Hunting for mobility impaired

The Coeur d’Alene River Ranger District is accepting proof of eligibility for this season’s Mobility Impaired Hunting program through Sept. 25.

A random drawing will be held at the district’s Silverton office on Sept. 28. Each hunter will be allowed three consecutive days to hunt within one of the mobility impaired locations. Those not chosen will be placed on a waiting list.

To compete in the drawing, each applicant must come in person to the district office in Silverton or Fernan to show their Idaho handicapped person’s motor vehicle hunting permit, a valid Idaho disabled hunting license and a big-game tag for permit validation. Idaho residents need to have the doctor’s certification section of the form (BA-116) completed by their physician. Out of state residents must have their signature and physician’s signature notarized on the application.

For more information, call the Silverton office at (208) 752-1221 or the Fernan office at (208) 769-3000.

Youth hunts

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has approved a Youth Waterfowl Hunt for Sept. 26, the weekend before the opening of the regular waterfowl season. A Youth Pheasant Hunt is set for both days of the first weekend in October.

A full limit of geese is allowed for the young hunter. In the past, the hunt was limited to ducks.
