The application period for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat controlled hunts begins on April 1 and runs through April 30. Hunters can apply online or at any Fish and Game office, license vendor, or by telephone by calling (800) 554-8685. Hunters are reminded that Fish and Game no longer accepts mail-in applications, and that moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat controlled hunt tags are excluded from designation by any parent or grandparent to their minor child or grandchild. Moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat controlled hunts remain unchanged for nonresident hunters, who can still apply, and are limited to no more than 10 percent of the tags. To apply for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat hunts, each applicant must possess a 2021 Idaho hunting or combination license. There is a nonrefundable application fee of $16.75 for residents and $45.75 for nonresidents. Moose, sheep and goat hunt applicants must pay the tag fee along with the application fee when they apply. The total application fees for moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat are:
Residents under Price Lock: $ 183.50 Residents without Price Lock: $ 216.50 Nonresidents: $ 2,672.50
Moose, sheep and goat drawing results will be online in early June. Tag fees will be refunded to those who did not draw, but not the hunting license or application fees. A person is allowed to apply for one of these three species in a year, and those who apply for a moose, sheep or goat hunt are ineligible for most deer, elk and pronghorn controlled hunt drawings. For more details, see page 37 of the rules booklet. For more information, review the 2021-2022 Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat Seasons and Rules brochure, which is available at Fish and Game offices and license vendors. Moose, sheep and goat tags are among Idaho’s most coveted hunts, and also among the most successful for harvest. In 2020 hunter success was: Moose: 76 percent Sheep: 74 percent Goat: 91 percent Statewide tag numbers stable for bighorn sheep and mountain goats, down for moose.

Letter to the Editor
Creating a Stink!
Whoever is killing skunks then disposing of their bodies on 100 West, just south of Baseline Road in Camas County, will you KNOCK IT OFF. A hand full of people, myself included, use that route to walk or bike and find it annoying that someone is throwing dead skunks into the ditch or just past. First body I thought was hit by car. Second body same thing with some skepticism. Today’s count is 6 and the stench of human involvement is overpowering. Lots of roads up here that are much farther away from town...use one of them. And if the fresh crop of beer cans in the area is yours, take them as well. Roxane Olson

Cup of Tee
Everyone has a tell tale way of saying spring is here. In the winter they rely on the groundhog to give them an estimate of remaining weather. Of course, the daylight savings time frame doesn’t do much for the indication of spring. My best indication is the migrating bird, the Curlew. They migrate to the Southwest Idaho area for mating. They may have chose our area as a way of adapting for food search when our area was heavily farmed in the spring. The coastal region in which they primarily hang is overcrowded with other birds looking for the same foods. The tides are different during Spring time thus reducing available food sources. In the Southwest Idaho area the birds eat a lot of worms and bugs brought up by farm tilling. They even eat grasshoppers. That in itself could be a great blessing in our area due to the fact grasshoppers can cure ruin farm crops by eating them up. Curlews have a long curved beak which one thinks would be hard to eat with. On the coastal grounds they dig down in the loose sand for food. In our area they run through the field. Their long curved beak allows them to catch food before it gets away. The curlew number were really reduced in recent years due to hunters shooting

them for sport. Actually, I would like to rephrase that. They are shot by people wanting to shoot their guns. Hunters usually hunt for food not just the sport of target practice. Some of the shooting may be attributed to being closed in during the winter, and shooters just wanting to get out. Farmlands are disappearing at a high rate, making breeding and feeding grounds non-existent. The four-wheel motorcycles and side-by-sides make the land use less receptive to curlew habitat. The curlews come and Spring does too, all in the same motion. I have watched them come in together for 50 years, and have sometimes thought, “What would happen if they didn’t? Would we be living in such places as New York? Would things change in the human life style?” At any rate, I am still thankful for being able to see a season change and its benefits at this present time. I hope I am able to for a long time to come. This is me “springing” for my “Cup of Tee.”
