FISH AND GAME – Amends existing law to provide for the location of blinds.
This bill prohibits the use of hunting blinds near non-natural watering sites in Idaho. It directly affects hunters who set up blinds for game viewing or taking wildlife near artificial water sources like stock tanks or reservoirs. The key provision amends Idaho Code §36-1101 to explicitly ban blinds in these locations, while also revising penalty provisions in §36-1401 for violations. The change aims to prevent unfair hunting advantages and protect wildlife behavior around human-made water features.
