NEWS Deer Hunting Continues Thru November and December
By Roger Phillips, Public Information Supervisor
For many Idaho hunters “deer season” is seen as two or three weeks in October during the general, any-weapon season, particularly if they’re targeting mule deer in central or south Idaho. But there are many other opportunities available for those who haven’t notched a tag and want to keep deer hunting. Pull out your dog-eared and tattered copy of the 2020 Idaho Big Game Seasons and Rules, or see it online, and check out the seasons you’ve skimmed or overlooked in the past because you still have plenty of places to continue deer hunting. In fact, there are so many opportunities it would be difficult to list them all, but here are some hunts worthy of your attention: Whitetail Hunts: But wait, you might say, don’t I need a white-tailed deer tag for those? In some units for November hunts, yes. But in others, your regular deer tag is still valid, particularly hunts in the far-north Panhandle units. If you have a whitetail tag, there’s also a long list of hunts available in November and December. Archery Hunts: Look down the list of units offering general archery deer seasons and you will see archery hunts around the state that stretch into November and December. If you’re primarily a rifle hunter, make sure you get an archery permit, and you’re ready to go. Muzzleloader/short-range Weapons Hunts: These two are two different types of hunts, so make sure you know the rules for each. In short, you’re limited to muzzleloaders in those hunts, but you can also use muzzleloaders in short-range weapon hunts, along with archery, shotguns, handguns, crossbows and air rifles. Additional rules and requirements apply to each weapon type, so see page 100 of the Big Game Seasons and Rules for details.

Health Insurance Open Enrollment
The annual Open Enrollment period for health insurance in Idaho is now open. Beginning November 1st, Idahoans can shop, compare, and enroll in a plan through the state health insurance exchange, Your Health Idaho. Idahoans who want health insurance for the upcoming year must pick their plan by December 15th. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened health concerns across the country. It has also had a significant impact on the daily lives of Idahoans, some of whom have found themselves without employer-sponsored benefits for the first time. “We expect to see many newly eligible Idahoans seeking coverage through Your Health Idaho in 2021, whether it’s due to a loss of health insurance or a change in household income,” said Kelly. “That is why we are encouraging everyone to complete an application. It never hurts to look, and you may be surprised to find how affordable health insurance coverage can be.” Your Health Idaho is the only place where eligible Idahoans can receive a health insurance tax credit which acts like an instant discount, reducing the cost of monthly premiums. Tax credit eligibility is based on household size and income. For example, an individual making up to $51,040 a year, or a family of four earning up to $104,800 a year, could qualify for a tax credit. In 2020, more than 80 percent of Your Health Idaho customers received a tax credit, and one in three paid nothing for their coverage each month. This year, Idahoans will have a record number of health insurance plans to choose from, including plans from a new carrier to the exchange. Regence, which currently sells small group and individual plans off-exchange in Idaho, will offer medical coverage through Your Health Idaho for the first time. With the addition of Regence, Your Health Idaho now offers Idahoans access to health insurance plans from seven different carriers. For Idahoans who are unsure about how to enroll or determine if they qualify for a tax credit, Your Health Idaho recommends working with an insurance agent or broker. These experts are certified by Your Health Idaho and their services are available for free. A list of certified agents and brokers is available online at YourHealthIdaho.org/find-help.

Our World is Full of Amazing Creatures Bengal Tigers
Did you know that Bengal tigers are the largest cats in the wild? You don't want to get close to a Bengal tiger because they can weigh 309 pounds to 660 pounds! One punch from a Bengal tiger may kill you, so be careful in the wilderness. If you ever go to India, watch out! Bengal tigers are so heavy they can eat big prey. A Bengal tiger's favorite meal is a water buffalo, but they will also eat rabbits and deer. What is sad about Bengal tigers is that their cubs are born blind and half of them don't survive. Also, Bengal tigers are going extinct because their homes are getting destroyed. Without human interference, a Bengal tiger can live up to 25 years. Your normal cat at your house probably doesn't like water, but Bengal tigers love to swim. They are beautiful animals. I hope their homes stop getting destroyed because I love animals. by Brogan Bingham
All About Giraffes
Giraffes are the world's tallest mammal. Just their legs are taller than a human. Male giraffes are 18 feet tall on average and female giraffes are 15 feet tall on average. Not only are giraffes tall, but they can run fast. Giraffes can run 35 miles per hour. Because of their size, giraffes weigh up to 3,000 pounds. The giraffe's predators are lions, leopards, and hyenas. Giraffe's fur works like a chemical defence against predators. Giraffes aren't that dangerous to people. However, giraffes will defend themselves if threatened. If the giraffe kicks a lion in the face or the heart the lion will die. Giraffes have a strong sense of smell; if a predator is coming they can sense it. They live in the savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands. Giraffes are very gentle animals, but don't think about making a giraffe as a pet, they need lots of open space! by Nico Gonzalez

