“We don't want Idaho to have a bad reputation. This is our home state. We love our home state. It's beautiful. We pride ourselves on our nature. We pride ourselves on our wildlife. And instead, we are continuing to do things that are… that are sickening.” - Ella Driever In 1995, wolves were reintroduced to central Idaho, and in 2003 a Boise High school called Timberline officially adopted a local wolf pack. Throughout the 2000, students went on wolf tracking trips and in their wolf packs range. But in 2021, Idaho's legislature passed Senate Bill 1211, 1211 allows Idaho hunters to obtain an unlimited number of wolf tags, and it also allows Idaho's Department of Fish and Game to use taxpayer dollars to pay private contractors to kill wolves. That means bounties on wolves, including on public lands. And in 2021, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission expanded the wolf hunting season and hunting and trapping methods.

This is the very first 12 Seconds Ahead podcast. It recalls the accident outlined in the recent post Reflecting on Risk . Like the blog, this is just another outlet for contemplating the experience of being a motorcyclist. I've got a library of music I've written and recorded and will use it to score each episode. I'm new to this and am only planning to create a podcast when the content merits one. Since I'm not pressured to create one on a schedule, I'll endeavor to make each one worth your time. Let me know what you think. This is a weirdly vulnerable thing to do, offering your voice to strangers. We'll see how this experiment goes. Podcasting is an easy thing to do... but it's a hard thing to do well. I see the learning curve looming up ahead.
