What would you do? What would you do if you had to choose between only hunting for the rest of your life, or fishing, but you can't do the other ever again? Let's add more to it, what would you do if Idaho banned fishing and hunting altogether? It would create a dilemma for many in the state, as both fishing and hunting are a major part of life for many Idahoans. For some, it is their main source of meat, and for others, it is what keeps them calm and stress free in life. If you had to choose between hunting or fishing, or couldn't do either while in Idaho, what would you do?

Many Idahoans enjoy going hunting and fishing. It can be to help them escape the stress of work, their family, or life and get away. It can be to bond with their children and spend time with their friends. For many, it works as a source of food. Doing both is enjoyable for different reasons, but if you were forced to give up one and choose the other for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Idaho offers some of the best fishing spots in the country, as well as beautiful places to go. There are some great fish to be caught and plenty to eat in the area. As for hunting, there are elk, deer, moose, bears, and many animals you can hunt in Idaho, and between the fur and the meat, it would be tough to give up hunting. Both would be tough to give up, but if forced to choose, what would you do?

Odds are you hunt or fish, someone in your house does, or someone you know does. With how many people in Idaho enjoy it, imagine the backlash if the state at some point banned one or both activities. What would happen? Is it such a major part of life in Idaho, that residents would pack up and move? Would they continue to do it, and deal with the consequences such as fines, or perhaps jail time? Would it lead to a revolt, and a riot would follow on the steps at the capital? Luckily, this won't be happening anytime soon or ever, but if hunting and fishing were banned, what would you do?

Hunting and fishing are such a huge part of living in the Gem State, that it is hard to imagine not doing either one. Imagine your friends going fishing, and you aren't allowed to, or being unable to go on a hunting trip. Imagine waking up and finding out that as long as you live in Idaho, you can't do either ever again. If forced to give up hunting, fishing, or both, what would you do?
