Looks like a moratorium on doe harvest left the house. IWF and others oppose it.
Seems pretty heavy handed and not very nimble to me.

Idaho fish and game has been resistant to public input about mule deer doe harvest for far too long. Refusing to close doe hunts In many areas for a plethora of reasons. They do need to lower doe harvest and improve wintering habitat post fire to bring back Idahos mule deer.
Unfortunately things are coming to this. It probably won't do much long term good and may be detrimental to MD without major habitat restoration.
It's a path to legislative management of wildlife where hunters WILL get the short end of the stick.
I hope it fails to pass but also I hope it gets IDF&G to take notice.
