IDFG’s mission is to “Preserve, Protect, Perpetuate and Manage all of Idaho’s wildlife.” The IDFG strategic plan is the roadmap the department uses to ensure we are achieving that mission. It charts the broad strategies and tactics the department will employ in the coming years to sustain Idaho’s wildlife and meet the demand for hunting, fishing and trapping. The plan was last updated in 2015, so Director Frederick’s decided the plan was due for an update to ensure the strategies we use will allow us to achieve our mission now and in the coming years. While the plan provides the overall approach the agency will take in the future, it does not dictate the specific seasonal rules and regulations or species management plans that IDFG updates on a regular basis.
