When you purchase an Idaho State hunting license you acknowledge that you ‘know the Idaho State Hunting Rules’.
Just like getting a Drivers license, you acknowledge that you know all the driving rules.

First you have to know that it is a violation🥹

Does anyone know if the shooting of the grebes was reported to IDFG in that region? In the future, if you can get a vehicle description or license plate and any other details (the more the better) it goes a long way to helping them in actually making the case.

I saw two hunters who asked if hunting was allowed there. It is.
I heard them shooting later and saw them waiting for a couple of Eared Grebes to float in with the wind they found out it was not wadable where they were. I told them the birds were not very good to eat but they said they ground them up for sausage and jerky.
I’m here ran into some duck hunters i thought no hunting allowed when confronted them they said they hunt here often I’m I wrong on the no hunting

So unfortunate. And I had no idea that hunting was allowed at Blackscreek, this explains why I see flocks of Canada Geese flying away from me when I walk around with a tripod over my shoulder, a species that normally would not do that.
FWIW, the rules are the same anywhere in the country, grebes are
protected. They can’t put up signs at every location where hunting
is legal listing game species. It’s up to the individual to learn
what is, and isn’t, legal to kill. I’ve certainly seen my share of
this type of violation and it usually works for me if I talk to
them and let them know they’re breaking the law. In my experience
it’s usually kids and they’re usually unaware they are violating
the regulations. Adults usually do know and don’t care – those are
the ones I’ll report to Fish and Game.

I agree, grebe’s are protected under the non-game migratory bird species act, these “hunters” need to be reported to IDF&G, And to be be honest, they probably have been doing this for years. Grind them up for sausage, give me a break! Citizens Against Poaching # 800-632-5999
Bob, I think you were witness to this, and likely the best person to report the incident.