Michael LeRoy Packham
Michael LeRoy Packham, 76, of Kimberly, Idaho fought the good fight and was released from his pain Wednesday evening, October 21, 2020, of natural causes. Dad drew his last breath surrounded by his wife, Kathleen “Kathy”, his two daughters, Sheli and Cora, three sons, Shawn, Chad, and Kyle, as well as other loved ones. Dad was born April 26, 1944 in Wendell, Idaho to LeRoy and Glennis Packham. Having been raised on a farm in Fairfield, he was taught at a young age how to work hard and respect those around him. Experiences such as being chased by an ornery old rooster as he gathered eggs, to waking up in his attic bedroom at the height of winter with frost on his bed covers, all added to the strength of character which prepared him for the challenges he later faced in life. Being the oldest of seven children, his siblings (LaPriel, Valera, the twins Clark and Scott, Garth and last but not least, Joel) helped our father learn many lessons of how to care for, love, and forgive in a large family. Farm life on the Camas Prairie required faith, diligence, and sacrifice but there was also time to play. When the Arctic like winters would turn the soil as hard as stone, so to would the waters of the Mormon Reservoir solidify into a thick layer of ice. This allowed the restless youth to hold competitions, seeing who could get their cars to spin out of control the furthest across the surface! Dad’s parents were very giving people and that love for others was passed down to our father which in turn was passed down to us, his children, leaving behind a legacy of selfless service to others. This trait was magnified while he served a three-year mission, for his church, in Japan in the mid 60’s. Not long after returning home, Dad met our mother and our oldest sister. It was love at first wipe. Dad stole Mom’s heart when he knelt down to wipe the runny nose of her 2 yr old little girl. Dad and Mom were married on September 15, 1967. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on June 20, 1970. Who would have thought that a simple act of kindness would progress into a 53 year marriage, 6 children, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great grandchildren. Anyone who has been married though can testify that married life is not all blue skies. The thunderstorms and raging winds of life together were punctuated by the many rainbows that came through our parents’ love for each other which brought them through. Commitment is not just a word to our parents; it is at the heart of who they are. Our father loves our mother! It tore him up to have to go on ahead and leave her behind. We know that as our father took the next step in his journey, sorrow was tempered only as he stepped into the arms of his oldest son Mic, as well as his parents and grandparents who preceded him in death. As a family we want everyone who knew our father to know that he loved you as well! You touched his heart and helped to shape him into the man that he was. For that we, his children, say thank you! Graveside services were held on Tuesday, October 27, 2020, at the Twin Falls Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate to the Michael Packham Benefit Account at any First Federal. We are greatly appreciative of all donations. P.S. His death had NOTHING to do with COVID!! ;)

Dean Kenneth VanAmburg
Dean VanAmburg died in the embrace of his beloved October 19, 2020 of causes incident to age. He was born to Fred and Floy VanAmburg of Gooding, Idaho, and enjoyed his youth as an energetic farm boy. Dean graduated from Gooding High in 1948, and attended Henager School of Business in Salt Lake 1956/57. He was employed at Grand Central Stores 27 years and the Fred Meyer Credit Union an additional 14 years. He was the Treasurer of the Utah Chapter of PFLAG for 17 years. He cherished the 42 years he spent with his life partner and husband, Carl Boyer, with whom he shared the vintage car hobby. Dean was a master of the McGyver. He never met a problem he could not dissect, decipher, then divine remedy – if not outright improvement on the design – with whatever resources were at hand. His guiding words were “make do” and, when outflanking an observer’s negative prognostication, “just watch”. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service with interment in the Elmwood Cemetery in Gooding, Idaho. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Agnes Leidig Memorial Scholarship at the College of Southern Idaho Foundation. “I will love him, I will be constant, a faithful spouse and a faithful lover. Only for you will I sigh.”
