F&G Commission adds two new areas for pheasant stocking
At its July meeting, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission approved two new locations for pheasant stocking, one in the Southeast Region and another in the Salmon Region. Commissioners also delayed the opening day for nonresident pheasant hunters – excluding youth hunts – to five days after the general season opens.
The addition means there are will be 24 pheasant stocking sites located throughout the state when the season opens in the fall, and F&G plans to release about 37,000 pheasants for hunters in 2021.
