Devil’s Corral: Past, Present & Future
Next Thursday, the Hagerman Valley Historical Society will host a special presentation at the Hagerman Senior Citizen Center on one of Idaho’s unique treasures - Devil’s Corral. Devil’s Corral is a geological area located on the north rim of the Snake River Canyon upstream from Shoshone Falls. It was created from lava flows and then carved by the Bonneville Flood. It was home to Native Americans who documented their presence with pictographs in cave dwellings. Its more recent history includes parts of the Oregon Trail, Chinese Miners, and interesting homesteading stories. The area is mostly public BLM land, but the scenic heart of this area contains 200 acres of undeveloped private land. Will this private land become another subdivision, or could it be preserved as a park and open space? Karl Ruprecht, president of Friends of Devil’s Corral, will discuss this areas colorful past as well as its possibilities for the future. Karl Ruprecht is the president of Friends of Devil’s Corral, a local group dedicated to preserving Devil’s Corral as a public open space. He spent much of his youth climbing, canoeing, and exploring in the Snake River Canyon and has a deep appreciation for the beauty of this area. Karl lives in Twin Falls and works as a physical therapist. He is married to his wife Jennifer and has two teenage sons. The Devil’s Corral presentation will be held Thursday, February 6, at 7:00 p.m.

watching the news on TV. I hardly ever watch the news because I dislike how our TV media presents the news. There is always a lot of speculation instead of facts. In fact, during the Iraq War our news people were leaking out plans before they happened. The news casting I saw a few night ago really angered me. The Idaho Fish & Game awarded a farmer 1.2 million dollars because elk ate his organic potatoes. Sure, a quick way to place some blame that was probably Mormon Crickets. When was the last time anyone saw elk out digging up potatoes?! The way I figure, it was about 1200 thousand 100 pound sacks of potatoes. The TV showed the feeding grounds of elk outside Mountain Home. From the pictures shown, it sure looked like foothills instead of farmland. At any rate, Fish & Game decided these elk had to be eliminated. They gathered up Fish & Game sharpshooters to kill 206 of the elk. To have that many trained sharpshooters is probably more officers than the whole state has. Then... the elk were shot at night. Any other person shooting game at night would be charged with poaching and lose all their hunting privileges. But, it is okay for the Fish & Game to do such a non-sportsman type of hunt (slaughter). Did they not want the general public to see what they were doing???

The elk killed were going to be taught a lesson and thus would not come back. Good point! Dead elk don’t usually come back! Where’s the use of fences and all the control methods the agency boasts of? The elk were dressed out and took to various food banks. Dressing out 200 plus elk is a long task itself. In order to keep this “hunt” a secret, was the job a job of only select cuts? Only the best parts of the elk? Some farmers receive depredation hunt tags to limit herds of wildlife on their property. These tags are given to friends or sold to area and nonarea hunters. Is Fish & Game making money on these animals? Not directly, but why do their helicopters herd them towards private landowners who may have tags and no desire to feed them even if allowed. Our wildlife is not for sale on an auction block. Nor are they to be slaughtered for fun. Our wildlife is some of what makes Idaho the state it is. This year’s harvest is one of the lowest ones we have had in years. When we had mega snow, animals starved to death with no assistance. Recently, in only a couple of instances, we have shot 500 elk as “depredation hunts.” But no worries, their numbers will grow over night. I think the people of Idaho really need to monitor and get a grip on our Fish & Game. Maybe the TV media as well. Our future isn’t for a 24 hour hunting spree but years to come. This is my “Cup of Blackened Tee.”
