Sportsmen mad as Otter makes Idaho Fish and Game commissioners reapply
Gov. Butch Otter took the unusual step of asking two Idaho Fish and Game commissioners to reapply for their appointments, which come up for renewal in July.
Mark Doerr, of Kimberly, represents the Magic Valley Region and is the current chairman of the seven-member commission. Will Naillon, of Challis, represents the Salmon Region. Already the Idaho State Bowhunters Association has gathered more than 1,000 signatures on a petition asking Otter to reappoint the two men.
Otter says the commissioners are welcome to reapply, according to his press secretary, Jon Hanian. If they decide to step down, he will ask them to serve on the committee he will appoint to choose their successors.
