Idaho Fish and Game yep raises license fees to cover costs

Officials say license fees remain the department’s main revenue source as lawmakers have rejected general fund support and other ideas like a sports goods tax or trophy fees. Projected income from the increase is about 14 million dollars, roughly one tenth of the budget, with no solid alternative funding found.
