To use this brochure:
Pick the species and area you want to hunt, then refer
to the section on that bird.
Season and limit pages include maps of the three
hunting areas of the state.
For help in the process, try the online Hunt Planner at the
Fish and Game website http://fshandgame.idaho.gov.
Waterfowl hunting is split into three areas in Idaho. Area 1
includes the northern and eastern parts of the state. Area 2 is
the southwest corner of the state. A third area has been added
for light geese. Area 3 is that portion of the Upper Snake
Region within Bingham County in Game Management Unit
(GMU) 63 south of highway 20 and west of the west bank of
the Snake River, and that portion of the Southeast Region
within Bingham and Power counties in GMUs 68 and 68A
west of the west bank of the Snake River and American Falls
Reservoir.
General seasons for waterfowl are set for these areas. Hunters
should check to make sure which area includes the place
they want to hunt. Ducks, Wilsons snipe and American coot
seasons and limits are on page 8; goose seasons, limits and
areas are on pages 6 and 7, and waterfowl shooting hours are
on pages 10-12.
Detailed rules and restrictions begin on page 18. License
requirements and fees begin on page 23.
Special Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days
Open to licensed hunters 10 to 15 years of age.
Duck, goose, snipe, and coot hunting open for two days
only, on September 24 and 25, 2011.
Federal migratory game bird harvest information program
validation required.
Federal migratory bird (duck) stamp not required.
Daily duck, goose, snipe, and coot bag limits: Same limits
statewide that are in effect during regular seasons.
At least one adult 18 years or older with a valid hunting
license must accompany each youth hunting party into the
feld at all times. Adults are not authorized to hunt.
All other state rules and federal regulations pertaining to
the taking of migratory game birds are in effect for this
hunt.
Whats New?
In 2011, the waterfowl season in Area 2 will open
one week later than it has in recent years. This
decision was based on public input we received
from hunters in recent years as well as comments
gathered online and at recent regional open house
meetings. Hunters in Southwest Idaho told us
they would like the opportunity to hunt later into
January.
This winter, Fish and Game is going to conduct
a statewide survey that will help determine what
waterfowl seasons in Idaho will look like over the
next fve years. The concept of the survey is to ask
waterfowl hunters in each region of the state what
type of season they prefer (continuous vs. split;
early vs. late). Look for it in the mail!
Reduced Fees Available to Nonresident
Disabled Vets
A new state law that took effect July 1 extends
reduced license and tag fees to nonresident
disabled American veterans participating in a hunt
in association with a qualifed organization.
See License page 27 for qualifcation requirements.

Purple loosestrife
(Lythrum salicara)
Purple loosestrife is a semi-aquatic,
hardy perennial that can grow over
8 feet tall. Stems are usually 4
sided and much branched, bearing
opposite or whorled, 4-inch long,
lance-shaped leaves. Crowded
fower spikes develop at the stem tips
in midsummer. Flowers are 1 inch in
diameter with 5 to 7 reddish-purple,
wrinkled petals that appear as if they
have been crushed. A single plant
may produce over 2.5 million tiny
seeds per year.
What to do when you see this weed
Do not pull it. You may spread this weed if you
pull it out of the water. A piece of this plant the
size of a postage stamp can sprout and grow an
infestation of weeds.
Contact your local county weed superintendent
listed under County Government in the
phonebook or website at www.agri.idaho.gov/.
Be on the
lookout for

Dont Shoot!
Swans are Protected!
Two species of swans are found in Idaho: tundra swans,
smaller and more numerous; and trumpeter swans, the
largest and one of the rarest waterfowl species in the
world. Both are protected and cannot be hunted in Idaho.
These slow, low-fying birds are vulnerable to accidental
and illegal shooting. Because they are larger with longer
necks and adult birds are completely white, swans do not
closely resemble any legal game bird. Trumpeters have a
seven-foot wingspan and weigh 25 to 30 pounds. Snow
geese and Ross geese are also white but are much smaller
and have black wing tips. Young swans (cygnets), are
a medium gray color with paler belly and wing linings,
weigh 15 to 20 pounds, have wingspans of almost 7 feet
and fy with a slow, distinct wing beat.
Hunters Must Be Sure of Their Targets! Report all
sightings of swans with neck collars to the nearest Fish
and Game offce. (See Page 2)

