REBOUNDING A WETLAND

The Boundary Smith Creek WMA is a beautiful place for the whole family.

Since the early 1900’s this place looked much different. Nothing you’d want to tell anyone about anyway. That was then, this is now and thanks to a bunch of people and organizations this place was brought back to how Mother Nature intended it. And that’s why you’ll love this beautiful Idaho wildlife playground.

THE LEGACY

This story was brought to me by Steve, a retired big game wildlife biologist when he asked me to record a moose hunt.

Not really my kind of story to document. I mean, there has to be a million hunting videos out there.

But then I started looking into the two friends Steve needed for this… and what I found was something completely different.

I also discovered the real reason Steve wanted this hunt documented.

And it had nothing to do with a moose hunt.

Let’s just say, a vow he made decades earlier had to be honored and the more I learned, the more I realized these aren’t ordinary guys and I had to share this story.

THE TRANSLOCATION

Imagine you have a cattle ranch in Idaho set right in the foothills of mountains. With so much grass you can cut it to feed cattle throughout the winter. Where every spring and fall a herd of elk migrates right through your ranch.

Such a beautiful sight to see. Oh, and it makes it super easy to get one during hunting season too if you desire.

But what happens when the herd of elk discovers that grass is here in the winter too? What happens when the elk realize that grass is literally here… always? Well in that case, there’s no reason to leave… EVER!
