Mine is showing elk and pronghorn complete, deer still pending

State representatives serve at the pleasure of the voters. When they do stuff we don't like, we vote against them and they lose their job. Republicans have a 28-7 majority in the Idaho Senate and 58-12 in the Idaho House of Representatives. The GOP has been in charge of the house and senate...

That is exactly the problem I'm talking about. When people dismiss the "other side" as lunatics, is does a disservice to us all. There are lots of good democrats in the world and lots of good republicans. We are all Americans and our ability to disagree without being disagreeable is foundational...

My fall calendar is just sitting there, waiting... I need to know what tags the kids drew!

Here in Idaho, it was republican legislators who wanted to sell public land, republican legislators who screwed up the trespass laws for the benefit of the Wilks Brothers, etc, etc, etc. Simply electing republicans does not make good policy for hunters and anglers. We sportsmen need to do a...

Fish and Game taking uncommon action to trap and translocate elk responsible for costly and repeated crop damage link to Idaho State Journal story anyone know anything about this? This is the quote that I found strange... "Up to 70 cows and calves will be trapped and transported to central...

This is the fault of the legislature, not IDFG. Don't forget, it's the legislature who dictates how depredation funding works and what sportsmen pay. And the legislature is mostly made up of farmers and ranchers. If we want to fix this problem, we have to stop voting ranchers into office just...

It's already through house Ag committee (passed about 1:20 Wednesday,) headed to house floor.

It was amended in the senate, they pushed the readings and voted on it in the senate this morning (Wednesday.) It passed 29-6. It does go back to Ag committee, but don't forget, the ag committee passed 536, which was even worse. They don't have to hear testimony, so they won't. The house...

You're a good man BackcountryRick and not everyone is. I left a 20 gauge O/U leaning against a fence in a parking lot down towards Malad a few years back. Raced back down when I realized I'd forgotten it, but it was too late. Someone had picked it up. Never got it back despite calling...

658 passed the senate, time to call the Governor and ask him nicely to stand up for Idaho sportsmen. 208-334-2100

They amended it this morning, but didn't fix it. The senate seems like they are going to pass it, probably tomorrow or as soon as this afternoon, despite the strong objections of a large number of Idaho hunters and anglers.

It's still in amending order, likely to come up tomorrow (Tuesday.) Word is that some senators are trying to stop it because of sportsmen opposition, but it definitely still has a chance. Hopefully, they will adjourn soon and put an end to this nonsense bill. If your rep voted the right way...

Awesome work folks. It's cool to see Idaho sportsmen standing tall. It sounds like they are going to debate and vote on it tomorrow on the senate floor. They may try and "fix it." If you haven't called your senator, make the call tomorrow morning.
