The 2nd annual Tree Planting was a huge success! We planted 1,000 trees in just over 2 hours. Thank you Mark Hiddleston with Hiddleston Drill and Pump for purchasing the trees, your guidance and selection area for planting was amazing! Fall Creek Lodge was the perfect meeting place to begin our expedition plus after we planted the trees we returned where they provided all the hot dogs and s’mores our young volunteers could eat!

Since we were spread all over the hillside, volunteers if you would like to share any pictures feel free to do so!!

Thank you all for who supported our 4th annual Elmore County Sportsmen banquet including the Donors, Sponsors and attendees! We are going to have a post-banquet meeting this Wednesday April 29th at 6pm at the Hunter Education trailers. We pride ourselves in being a community organization and we would like your feedback both good and bad. Some of the topics up for discussion will be banquet start time, length of banquet, number of attendees. We want this banquet to be a family/kid event and know we need to make some changes to accommodate younger participants.

If you are are unable to attend the post-banquet meeting please feel free to private message us with feedback or call Simon at 208-590-8441.

We look forward to hearing from you.
