Title: Idaho recreation trail through winter range
Post by: Cougeyes on June 24, 2020, 08:28:04 PM: Those that hunt Idaho or care about conserving winter range and migration corridors should submit your input on a proposed recreation trail in Idaho that will cut through mule deer and elk winter range.

Helplessness.

On a serious note....Thanks for letting us know.

And they ride till the snow forces them out. It’s sickening.

Idaho will do the same all for the mighty dollar.

Totally amazes me that the Wildlife winter range areas above Winthrop are covered by hikers and bikers in the middle of hunting season without one stitch of hunter orange and accompanied by free running dogs, they park in the handicapped hunter access lot
It’s an accident waiting to happen
Frustrating
