Monitoring Improvements With Beaver Reintroduction
Idaho Fish and Game, in collaboration with NASA, Boise State University and Utah State University, are once again looking to the skies as they study beaver behavior and ecological conservation. This time, however, they're leaving the parachutes at the office. This NASA-supported effort is taking place in Idaho, utilizing digital technology to predict which streams can support beavers and how water and vegetation change once they return. Fish and Game's Furbearer Staff Biologist Cory Mosby has been one of the leading helping hands in this project and says the technology will help the department survey miles of waterways with more efficacy. The department's goal is to retain water and increase vegetation along these watersheds so that beavers and other wildlife and livestock will have more abundant food sources. Spring runoff, when the snow melts, can be the saving grace for both agricultural and wild lands. Without any natural barriers to help retain some of that water, the season's snowmelt is free to flow straight down rivers and back out to the ocean. Enter the beaver. In places where beavers build dams across streams and creeks, their work naturally disperses and retains water longer, thus supporting vegetation and creating better habitats for aquatic species and land animals alike. By utilizing NASA's remote sensing data, Mosby and other biologists can investigate which waterways need to be restored as well as monitor their progress after those restroation projects have been instituted.

It is the applicant's responsibility to see if they drew a controlled hunt place right here in Idaho. tag and to buy it by this deadline. All controlled hunt tags (except unlimited and January hunts) that are not purchased by the deadline will be forfeited and offered in the second drawing. Hunters who applied for controlled hunt tags for deer, elk, pronghorn, fall black bear and fall turkey can check their draw status through Fish and Game's licensing system — GoOutdoorsIdaho.com — if they already have an account. Those without an online license system account can get step-by-step instructions on the Controlled Hunt Results webpage. Hunters can also check their results and buy tags at Fish and Game offices, on the Idaho Fish and Game app, at any license vendors or by calling (800) 554-8685.
