Ep. 40 - Mountain Whitefishing, Boat Safety, and Why Trapping Matters

Welcome to Idaho Fish and Game’s Hook and Bulletin podcast—your weekly news roundup of hunting, fishing, trapping, and conservation stories from around the Gem State.

This week on the Hook and Bulletin, we’ll be talking about when and why Fish and Game feeds wintering deer and elk, how to not rock the boat during winter fishing and waterfowl hunting, the importance of trapping, and how you can take advantage of an often-overlooked mountain fishing opportunity this winter. Hosted by Fish and Game’s Public Information Specialist Connor Jay Liess.
