Stevenautique, a suggestion here. After you have settled in a while, you might go to the Sportsman's Warehouse on Fairview Ave. in Meridian, and pick up copies of the Idaho F&G regulations for Big Game, Upland and Migratory game, and fishing. You'll be able to read them at will and discover how much hunting you can do if you wish. You can also find them at Cabela's on Franklin Ave., Boise.

While you're there, buy a copy of the Idaho Atlas and Gazetteer. It is a complete set of topo maps of the entire state.

Also, there is a marvelous television program on the local PBS station called Outdoor Idaho. Reruns play at different times in the afternoon, but always it's on Thursday night. It is an in depth, extremely well produced and filmed exploratory presentation of the entire state with the many varied kinds of topography, Idaho's history, etc. It's very interesting and informative.

Have a safe trip.
