Rex Rammell’s Plan For Idaho

Dr. Rex Rammell wants to be Governor of Idaho and he has a plan. I’ll guarantee you his plan is nothing you’ve ever heard before but don’t discount it either. It’s catching on in the Gem State.

Wolf Science: A Political Football

It started in 1987 when Ed Bangs, the Department of Interior and all the wolf-lover environmentalists sold their idea to the American people, specifically those in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, that 30 breeding pairs of wolves and 300 total wolves would be all that was needed to declare wolf recovery a success.

The Beginning Of The End

Fighting back against the criminal enterprise of wolf introduction.

Why Did F&G Support the 10J Rule and Then Refuse to Use It While Wolves Destroyed Game?

Reprinted with permission from the author.

By George Dovel

In 1995 when I asked one of the Idaho Fish and Game Commissioners why he supported wolf introduction he denied it. But when I then asked him why he allowed the IDFG Position Statement supporting wolf introduction to be published unchallenged before the wolves were released in Idaho, he said, “We were going to get wolves anyway and the 10J Nonessential Experimental introduction gave us more freedom to manage wolves that would impact our big game herds.”

The 10J Rule written in 1994 and in effect until amended slightly in 2003, provided that when a State or Tribe determined wolves were adversely impacting a game herd, all they had to do was ask the feds to capture and relocate those wolves. Yet neither Idaho nor Montana ever made such a request. Read the story »

Idaho F&G Director Warns F&G Commission Not to Show Controversial Wolf Documents to Public

Black Bear Blog Editor’s Comments: This article was republished with permission from the author, George Dovel of The Outdoorsman. What this editor finds disturbing about the information contained in this article is the brazen attempt to deliberately deceive the public by withholding information known to be fact within the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. If the information compiled in this report is accurate, actions by some could be perceived as criminal at worst. Citizens and sportsmen of Idaho need be concerned that if their fish and game department leaders operate this way, what else have they been restricted from knowing about wolf introduction?
However, author George Dovel in his final comments in this article, asks only that Idaho wildlife officials once and for all admit the facts about wolf introduction and move on in efforts to restore the “billion dollar wildlife resource”.

Update: The below article references and makes quotes taken from the February, 2010 Idaho Department of Fish and Game Commission meeting. The following is the audio recording of that meeting.

Bow Hunting Grand Slam 2007

by Mac Moad

The first week of October was finally here.  The first three days were spent in my favorite stand watching 3 raccoons in which I had named Larry, Curly, and Moe.  The mother raccoon was slightly bigger than the two younger ones, and seemed curious to every movement surrounding them.  The days here in eastern Oklahoma in October were still in the 80’s with mosquitoes buzzing everywhere.  I was wondering if it were still to hot to hunt and questioned myself again over and over.  Each day so far, I had hunted morning and evening with only a few does showing up.
