Terry Thompson, of Idaho Fish and Game, talked about what it mean to be operating for 125 years, “It’s a pretty big deal to say you have been an agency in existence for 125 years. And the way we look at it we’re just getting started, we’re always striving to improve on our science but this the way we can talk to folks and let them know what we know about fish and wildlife but we also want to hear from them too.”

This celebration provided an opportunity to thank hunter, anglers, trappers, conservation and all the Idahoans for what they do for wildlife conservation in the state.
