âWomen Who Huntâ on Outdoor Idaho
Itâs the taste for meat and a thirst for adventure that drives hunters to dedicate early mornings and dusky evenings to the pursuit of an animal. From elk to pheasant, deer to chukar, hunting is in the genetic makeup of Idaho, both historically and culturally.
The Outdoor Idaho crew hikes along a snowy ridge, scrambles across rocks, and learns how to train bird dogs and track animals as they follow along on the journey of Idaho’s Women Who Hunt. The show airs Thursday, May 13, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 16, at 7 p.m. Viewers can stream the program for free beginning Thursday, May 6, through the PBS Video app on their favorite device or online at video.idahoptv.org.

Last month, Idaho Public Television debuted perhaps its most ambitious episode of
Outdoor Idaho ever. In it producers trek alongside a dozen different mountain climbers, some still in elementary school, who have taken on the challene of scaling a mountain of a least 12,000 feet.
There are 123 mountain peaks in Idaho that are more than 11,000 feet. Just nine others reach the 12,000 foot mark. They’re known as the 12ers, and more and more people are headed for the top of each.
