    Raised Traditional Podcast: Bear Conservation & Baiting

    Podcast Description for "Raised Traditional" Welcome to "Raised Traditional," the podcast dedicated to embracing traditional living, connecting with nature, and empowering women to confidently explore the outdoors. Join us as we dive into topics like hunting, foraging, and cooking with fresh, local ingredients—all while teaching our children to appreciate these timeless practices. In this episode, we’re focusing on bear hunting regulations in Idaho. Did you know that North Idaho is home to around 80 to 100 grizzly bears and approximately 20,000 to 30,000 black bears? As one of only four states in the lower 48 where grizzly bears thrive, Idaho plays a unique role in bear conservation. We’ll discuss the new bear identification course required for hunters starting January 2025, ensuring we all know how to differentiate between grizzly and black bears before heading into the field. I’ll share my thoughts on the importance of bear baiting, why it’s meaningful to me, and how it contributes to conservation efforts. Additionally, I’ve included links to my YouTube videos where you can see how we set up our bear bait, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the process! Whether you’re an experienced hunter or just starting your outdoor journey, this episode aims to inspire and empower all women to actively engage in conservation and embrace traditional living.
