Auction yields $17K to benefit Idaho wildlife program

The Idaho Fish and Wildlife Foundation reined in several dozen bidders with an online auction advertising everything from fly fishing trips to a three-night stay at a ranch in the Idaho backcountry.

The foundation, which was created in 1990 to raise money for state Department of Fish and Game projects, brought in nearly $17,000 during in last month’s auction.

The money will go toward the department’s Watchable Wildlife Program, which works to promote appreciation for the Idaho outdoors through observation, photography and other methods.  (AP)
