Idaho Watchable Wildlife

Idaho Watchable Wildlife The Idaho Watchable Wildlife Program is a part of Idaho Department of Fish and Game's nongame program, but is guided by the Idaho Watchable Wildlife Committee (see the bottom right corner for committee members).

"Watching wildlife" is not limited to nongame animals. Watchable Wildlife refers to any activity where people are enjoying, but not consuming (hunting-fishing, trapping etc.) wildlife. The following are examples of Watchable Wildlife activities and are promoted by the program:

Bird watching
Photography of animals, plants, landscapes
Wildflower walks
Plant/mushroom identification
Watching salmon or other fish
Viewing deer, pronghorn antelope, or any other game animal

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game works cooperatively with other state and federal agencies and organizations to bring Watchable Wildlife opportunities to you!
