Southeast Region

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking information regarding the illegal killing of a mule deer doe with a pellet gun in Pocatello.

Fishing alpine lakes is a great reason to strap on a backpack and hit the trail. Deciding on a destination and logistics may seem daunting, so before you lace up your hiking boots, a little pre-trip planning is in order.

Grab your fishing pole, pack the cooler, and don’t forget your fishing license. Personnel from Idaho Fish and Game’s hatcheries in the Southeast Region will be releasing nearly 7,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout at the following locations during August. Fish on!

Come on out to the Southeast Idaho Hunting University on August 3 at the Pocatello Trap Club located at 1442 Fortress Road (near the Pocatello Airport).  From 10 AM to 4 PM, this free event will be filled with a variety of hunting-related activities, demonstrations, and presentations to help hunters of any experience level prepare for fall adventures.  Plus, two hunter education field days will be taught in conjunction with the event.  Who knew "summer school" could be so much fun?

On July 18, Idaho Department of Fish and Game personnel removed a young male mountain lion from a public park in the small community of Banida in Franklin County.   The mountain lion had been spooked out of some cover on an adjacent property by a landowner and his dog before it ran up a tree.  The healthy mountain lion was tranquilized by Fish and Game and then released in a remote location in southeast Idaho the same day.

Idaho has many mountain ranges, nearly all of which have lakes that contain fish. Idaho Fish and Game has long been committed to keeping those lakes stocked with fish for anglers. 

The Southeast Region of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game is hosting a brand new public event this year aimed at getting hunters ready for hunting season this fall.  Whether you are an experienced hunter or hitting the field for the first time, make tracks to the Southeast Idaho Hunting University on August 3 at the Pocatello Trap Club located at 1442 Fortress Road (near the Pocatello airport).  From 10 AM until 4 PM, this free event will be filled with a variety of hunting-related activities, demonstrations, and presentations to help hunters prepare for fall adventures!
