October 18, 2013 |
The Disabled Hunter Access Program on the
Bonners Ferry Ranger District will be available
again this year to qualifying hunters. The
program allows motorized access for hunters with
disabilities on two roads normally closed to
motorized use during the general rifle seasons
for both elk and deer.
The program is limited to hunters who hold both
a Disabled Hunting License and a special "Idaho
Handicapped Vehicle Hunting Permit" from the
State of Idaho that allows them to shoot from a
motorized vehicle.
More information on the Disabled Hunting License
and Handicapped Vehicle Hunting Permit can be
obtained from the Idaho Department of Fish and
Game in Coeur d'Alene at (208) 769-1414.
Individuals may obtain more information on the
program by contacting Sandy Steinhorst at the
Bonners Ferry Ranger Station (208) 267-5561,
6286 Main Street Bonners Ferry, Idaho 83805.
Hunters will need to provide a copy of their
disabled hunting license and their "Idaho
Handicapped Vehicle Hunting Permit" before they
are entered in the drawing. Office hours are
from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. |
