Applications for spring black bear controlled hunts are open through Feb. 15 – East Idaho News
The following is a news release and photo from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
IDAHO FALLS – Hunters looking to apply for 2024 spring’s controlled hunts for black bear can apply from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15. Information on the spring 2024 controlled black bear hunt can be found in the 2023 Idaho Big Game Seasons and Rules booklet.
Hunters must have a 2024 hunting license in order to apply for controlled hunts, and there are several ways to apply:
- Online: Hunters can apply here, or on the Fish and Game mobile app. There is a service charge of 3% of the transaction in addition to the nonrefundable controlled hunt application fee.
- Licensed Vendors: At any Fish and Game regional office or license vendor.
- Telephone: Applications can be placed over the phone by calling 1 (800) 554-8685.
Mail in applications are no longer accepted.
Controlled hunts are hunts with a limited number of tags allocated by a random drawing, unlike a general season hunt, which allows hunters to purchase tags over the counter. Controlled hunts are often desirable because of location and timing, and success rates are usually higher than general season hunts.
Junior hunters must be between the ages of 10 and 17 to participate in any bear controlled hunt, but a 9-year-old may buy a junior license to apply, provided the hunter is 10 years old at the time of the hunt for which they are applying.
Controlled hunt applications for spring 2024 black bear close on Feb. 15. Successful spring black bear applicants will be notified no later than March 10. Any leftover tags for spring bear controlled hunts go on sale April 1.

Trendy, Viral Street Clothing Brand Announces Popup at Village at Meridian
Shopping for fashion…in the Treasure Valley.
What comes to mind? Do we have enough options to keep your closet stocked and trendy, or do you rely on the internet for that?
Thanks to The Village at Meridian, tons of new and large clothing brands have come to our area that otherwise, have not been options for in-person shopping. But what is missing? We still don’t have a Zara, for example.
One ‘trendy’ and popular clothing line that does NOT have a permanent location in Idaho has decided they’re going to be ‘popping up’ and you guessed it, it’s going to be at The Village at Meridian.
Have you ever heard of ‘Lonely Ghost’? The streetwear brand is easy to spot around town, frequently. The brand touts a goal of inclusivity and positivity in the ‘streetwear space’.
The webpage dedicated to Lonely Ghost’s Meridian Pop-Up says the following:
Boise, we’re coming back! If you were there last time, you already know this isn’t just a pop-up. It’s the kind of pop up everyone talks about after. The people, the experience, the energy. And if you missed it the first time? Here’s your opportunity to right your wrong. Bring your friends. Bring your heart. Bring the version of yourself that’s been craving something real. We’ll be there—waiting with open arms, new pieces we made just for this, and maybe even a few surprises.
One of the most popular critiques online so far? The location isn’t in Boise–it’s in Meridian!
Come on, Lonely Ghost…give Meridian their flowers!
Expect the pop-up location to be popular and BUSY! The event will be held on April 17th and 18th from 10:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night, both days.
The exact address of the pop-up is: 2126 N Eagle Road, Suite 120, Meridian ID 83646
