April is not only about taxes, but about applying for bighorn sheep, moose and mountain goat hunts. Applications for these controlled hunts in Idaho will be accepted through April 30. Each applicant must possess an Idaho hunting or combination license to apply for a controlled hunt. License fees will not be refunded. Hunters who apply for moose, goat and sheep may not apply for any other controlled hunt in the same year except for unlimited controlled hunts, extra deer, elk or pronghorn hunts, controlled bear hunts or depredation hunts. Those who draw a moose, goat or sheep permit and do not kill an animal may not apply to hunt the same species for two years. More
Support the British Columbia Grizzly hunt SupportTheBCGrizzlyHunt via Go Petition Share ![]() ![]() ![]()

Several lobby groups have attempted to pressure and persuade the British Columbia government to end sport hunting. Sport hunting is a very useful and important tool in wildlife management and no group is more passionate about wildlife and proper management than outdoorsmen and the hunting community. These lobby groups have targeted the British Columbia Grizzly bear hunt in an attempt to eventually end all sport hunting.
