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.
Re: Blk crk resv
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.

Re: Blk crk resv
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.

Re: Blk crk resv
In the U.S., it is illegal to hunt grebe species. Grebes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), a law that safeguards over 1,000 species of migratory birds, including grebes. This act makes it unlawful to pursue, hunt, capture, kill, or sell these birds, as well as their eggs, nests, or parts, without a permit. Violating the MBTA can result in significant fines and penalties. Grebes are mainly admired for their striking appearances and behaviors, and their populations are managed to ensure their conservation.
That’s all!

Re: Blk crk resv
I have not hunted with a gun in many years and my grandfather said divers were not good to eat so I never wanted to eat one so never shot any.
From what I can tell you are correct they are protected in all states where federal migratory bird protections are in place and according to my count of the list that is 50 states including Idaho.

I believe grebes are illegal to hunt. They are protected as a non-game species.
