Fish & Game proposes price lock plan

SANDPOINT — Idaho Fish and Game will ask Idaho lawmakers this legislative session to consider a proposal to increase resident Idaho license and tag fees

But the request has a twist.

The proposal, if approved, would be followed by a Fish and Game Commission order allowing license buyers to exempt themselves from the increase, as long as they buy an annual license starting this year.

The Fish and Game Price Lock proposal is unique to Idaho.  The goal is to create an incentive for hunters, anglers and trappers to buy annual licenses, whether they use them or not.
