FISH AND GAME - Amends existing law to revise age provisions associated with the purchase of wildlife management area upland game bird permits.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This bill amends section 36-409(i), Idaho Code, to raise the minimum age required to possess a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Upland Game Bird Permit from age 17 to age 18. Possession of this permit is required to hunt pheasants at certain wildlife management areas designated by the commission where pheasants are stocked. This change will simplify the licensing rules for eligible individuals, who are 10 to 17 years of age, to hunt with a Junior Hunting or Combination license.
