

daho’s 2016 hunting season was another banner year. Te white-tailed deer Iharvest topped 28,000 deer for the third year in a row, mule deer harvest exceeded 40,500 deer for the frst time in 25 years, and elk hunters harvested over 23,000 elk for the second year in a row which was the best two-year period in 20 years.

Deer hunters had a 37 percent success rate in general season hunts and 56 percent success rate in controlled hunts.

Elk hunters had a 17 percent success rate in general season hunts and a 39 percent success rate in controlled hunts.

As Idaho Fish and Game director, I am happy for hunters and proud of our staf. We have worked hard to bring predator and prey populations into better balance, and to improve habitat both for wildlife and for fsheries. Tese goals are outlined in the Idaho Fish and Game 2015 Strategic Plan, designed to better focus on improving hunting, fshing and trapping.

While we enjoy the benefts of healthy wildlife populations, we also have to be mindful that more animals on the landscape can cause problems for many farmers and ranchers whose crops and livelihoods are threatened by wildlife depredation. Tat is why Idaho Fish and Game is working hard to mitigate wildlife caused damages to private property. In 2016, the agency spent $450,000 to build 100 stack yards throughout Idaho and another $360,000 to compensate landowners for damages. We have also increased harvest of antlerless animals and are hiring seasonal staf to help prevent wildlife depredation problems.

Because some of Idaho’s most valuable wildlife habitat is located on private land, Idaho Fish and Game is recognizing landowners who conserve habitat by issuing more Landowner Appreciation Program tags. Large landowners are now receiving multiple LAP tags based on their contributions to wildlife conservation.

Resident and nonresident license sales are the strongest they’ve been since before the great recession, but we simply do not have enough resources to continue to proactively deal with various demands—from responding efectively to crop depredations and providing excellent hunting, fshing and trapping opportunities, to keeping various species of the Endangered Species Act list.

Tat is why Idaho Fish and Game is discussing its Price Lock proposal with lawmakers in 2017. A dozen years have passed since Idaho residents last saw their license fees increase. None of us like to pay higher fees but most of us recognize how important responsive, professional wildlife management is and we need to be able to keep our momentum going and continue to serve the hunters, anglers and trappers, landowners, and the citizens of Idaho to the best of our ability.

I invite you to learn more about the Price Lock proposal by visiting the Idaho Fish and Game website at: https://idfg.idaho.gov/

Tank you for supporting Idaho Fish and Game and wildlife conservation in Idaho and I wish you great hunting, fshing and trapping in 2017.
