Idaho Game Records On-Line

Idaho’s hunting trophy records have recently become available on the Fish and Game Department’s Internet website.

Previously published only in a hard-to-find booklet, the document detailing current Idaho hunting records can be found at http://state.id.us/fishgame/fishgame.html/

Click the “What’s New” button on the front page and scroll down the list to find the link to big game records. The records were compiled by department retiree Ralph Pehrson, a Boone and Crockett representative.

Besides making the document widely available, publishing it on the Internet means the records can be updated more rapidly than the printed book.
