Pistols allowed in Idaho’s short-range deer seasons

HUNTING -- Idaho is in the second year of allowing handguns to be used during short-range deer seasons.

Beginning last year, the use of handguns using straight-walled center-fire cartridges not originally developed for rifles was approved for use in big-game short-range weapon hunts, Idaho Fish and Game officials say.
