Podcasts about Central Idaho

Having returned from the mountains of Central Idaho, Sam sits down to spend some time reflecting on one of his most incredible, epic and intense hunting trips to date.  Invited to join friends Galen, Chris and Ben for the 2024 season, the crew took their horseback pack trip 25 miles into the backcountry searching for elk in untouched country.  Last week in episode 208 the four men shared the story with us from around the fire in Elk Camp.  This week Sam dives into greater details throughout the trip; talking specifics about the hunt and the experience, including the mental and physical challenges he was not entirely prepared for.  He also shares the story of their adventure getting off the mountain, and how the crew was awake for over 24 hours on the last day in an effort to overcome some risky challenges and make it home safely.  The Steep and Deep country is both beautiful and brutal.  Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Numzaan Safaris (https://www.numzaan.com)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/)Elite Archery (https://elitearchery.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

This episode takes us deep into the mountains of Central Idaho with show host Sam, and friends Galen, Chris and Ben.  Earlier in 2024 this crew packed in 25 miles on horseback for what would turn out to be an epic and extreme backcountry experience!  Challenged by difficult access and extreme terrain, this crew overcame many challenges during a week in the "steep and deep" country.  This podcast comes directly from Elk Camp, recorded around the fire on the last evening in the mountains.  The men reflect on the week, the highs and the lows, their appreciation for the pack animals, and above all the highlight of the trip when they called in a bull on day 5, playing him into archery range and the successful moments that followed!  This is an experience these men will never forget, and we are happy to have you all join them! Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Numzaan Safaris (https://www.numzaan.com)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/)Elite Archery (https://elitearchery.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

“If you're sizing up embarking on an epic roadie across the great American West, Idaho is the pitch-perfect launch-pad.”  “With a similar sized population to Christchurch, Boise beats to a leisurely tempo, flanked by golden hills and verdant forest, sliced by the Boise River. It's a picturesque setting and the compact, leafy city centre exudes good looks and an easy-going grace.”  “Hitting the road, I scooted across Idaho's central folds on a three-hour drive to Ketchum and Sun Valley. As the soaring Sawtooth Mountains shuffled into view, we passed through gorgeous tourist villages like Hailey and Bellevue.”  Read Mike's full article here.

Hello babies! Hope all you American babies had a lovely July 4th, and your dogs aren't too traumatized. Lisa and Emily both visited family, in the midwest and east coast respectively. It sounded like their trips were not unlike my kitchen cabinets (a bit too muggy). On Chunch Chat, Martha supplies us with a clapback that we hope to be able to use one day. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for "Beaver Drop," a program that involved moving 76 beavers by airplane and parachuting them to new areas in Central Idaho.

Our destination is the alpine lakes of Central Idaho, and our guest is John Heckel, Regional Fisheries Biologist for Idaho Fish and Game.  Idaho boasts the largest intact wilderness area in the lower 48.  And the Lost River drainage is home to dozens and dozens of remote and rugged alpine lakes chock full of hungry trout.  John is an avid outdoorsman who loves chasing trout, upland birds, and big game. He's fished nearly every lake in this area and gives us a mini-course on locating the best lakes, tips on fly fishing alpine lakes, and stories of close encounters with bears, llamas, and more.  If you're looking for rugged scenery, high catch rates, and a slice of heaven all to yourself, then listen in as we escape the crowds and the heat down low and venture into the wilderness with John.  With host, Steve Haigh Pictures of Alpine Lakes in the Lost River Basin: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook Contact John Heckel, Idaho Fish & Game john.heckel@idfg.idaho.gov   | 208-535-8004 Idaho Fish & Game Alpine Lakes website: https://idfg.idaho.gov/fish/alpine Big Lost River Trip Planner:  https://idfg.idaho.gov/ifwis/fishingplanner/water/1128381437946 Please check out our Sponsors: Angler's Coffee - elevating the coffee experience for the fly-fishing community & anglers everywhere with small-batch coffee delivered to your doorstep.  https://anglerscoffee.com/   | Facebook & Instagram @anglerscoffeeco    Trout Routes - the #1 Trout Fishing app, helping you find new trout water so you spend less time on the road and more time fishing.  https://troutinsights.com/ | Facebook @troutinsights Instagram @TroutRoutes  Destination Angler: The Destination Angler Website and Show Notes:   http://destinationangler.libsyn.com/ Get updates and pictures of destinations covered on each podcast: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook Join in the conversation with the @DestinationAnglerConnection group on Facebook.

This Hicks family was looking for some good luck. They couldn't get enough rights to water to keep their ranch running. Their foray into logging ended. Now they needed some good luck for mere survival. Yellow Jacket Mine in Central Idaho was ramping back up, so they loaded their wagon, hooked up the big team of horses, and headed out. Moving in the early 1900s was fraught with danger; survival was reliant on smarts, know-how, and luck. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/growing-up-in-idaho/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/growing-up-in-idaho/support

Thanks for listening to the Idaho Farm Bureau Podcast.  Today we're talking about the Idaho Drought, I'm Jake PutnamThe drought in the western US is worsening, with affected areas facing extreme conditions that have more than doubled in size.Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed that last year – the worst fire season on record – drought conditions reached "severe" status in parts of northern Idaho, central Oregon, Washington, Central Idaho, and Nevada, as well as northeast Utah and a swath of the Snake River Plain. And now 2021 is different, in that its worse…Central Idaho reservoirs are nearly dry:I visited the Camas Prairie and Farmer Tom Mosman who farms thousands of acres, and while the rolling hills look plush green, Mosman says they're way behind schedule:Three miles down the road I talked to Tom's nephew Ray Mosman who showed me his spring wheat field:Once again, it's all dry farming…Ray says they normally get about 22 inches of rain a year on the Camas…this year they've barely had rain, U of I Ag Economist Garth Taylor showed me a wheat field West of Moscow:

