Mistakes found in Idaho’s published waterfowl shooting times
HUNTING -- Official waterfowl shooting times in Idaho’s 2015 Waterfowl Season and Rules brochure contain errors, state Fish and Game officials say. The agency is alerting hunters to misprints for shooting hours on Nov. 1, Nov. 4 and Feb. 29.
- November 1 on page 12. Because daylight saving time ends November 1, both the beginning and ending times statewide should be within a minute or two of times listed for November 2.
- November 4 on page 12. The ending times for counties in northern Idaho should read 4:29 p.m. PST; and the ending times for counties in western Idaho should read 5:33 p.m. MST.
- February 29 shooting times are missing on page 14. Because 2016 is a Leap Year, both the beginning and ending times statewide should be within a minute or two of times listed for March 1.
Correct shooting times can be found on the agency’s website.
Fish and Game officials said the errors do not provide a reason for violation of the official shooting hours for waterfowl which are one-half hour before sunrise until sunset.
