Idaho Fish and Game To Hold Mule Deer Seminar in Pocatello

Have you ever wondered how Idaho Fish and Game estimates mule deer populations? Maybe you have questions about bonus point systems, or maybe you simply would like to learn more about one of the West's most iconic species. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is hosting a half-day Mule Deer Seminar in Pocatello on Saturday, April 2, at Idaho State University. The free seminar will be held at the Plant Sciences Lecture Hall, Room 114, and will run from 9:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., with a sign-in and meet-and-greet beginning at 8:30 a.m. Those who attend this seminar will learn about mule deer biology and ecology in a presentation by Terry Bowyer, Ph.D., from Idaho State University. Dr. Bowyer is a highly respected expert on mule deer, an avid hunter and angler, and a professional member of the Boone and Crockett Club. Idaho Fish and Game personnel will also be on hand to present information on the methods for conducting population surveys and monitoring, the ins-and-outs of bonus point systems and 4-point rules, and other management strategies. The Mule Deer Seminar will be a mix of presentations and informal poster breakout sessions. There will be plenty of opportunities for the public to ask questions and share ideas.