It was 1935 and young Harry was out of work. So, he did what a lot of other young men were doing; he joined the CCCs. The Civilian Conservation Corps was a place to earn money, learn new skills, and stay out of trouble. A lot of men between the ages of 18 and 25 were doing that in those dark days of the Great Depression. Listen in as he tells of his experiences in the CCC camps in Central Idaho. Narrated by Jeff Hicks.

In 1925, Harry was a young boy when his family visited the vast Camas Prairie in Central Idaho. He was able to taste watermelon for the first time and learn what it was like to travel in the back of an old Model T pickup.

Harry did what he could to survive as a young boy living in the rough-and-tumble Central Idaho in the early 1900s. Listen in as he talks about his adventures and scrapes with danger.

Robert L. Hicks and his wife Annie were sick of the aftermath of the Great Civil War and yearned to breath air nobody else was breathing. So, they loaded up their wagon and headed west. Despite all the tribulations, including gunfights, they settled in the Camas Prairie of Central Idaho. This is their story.

Since 1932, the Natural Resources Conservation Service has collected and published updates about snowpack, precipitation, reservoirs and streamflow in Idaho. This data in part helps the agriculture industry prepare for the coming months.

Bethany Denton has a long history of carsickness. Ever since she was a little girl, long car rides made her nauseous and gave her stomachaches. Once, when she was four years old, her carsickness was so bad that she made her dad take a detour to look for a cure at the grocery store.At the time, they were driving through Central Idaho, visiting all her dad's favorite places from childhood. They drove to Kooskia and Kamiah, two small neighboring towns where Bethany's dad lived for some time with his cousins. He used to love playing outside with his cousins, and hear stories about the land around them. One of his favorite places to go was The Heart of the Monster, a landmark that is sacred to the Nez Perce people. They also made the trip to the Denton family plot at the Pine Grove Cemetery in Kooskia, so that Bethany and her brother could visit their Grandpa Bill's grave. Bethany's grandpa was Bill Denton, a sportscaster for KREM-TV in Spokane. She never met him, he died years before she was born.Audio from the Heart of the Monster site courtesy of Nez Perce National Historical Park, used with permission.Producer: Bethany DentonEditor: Jeff EmtmanMusic: The Black Spot

With November 5 quickly approaching, South Central Idaho has several important issues that will be on the ballot on election day. From a Twin Falls jail bond measure, to the Blaine County school board elections and more, Boise State Public Radio reporter Rachel Cohen joins Idaho Matters to preview these elections.

A version of this segment originally aired on June 8, 2018.

Summer means time for fresh berries, from blackberries to strawberries and everything in between. Every August, the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Central Idaho holds its annual Raspberry Festival. In this episode of Edible Idaho, correspondent Guy Hand meets Sister Wilma, then 91, still working in the Monastery's raspberry patch.

A trail crossing some private land connecting a road to Redfish Lake and Stanley has been given the go-ahead by a federal judge. Landowner David Boren brought a lawsuit with his concerns about the proposed four-mile trail, saying that additional studies on the trail's environmental impact were needed. We talk to him about these possible impacts.

St. Luke's has partnered with the City of Donnelly to create a farmers market where vendors accept SNAP benefits, which aren't accepted from within 100 miles of the rural Central Idaho town.

Light pollution is the presence of artificial light in the night sky and as development has increased throughout the west, astronomers lament the lack clean, dark skies to observe the heavens. Fortunately, Idaho is home to some of the darkest skies in America and we talk about efforts to create a "dark sky reserve" with Stanley mayor Steve Botti and former Ketchum mayor Nina Jonas.

Jeff Hicks is a writer and podcaster. Join Jeff and I as we discuss growing up in Central Idaho, Jeff is writing a book series about that very subject. The first book "Quiet Desperation" is available now from Amazon under Jeff's pen name "Sam King" Jeff is an excellent story teller and I'm sure you will enjoy our discussion. Jeff also has a podcast titled "On the Air" a short form podcast that you can find on his website jeffhicks.biz 

Light pollution limits 80% of Americans from seeing the Milky Way at night. Light pollution disorients turtles trying to see the glare of the moonlight as an indicator of water. The blue/white colors we use in lights disrupt our production of melatonin and therefore our sleep cycle. But its not all bad news. In the face of the challenges caused by light pollution, a partnership between communities and public sectors arose to help designate Central Idaho as the nation’s first gold-tier dark sky reserve. Today’s show is a rebroadcasting of an Idaho Environmental Forum that was presented in December featuring Astronomer Matt Benjamin and Mayor of Stanley Steve Botti. Their biographies can be found below. January 17th is the next Idaho Environmental Forum – their annual Legislative Gala. For information on the gala and IEF

Researchers say 80 percent of North Americans live in areas where light pollution blots out the night sky. Central Idaho officials are proposing the first International Dark Sky Reserve in the United States. Anthony and Jeff discuss seeing stars, and whether it is worth curbing light pollution.
