Was this the meeting to talk about the plague too, and if it is still going and where it is at?

Are you going to post the ok to shoot and not ok to shoot areas?

Thanks

72camero,

If you are going to be shooting in the Mt. Home area, you are good to go! From Emmett to Glenns Ferry, East of the Snake River, is all legal to shoot Piute Ground Squirrels. The areas that are closed are to the South and East, and North of the Payette River, North of Emmett! There is plenty of ground to hunt in the area described above! If you stay in this area, you are all good!

Stay out of the shaded areas, they are protected areas! The Brown Shaded area is Federally Protected!
