Members of the Southeast Region Winter Feeding Advisory Committee (WFAC) will meet on Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. to assist Idaho Fish and Game with the assessment of winter conditions and observations related to big game animals (movements, depredations, activity on roadways, body conditions, mortalities) in the Southeast Region.
The committee is made up of five local citizens from around the region (including Pocatello, Malad, Preston, Montpelier, and Soda Springs) whose input helps to inform Fish and Game’s winter-feeding decisions.
Committee members meet several times each winter as they monitor local weather, wildlife distribution, and landscape conditions. Committee members also serve as sounding boards for citizens in their communities and communicate with Fish and Game staff on a regular basis.
Members of the public are invited to attend the meeting in person or call in, but please note that meeting rules do not allow for the public to provide comment or ask questions during the meeting. However, the public is welcome to provide comments to and ask questions of the WFAC members and the Idaho Fish and Game anytime before a meeting convenes.
