Protecting Livestock from Predators
Idaho Fish & Game News Release One of the five management goals listed in the 2002 Idaho Wolf and Conservation Management Plan was to “minimize wolf-human conflicts by coordinating with USDA Wildlife Services to achieve prompt response to notifications of wolf depredation and prompt resolution of conflicts.” Fish and Game works closely with Wildlife Services to address depredations. Since 2005, Wildlife Services has removed 520 wolves in depredation control actions. Fish and Game also wants to make sure Idahoans understand state law also assures the right of individuals to protect their livestock and domestic animals from wolves (Idaho Code 361107 (c)). (c) Control and Depredation of Wolves. Wolves may be disposed of by livestock or domestic animal owners, their employees, agents and animal damage control personnel when the same are molesting or attacking livestock or domestic animals and it shall not be necessary to obtain any permit from the department. Wolves so taken shall be reported to the director within seventy-two (72) hours, with additional reasonable time allowed if access to the site where taken is limited. Wolves so taken shall remain the property of the state.
Livestock and domestic animal owners may take all nonlethal steps they deem necessary to protect their property. A permit must be obtained from the director to control wolves not molesting or attacking livestock or domestic animals. Control is also permitted by owners, their employees and agents pursuant to the Idaho department of fish and game harvest rules. For the purpose of this subsection (c),“molesting “ shall mean the actions of a wolf that are annoying, disturbing or persecuting, especially with hostile intent or injurious effect, or chasing, driving, flushing, worrying, following after or on the trail of, or stalking or lying in wait for, livestock or domestic animals. If you kill a wolf that is molesting or attacking domestic animals, suffer a depredation loss, or if you need a permit to control wolves that may molest or attack your livestock, you should contact your local Fish and Game regional office. Here’s a link with phone numbers and addresses to all seven regional offices: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/about/ offices/ On a case-by-case basis, Fish and Game may issue a kill permit to producers who have experienced chronic wolf depredations that remain unresolved. When a loss is reported to Fish and Game, a Wildlife Services agent will investigate and
together, we will implement an appropriate, targeted control action to remove the offending animals in a timely manner. You can also contact Wildlife Services directly toll free at 1866-487-3297. More information about wolves and wolf management in Idaho can be found on the Fish and Game website: http:// fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/ wildlife/wolves/ –––––––––

2039 Main Street ~ Gooding
Last week I was in Boise, Idaho - the capital city of Idaho which was hosting the Highway Winter Olympics. These are olympics which no one hopes they get caught. In other words, you don’t want your name announced or your picture displayed on the TV or in the newspaper (indeed a little different celebrity status). Many counties throughout Idaho participate. With weather conditions making it hard to reach Boise, many substations or satellite stations such as Twin Falls, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and Lewiston, held the Highway Winter Olympics in conjunction with Boise’s. With snow plows and sanding trucks everywhere, most of the Highway Winter Olympics were held outside downtown Boise. The Slalom, or the zig-zag, race or skiing between poles is a very common race of the Highway Winter Olympics. Here cars will go from side to side and do 360 turn arounds in the roadway. Points are taken away if you hit one of the telephone poles. Sometimes trees or fences are used as poles. The Slow-um race is quite opposite of the Slalom. In the Slowum big piles of snow are plowed in the middle of the roadway. Cars can’t get across the road making them travel sometimes miles to get to a destination. This makes for a Slow-um process to get to work. Sleds were what cars of the 1970’s were called because they were so big. Many events include small cars as sleds, simply because they are not heavy enough to be in control. The Luge, for instance, is a sled race where you are traveling downhill with your feet locked on the brakes. The Skeleton race is just the opposite where as your car is going down a hill backwards with no clear heading. The Mogul is the race where there is usually bumps upon your stopping. This usually occurs when a car goes completely out of control and is in the median. These events sometimes attract law enforcement vehicle lights as early disqualification. Snowboarding is surfing on snow. These events are cars that have missed their driveways or intersections because of the packed conditions of the snow with previous drivers. Cross Country Skiing is an event where motorist try to get as close as they can to a shopping mall door. In most cases they are three or four blocks from the door sliding in the parking lot. In the Downhill Ski the course is predetermined by the amount of cars piled in front of you. Ice Hockey is the event where motorists stop and discuss accident issues in the middle of the road with each other without referees. Curling is a new type of event for the Highway Olympian. It is where your fingers are curled around the steering wheel as tight as they can be. And, of course, Bob Sledding is a car out of control with two or four passengers. Jamaican Bob Sledding is still similar to a rubber raft (inner tube) on the foothill. Ada and Canyon Counties lead most the races with gold tickets and silver leaving their pockets. This is my Bronze “Cup of Tee” on the Highway Winter Olympics.

by Sharon Hart Strickland
It’s a pleasure to read and review a book written by a local author, and by local I mean an author who lives right here in Gooding Idaho. Sharon Hart Strickland’s fist novel (one of many, I hope) is a fun excursion into the whorehouse days of the wild west. If that seems like a conflict in terms, refer back the movie, “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” where the prostitutes all got along like sorority sisters, the drunken priest got sober with one try (our Walker Center would go bust without it’s repeat guests), and the mean ladies of town fought like alley cats but still could meet for a genteel tea time. That’s what I mean, it’s fun to read. I could almost hear the honkey-tonk piano and while there was no choreographed dancing whores, those happy ladies of the evening with hearts of gold dressed in their Saturday night best and strutted their stuff every Wednesday in downtown Pendleton.

Hunter, Bowhunter Education Instructors Needed
Idaho’s hunter education program is looking for new volunteer instructors to help ensure that the newest generation of hunters has a thorough understanding of safety, ethics and conservation. Learn more about the program and how to become a hunter education or a bowhunter education instructor by contacting your regional Fish and Game office today. Fish and Game often hosts orientation meetings where the instructor certification process is explained, as well as how to organize classes, select meeting sites, how to order supplies and register students. Participants will also learn how to use lesson plans and how to employ effective teaching techniques in the classroom and at the rifle range. In 2013, 12,997 students completed the state’s hunter and bowhunter education courses. The courses are offered throughout the state, on weekends and weekday evenings, and are taught by veteran hunters who volunteer their time.
