Hunters who applied for the 2008 spring turkey and black bear controlled hunts can find results on the Idaho Fish and Game website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/apps/ch/turkbear.cfm.

Successful applicants also have been notified by mail. Details for obtaining or exchanging tags are explained on the site. Hunters who need to exchange a general season tag for a controlled hunt tag can do that at any Fish and Game Office.

Hunters who have general turkey tag will need to buy a controlled hunt permit that costs $7.75. Hunters who don't have a general turkey tag must buy one as well as the controlled hunt permit.

Those drawing a spring bear controlled hunt and who have a general season tag may exchange the general season tag for the controlled hunt tag or may keep the general season tag and buy the controlled hunt bear tag. Any exchanges of tags must be completed at a Fish and Game office.

As my mother puts it, "I have been dealing with your father's neck swelling this time of year, for 26 years; and now I have to deal with both of you going into rut!"
