HUNTING -- Proposals for Idaho's 2015 big game hunting seasons that expand opportunity in many areas will be considered today at the Idaho Fish and Game Commission meeting in Boise.

Much of the additional opportunity will be available to deer hunters, as another mild winter has kept populations high, wildlife officials say.

Also on the commission's agenda is a series of proposals regarding elk hunts, many of which address depredation concerns. The proposals also include some specific changes in relatively isolated areas.
