In mid-November Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers had to extract a mule deer buck that had gotten trapped in an old water tank.

Despite only 44 adult sockeye salmon returning from the Pacific Ocean to Idaho's central mountain lakes, there are more than 2,000 of the fish available for spawning.

Seasonal closures have gone into effect at several specific areas on Idaho rivers to help spawning fish until Memorial Day weekend.

Conservation officers say a golden eagle was found shot last week in the Magic Valley and have asked for the public's help in finding the person responsible.

Three headless mule deer were found near the west Idaho community of Weiser around the Christmas holiday prompting wildlife officials to seek the public's help finding the people responsible for the poaching case.

A mountain lion that became too comfortable in a Wood River Valley community was removed by non-lethal force on Thursday.

A mountain lion was killed by a hunter after the big cat attacked a dog and ate half of it in Cascade during the weekend.

An Idaho conversation officer said four mule deer were shot sometime around the Christmas holiday and left to waste in eastern Idaho and have asked for help from the public.

One dog was killed and another attacked by mountain lions in the Wood River Valley during the weekend in separate incidents
