 Native
Idaho Trout are plentiful in Southeast Idaho!
Southeast Idaho is about space, lots of it. We haven't
encroached on the wildlife areas in the manner several other
states have. That means Idaho is paradise for hunting, fishing,
or simply observing the abundance of wildlife that share our
lands with us. All of Idaho's big game species except mountain
goats and wild sheep are found in Region Five. Photo by

By the way Eastern Hunters, when an Idaho buck is counted it's just one
side. So a four-point buck is a pretty big animal!
Big Game populations are deer, moose and elk. Idaho hunters are
also proficient at archery and you may want to investigate the
hunting seasons reserved to bow hunters.
 Game birds are plentiful. Vast open spaces support a
variety of game birds which prefer landing feeding, and dozens
of reservoirs, streams and rivers mean water fowl abound.
Especially worthy of note is the population of Canada goose.
Not only do these geese breed in high numbers in the area, the
region is located in the migratory flyway. These factors
combine to make Region Five one of the highest harvest areas for
the Great Basin Canada Goose population.
 Fishing
in the region is bountiful. That's a surprise to the casual observer.
If you stay on the Interstate highways you'll see very little of the abundance
of waters which make the area a Mecca for dedicated fishermen winter and summer.
Thirty one fishable reservoirs and many streams, creeks, and rivers are located
in the 110 mile length and 105 mile breadth of this travel region.
Seasons and catch limits vary widely in the region and licenses are required.
Short term and season non resident fishing and hunting licenses and official
information publications are available at sporting goods shops in each
community.
