Pheasant Season is Now Open

Pheasant hunting season in southern Idaho began Saturday, October 15, and will run through December 31 (November 30 in eastern Idaho). A popular place to pheasant hunt is at Fish & Game’s Wildlife Management Areas where the Department stocks thousands of rooster pheasants during the hunting season. Local WMAs to check out are C.J. Strike (near Bruneau) and Niagara Springs (south of Wendell). Hunters should note that the age requirement for a WMA pheasant permit is now 18. Besides having valid Idaho hunting license, hunters 18-years-old and older must purchase a $23.75 WMA pheasant permit to hunt those birds. Permits are available anywhere licenses and tags are sold. Pheasant hunting at WMAs is popular, which means they can get congested at times. To maintain safety, all upland game bird/animal hunters are required to wear vis-

ible hunter orange (minimum size 36 square inches) above the waist during pheasant season when hunting on WMAs where pheasants are stocked. A hunter orange hat meets this requirement.

Big Game Hunter Reports

Reminder: Earlier this year, Fish and Game’s online vendor’s database was breached. Because of this hunters can not file reports online. The toll-free is, however, still available and hunters can call 877-2689365 to file their hunter reports for deer, elk and pronghorn, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Reporting is quick and easy, and when you file your report, you give critical hunt and harvest information, which directly affects decisions about next year’s hunting seasons. Every person who purchased a license and big game tag this year is asked to file a report, even if they did not go hunting.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: There’s a saying in the West that water is worth more than gold. That couldn’t be more true for citizens in Legislative District 26 which includes Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln Counties. Representative Steve Miller protected this precious resource by voting to fund aquifer recharge and water storage. Water is critical for Idaho’s economy and well being. Miller works to resolve water issues within Idaho. United we can protect Idaho’s water from outsiders who would take it from us. Miller has served on the Camas County Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors for 38 years. He was president of Idaho’s Association of Conservation Districts, and served on the National Association of Conservation Districts’ Executive Board. Those years of voluntary service to his community, the state and the nation put him in good stead to fight for Idaho’s water right and encourage conservation. I ask you to vote for Steve Miller. He has the experience needed. Maureen Schwendener, Ketchum ------ Experience and Knowledge count, Re-Elect Steve Miller Dear Editor: As an owner of a farming operation in Carey, Idaho, I know water is the life blood of our farms and I’m thankful knowing that Representative Steve Miller is looking after our water interests in the State Legislature. Steve Miller works to solve problems in the Idaho Legislature and protect our resources. Miller voted to recharge our aquifers and increase water storage. Steve Miller as owned and operated his farm in Camas County for 30 plus years. He has served on the Camas County Commission and the planning and zoning commission. Miller has served on the Camas County Soil Conservation District. He gets Blaine County’s economic needs. Protecting its water resources is key to our valley’s success. He’s a member of the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee, and Resources and Conservation Committee, plus the Agricultural Affairs Committee. Blaine County needs Miller in the legislature to look after our interests. Representative Steve Miller has a record of researching issues and finding consensus to benefit all of our families in Legislative District 26. Whether you are talking water, education, or fostering a pro-business environment in our valley, Miller’s the best person for the job. We need his experience and knowledge working for us. His opponent, Kathleen Eder, has limited experience. Blaine voters would be sending someone with no legislative experience to serve in the minority caucus. With his 4-years of experience in the legislature serving with the majority caucus, Miller has a smoother path to getting legislation passed. Please return Representative Steve Miller to the Idaho House. Laneta Hansen, Carey
