FISH AND GAME – Adds to existing law to provide that the Department of Fish and Game shall not adopt or enforce any rule that makes it unlawful to use sabots in a muzzleloader-only season.

H 128 (Idaho Code §36-419) prevents Idaho's Department of Fish and Game from banning the use of sabots (plastic or metal inserts that stabilize bullets) during muzzleloader-only hunting seasons. The bill directly affects hunters participating in muzzleloader seasons by ensuring they can continue using sabots without new restrictions. It requires the department to not adopt or enforce any rule prohibiting sabots in these seasons, effective July 1, 2025. This is a specific regulatory change to existing hunting rules, not a new hunting opportunity.
