The complexities of managing wildlife in Idaho

The Director of Idaho Fish and Game is no rookie when it comes to managing wild game In Idaho. With 35 years of experience, he's had a huge impact on big decisions and serving Idaho's hunters and anglers. 

I sit down with Ed Schriever for an interview in this episode. We discuss the following:

  1. His favorite elk meat preparation
  2. Capacities as Director
  3. Managing wildlife of 35 years
  4. IDFG breakdowns between commissioners and legislators
  5. Resident and non-resident hunting tags
  6. Wolves
  7. Elk depredations
  8. Mule deer and affects of winter
  9. Whitetail hunting
  10. And several other wildlife management topics

We also touch the subject of hunter misconceptions and social media shenanigans. We talk about how hunters can voice their opinions on varying topics of game management. 

Mr. Schriever does an excellent job at articulating the difficult positions of serving the public needs, especially for outdoorsman.
