Idaho: Fish and Game Feeding About 20,000 Big Game Animals This Winter

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

 Southern New England is having another record warm winter with little snow fall but others parts of our great country it is the opposite weather pattern. Pittman Robertson Act and Sportsmen Restorartion Fund, Thank You , Sportsmen and Sportswoman for your purchases of Guns ,Ammo , Licenses and Stamps and Fishing Equipment to fund our Country's State Dem's to finance the biologists to safeguard our Fish and Wildlife.
 The Outdoor Scene e-mail hot line has received NO winter fish kills in the tri-state region as of Feb. 1, 2017 In the mild winter of 2016 we received only 7 winter ice fish kills reports. 3 for schoolie stripers getting caught in low water and 4 for manmade earthen dam ponds with low water levels.
  Wild Turkey and Whitetail Deer should have a better chance of making though the winter again in southern New England.


It's the largest operation of its kind in about 20 years in southern Idaho.

This winter's cold temperatures and deep snow at low elevations has prompted Idaho Fish and Game to implement emergency big game feeding at nearly 110 locations across southern and eastern Idaho. Winter conditions in the Panhandle, Clearwater and Salmon areas are closer to normal so emergency feeding is not necessary there, but animals and weather conditions continue to be monitored to see if more feeding is needed.

We keep a eye on the remaining wild buffalo and elk also.
