Presented By: Nick Fasciano –Executive Director | Idaho Wildlife Federation 

Elk hunting is woven into the fabric of Idaho's outdoor traditions, and public and private land have historically provided complementary habitat for our state's iconic wild elk herds. Recent decades have brought changes, with elk increasingly concentrated on private land during certain times of the year. This has led to frustrations on both sides, with public land hunters seeing fewer elk and private landowners suffering greater crop losses. 

Join Idaho Wildlife Federation Executive Director, Nick Fasciano, for a discussion of how hunters, landowners, and agencies can work together to address these wildlife stewardship challenges.

Being outdoors with friends and family creates some of the best memories life has to offer. While hunting and fishing, some simply document these moments with a few pics. Not these guys. They’re all about capturing those lifetime memories through the process of specimen preservation. 

Shaun and Kristie, owners of Pleasant Hill Taxidermy, lead us in an exhibition of the best process for preparing your freshly harvested animal prior to taking it to a taxidermist. Whether it’s a bird, fish, big game or small mammal, The Ryals have you covered. So, instead of framing that group photo, learn from the experts how to preserve your animal so you can remember that moment for a lifetime.
