20 SECTION 2. In accordance with Section 67-3519, Idaho Code, the Department
21 of Fish and Game is authorized no more than five hundred eighteen (518) full-
22 time equivalent positions at any point during the period July 1, 2002, through
23 June 30, 2003, for the programs specified in Section 1 of this act, unless
24 specifically authorized by the Governor. The Joint Finance-Appropriations Com-
25 mittee will be notified promptly of any increased positions so authorized.
26 SECTION 3. It is legislative intent that the funding provided for the Tex
27 Creek/Willow Creek Pilot Project be used over a two year period by the Fish
28 and Game Commission to improve hunting opportunities. The Commission shall
29 review available information and conduct a survey of sportsmen, landowners and
30 others that would have knowledge of the current status of the trophy deer hunt
31 in Unit 69. It is also legislative intent that the Commission consider avail-
32 able information from other states that would be beneficial in determining the
33 potential for restoring and enhancing Unit 69 as a premier trophy deer hunt
34 area.
35 Whereas the Idaho Fish and Game Commission has developed a predator man-
36 agement policy, the Commission is directed to use all elements of the predator
37 management plan the Commission adopted including, habitat manipulation, coop-
38 eration with private property owners and other land managers, and predator
39 removal, to achieve greater hunting opportunities in the short-term and the
40 long-term. The Commission is directed to monitor the populations of deer, game
41 birds and trophy predator species in an effort to achieve greater hunting
42 opportunities on all species. The department is directed to report back to the
43 Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee at its fall meeting and at the regular
44 budget hearing during the First Regular Session of the Fifty-seventh Idaho
45 Legislature.
46 The Commission is authorized to use any reasonable means likely to effect
47 the purpose of this legislative directive including, but not limited to, coop-
48 erative agreements with landowners and land managers, cooperative agreements
49 with sportsmen and sportsmen organizations, and contractual agreements with
50 outside specialists.
51 The Commission is authorized to use funds from its current appropriation
52 to begin this project immediately.
