Ep. 79 - Recreating on F&G Properties, Dialing In Your Firearm, and Sawtooth Sockeye

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 a ton of hunter and trapper ed classes coming up, a reminder if you're recreating on Fish and Game properties, the first sockeye salmon back to the Sawtooths, and why now is the perfect time to dust off that firearm or bow in preparation for the 2025 season. Hosted by Fish and Game’s Public Information Specialist Connor Jay Liess.
