| Idaho Waterfowl Association has primarily been developed by a group of dedicated waterfowl hunters who have met through the Duck Hunter's Refuge Forums. A successful initial planning meeting was held on February 10, 2005 and soon after, a formal Mission Statement was adopted.
On April 28, 2005, the general membership selected a temporary Board of Directors to begin the formal process of incorporating as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Board has been working since that time to draft and finalize the Bylaws of the Association and begin planning for events and fundraising. Federal 501(c)3 status was gained in the summer of 2007.
Please join us in our Forum if you are interested in the future of waterfowl hunting in Idaho. We will be discussing the paths we can most effectively utilize to attain our mission of enhancing and preserving waterfowl and waterfowl hunting in our state.
IWA is a statewide organization. We encourage waterfowl hunters from all parts of the state to join in working for a better future for waterfowl and waterfowl hunting.
The IWA Bylaws are available for review HERE
The current Board of Directors for the IWA consists of avid waterfowlers from across the state.

My name is Darin Bruce (aka Pinman) on the IWA forums. I was born and raised in eastern Idaho and moved to the Treasure Valley about 21 years ago. Outside of my few years in Washington for school, Idaho has been my home my whole life. I love any and all kinds of hunting but my biggest passions are hunting Waterfowl and Bow hunting. I have been a member of the IWA since its start and will continue to support it in all its ventures.
I believe in the IWA and anyone who loves to hunt waterfowl should become a member. The IWA is a great way to give back and support, the sport we all love and live. If you would like to know more about the IWA please feel free to contact me on the forums or at outdoord @ cableone .net - Bryce Cook – Nampa 208-463-0580
My name is Bryce Cook, or "dukkhnter" on the IWA forums. I was born and raised in southern Idaho. I have lived all my life in the Treasure Valley area, except for college at UofI, go Vandals! I pretty much live for waterfowl season, but also spend a lot of time hunting big game, upland birds and fishing.
I think every Idaho waterfowler should be an IWA member. The IWA is an excellent way to interface with IDFG and to get involved with waterfowling in Idaho. My key point I would like to see the IWA work on is volunteer projects and cleanups. Feel free to contact me via the forums or at dukkhnter@hotmail.com.
All members are welcome at Board meetings. Times and location for meetings will be posted on the IWA site.
