FISH AND GAME - Amends existing law to require the annual issuance of certain Governor's Wildlife Partnership Tags.

FISH AND GAME

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This bill provides that the Idaho Fish & Game Commission enact Idaho Code 36-408, the Governor's Tag Program. This will provide the Idaho Department of Fish & Game an increased revenue stream. Revenue will be appropriated to the Access Yes! Program which is a collaborative effort to increase hunter access across private property. Revenue increases will be used for wildlife habitat projects and wildlife management projects to increase the quantity and quality of big game herds. The legislation authorizes the Commission to designate one moose, and three elk, deer and antelope tags respectively, and it will designate one wild sheep and one mountain goat tag per year. Tags would be taken from the nonresident tag pool thereby not diminishing resident hunting opportunity.