General Rules and Information
Most of the waterfowl harvested in Idaho are produced in Canada. Southern Alberta is especially important for breeding
waterfowl that come to Idaho during the hunting season. Idahos waterfowl season is set within a framework determined by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in late July after meeting with all state fsh and wildlife agencies.
Public open house meetings are conducted in all Fish and Game regions of the state. The time for comment is necessarily short,
but hunters have an opportunity to be heard.
License Requirements: To hunt upland game birds, waterfowl, such as ducks, geese or brant, common snipe, mourning
doves and sandhill cranes, small game, predators and unprotected species or to practice falconry in Idaho, all hunters must have in
their possession an Idaho hunting license with the appropriate validations and stamps.
Federal Migratory Bird Stamp, costs $15 from the Post Offce. Receipt from Fish and Game offces and vendors costs
$17.75, and signed in ink by the holder, effective from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. Required for any
waterfowl hunter 16 or older.
Federal Migratory Game Bird Harvest Information Program validation (federal HIP), costs $1.75 for residents, or
$4.75 for nonresidents, effective from January 1 through December 31 of each year. Required for all waterfowl hunters.
Both are available online at: https://id.outdoorcentral.us/, and at any license vendor.
Information from the federal HIP allows migratory game bird managers to estimate more accurately the annual harvest of
waterfowl, shorebirds (snipe, for example), and doves to gain a better understanding of bird populations.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and all state wildlife agencies are cooperating in this program to gather better harvest
information on migratory game birds. Idaho joined the program in 1996.
Migratory Birds are birds protected by federal law as a result of
treaties signed with other countries. Protected migratory birds
are listed in Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations, Section.
10.13. This list includes almost all birds found in the United
States with the exception of the house sparrow, feral pigeon
(commonly called rock dove), European starling, Eurasian
collared-dove, mute swan, and upland game birds (which are
protected by state laws).
All migratory birds are protected. However, a subset of
migratory birds classifed as migratory game birds may be
hunted in accordance with State and Federal regulations. The
list of migratory game birds includes species of ducks, geese
(including brant), swans, doves and pigeons, cranes, rails,
coots, gallinules and moorhens, woodcock and snipe, if there is
an open season.
Stamps and Validations
No person shall hunt mourning doves, sandhill cranes, ducks,
geese, brant, coots or common snipe anywhere within the
state of Idaho without having in possession the appropriate
hunting license that has been validated for the Federal
Migratory Game Bird Harvest Information Program (Federal
HIP). The validation cost is $1.75 for residents and $4.75
for nonresidents, and is available at any license vendor. This
validation is in effect from January 1 through December 31 of
each year.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and all state wildlife
agencies are cooperating in this program, which began in 1992,
to gather better harvest information on migratory game birds.
Idaho joined the program in 1996. The Federal HIP will allow
migratory game bird managers to more accurately estimate the
annual harvest of waterfowl, shore birds (snipe, for example),
and doves to gain a better understanding of bird populations.
Nontoxic Shot: Nontoxic shot is required for all waterfowl
hunting in Idaho. Hunters may have in their possession only
nontoxic shot approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
that is 0.20 inches in diameter (T size) or smaller. Please
see http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/
nontoxic.htm for the most current list of non-toxic shot
approved for waterfowl game.
Federal Regulations
In addition to state rules, the following federal regulations
apply to the taking, possessing, shipping, transporting, or
storing of migratory game birds. This information is only a
summary of the major federal regulations which are found
in Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, and
which are available at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/
waisidx_08/50cfr20_08.html. Violation of federal regulations
is also a violation of state law.
It is against the law to take migratory game birds:
With a trap, snare, net, rife, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun
larger than a 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machine
gun, fshhook, poison, drug, explosive, or stupefying

With any shotgun capable of holding more than three
shells unless it is plugged with a one-piece fller which is
incapable of removal without disassembling the gun.
From a sink box (a low foating device having a depression
affording the hunter a means of concealment beneath the
surface of the water).

Hunter and Bowhunter Education
To buy a hunting license, all hunters must show proof
that they have completed a hunter education course
if they were born on or after January 1, 1975, unless
they have held a hunting license from Idaho or another
state.
To buy an archery permit, all bowhunters must show
proof they have completed an approved bowhunter
education course or show evidence of having been
licensed for an archery-only hunt in Idaho or another
state, or complete an affdavit to that effect.
The Hunter Education Course includes 15-17 class
hours plus a two- to four-hour range and live-fre
exercise. The curriculum includes training in frearms
safety, basic archery safety, hunting ethics, wildlife
management, conservation, survival, regulations and a
fnal written exam.
The Bowhunter Education Course averages 12
class hours plus a feld exercise. Subjects include
bowhunting equipment, techniques, safety, shot
placement, ethics, treestand safety, outdoor
preparedness and the state fnal exam.
Independent study courses include a workbook option
and two Internet-based course options for hunter
education and an internet-based course for bowhunter
education as alternatives to the traditional classroom
courses for students 10 years or older. There is a
small additional cost for the Internet courses that is
paid directly to the course provider. All independent
study courses require the successful completion of
an additional six- to seven-hour scheduled feld day.
Course and registration information can be found on
the Hunter Education Program page of the Idaho Fish
and Game website at http://fshandgame.idaho.gov/
cms/education/hunter_ed/ or obtained from a regional
Fish and Game offce. It is highly recommended that
individuals planning to participate in fall hunts
register for a course early in the year and before
June 30 Hunter education and bowhunter education
classes are taught by volunteer instructors who, like
other hunters, want to be afeld early in the hunting
season. The number of classes and independent
study course feld days available becomes very
limited because of a decrease in instructor
availability close to and during the hunting season
Individuals with disabilities may request reasonable
accommodations or obtain additional information by
contacting the Fish and Game State Hunter Education
Coordinators offce, 600 S. Walnut St. Boise, ID
83707, phone 208-334-3746, or through the Idaho

ron.fritz@idfg.idaho.gov.
Your Social Security Number is Safe: The 1998 Idaho
Legislature required that all applicants for licenses issued
by the state, including hunting or fshing licenses, tags and
permits, must give their Social Security number for a license
or permit to be issued. The Idaho Privacy Law protects your
Social Security number. It is considered confdential, will not
be printed on your license and will not be given to any private
person or organization.

Lifetime certifcates can be purchased at Idaho Fish and Game
headquarters and regional offces only.
