Across the United States, Game and Fish departments have announced new license sales, conservation efforts, upcoming meetings, and educational events as the nation enters late summer. In New Mexico, the Department of Game and Fish has released over-the-counter licenses for fishing and turkey for the upcoming 2025 to 2026 year. Permits can be purchased online, by phone, or in person, with a current focus on applications for the Sandhill Crane and Pheasant draws due by August thirteenth. The state is also engaging the public in wildlife restoration, particularly after the recent Trout Fire, with agencies collaborating to restore affected habitats. The New Mexico State Game Commission will hold its next meeting on August fifteenth in Reserve, with citizen advisory committees and public comment opportunities featuring prominently this season. Meanwhile, a young Mexican wolf was recently confirmed north of Interstate forty in northwestern New Mexico, highlighting ongoing efforts to monitor and support endangered species recovery, as reported by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.
In Arizona, the Game and Fish Department is prioritizing both hunter education and outdoor skills. A series of Chronic Wasting Disease workshops for deer and elk hunters are scheduled from August fifth through September twentieth, aiming to keep herds healthy and inform participants about disease management. The department is also celebrating National Shooting Sports Month in August, inviting recreational shooters to participate in special events and emphasizing safe shooting practices. Hands-on events in wildlife skills and boating safety are continuing throughout the state, and educational grants are being offered to K through twelve educators to support classroom wildlife projects, according to Arizona Game and Fish.
Montana’s Fish and Wildlife Commission will address key topics at its upcoming August twenty-first meeting, including the fall and winter furbearer and wolf trapping and hunting seasons, as well as a major conservation easement in the Great Outdoors area. The commission is ensuring the public can contribute comments on these regulatory decisions, with accessibility for those unable to attend in person a priority.
California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife opened applications for wild pig, deer, bear, turkey, dove, and quail hunts through its SHARE program, which promotes public access to private lands for hunting with a modest application fee, as outlined by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. On a national level, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service continues a broad range of conservation projects through over 560 National Wildlife Refuges and multiple fish hatcheries, advancing the management and protection of fish and wildlife resources.
Regionally, groups like the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies are planning targeted summits, such as the Western Elk Summit in Montana later in August, focusing on new management needs as elk populations and habitats experience ongoing change. The emerging pattern across states shows increased public engagement, a continued emphasis on both habitat and species recovery, and a strong focus on education and access as game and fish agencies prepare for the fall season.
