Idaho Fish and Game is seeking comments on its Draft Pronghorn Management Plan 2023-28. Due to a minor website issue, the deadline has been extended to April 16.
The plan will provide guidance for staff to implement management actions that will aid in the protection and management of pronghorn populations and guide harvest recommendations.
The plan identifies major issues that affect pronghorn management in Idaho and will function as the action plan to help guide overall direction for management during the next six years (2023-28). This plan will guide the department in annual work plan development and program prioritization and provide guidance on development of regulatory recommendations.
The plan includes management direction for the following topics:
• Population Management
• Habitat Management and Climate
• Movement and Migration
• Harvest Management
• Depredation
• Health and Genetics
• Predation
• Translocation
