Fish and Game is seeking public comment on its draft Mountain Goat Management Plan for 2025-30

Hunters and other interested parties have until June 8 to comment on a draft Idaho Mountain Goat Management Plan for 2025-30. Commenters are encouraged to review the draft plan and state if they generally support, support with concerns or do not support the draft plan. Commenters can address specific items of support or concern in the "general comments" section.

The plan will provide guidance for Fish and Game to implement management actions that will aid in the protection and management of mountain goat populations and guide harvest recommendations. 

A final draft of the plan will be presented to the Fish and Game Commission for its consideration at the July 16-17 meeting in Coeur d’Alene. 

The six-year plan includes management direction for the following areas:

• Mountain goat ecology

• Harvest management

• Population monitoring

• Human-mountain goat interactions

• Health and disease

• Statewide management direction and strategies

• Population Management Unit-level data and priorities
