The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is looking for some help in revising the state's Bighorn Sheep Management Plan.

No changes have been proposed yet, but wildlife managers are looking for hunters' opinions about possible changes that might be considered in application rules, season dates and weapon types, which may affect drawing odds, tag numbers and success rates.

An online poll is available on the Fish and Game Web site until November 1 under "Public Involvement" at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/. Results will be presented to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission at an upcoming meeting.

For further information, or to receive a paper copy of the questions, please call the Fish and Game's wildlife bureau at 208-334-2920.

Predator Hunting on the Manitoba Prairie
As a young lad growing up in any rural area can tell you, predators are a part of life, whether you like it or not. I was introduced to a form of predator control at an early age, my father always used to run a small trap line, nothing special, just a bunch of snares and a few foot traps set out on only the most popularly used predator trails. My old man was always on the lookout for a new spot to set up traps and was usually right on the money when he returned to see if his hunch was correct. His personal best was 8 coyotes and one red fox, which he managed to collect during a 2 - day period about 20 years ago, it seems the tradition is bred into our heritage. This is the story of how my brothers and I tied my dad's personal best.
