Ep. 39 - Having Your Firearm’s Back, Drones, and Tracking Bighorns

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 why you should give your firearms a good post-season scrub down, how some of our fisheries folks are using drones to count Chinook redds, a sad wildlife crime story that happened in an Orofino elementary school parking lot, and tracking bighorns. Hosted by Fish and Game’s Public Information Specialist Connor Jay Liess.
