Fish and Game Names Hunter Ed Instructor of the Year

Dell Wuebbenhorst of the Magic Valley Region was selected as the "2009 State Instructor of the Year" by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game selection committee. Committee members said the final decision was difficult because all nominees were well qualified. The names of the other six nominees were placed into a drawing for a Henry ACU-Bolt, .22-caliber rifle with scope, donated by Henry Repeating Arms Company. The rifle was won by Todd Clary of the Panhandle Region. The other nominees were Gary Phillips of the Clearwater Region, Mark Pinney of the Southwest Region, Earl Baird of the Southeast Region, Roger Atwood of the Upper Snake Region and Ryan Hilton of the Salmon Region. All were regional instructors of the year for their respective regions. The selection committee was made up of five Fish and Game employee volunteers.
