Boise, Idaho • A replacement has been named for a top Idaho wildlife official who resigned following outrage over a photo of him posing with a baboon family he killed during a hunting trip to Africa.
Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter on Thursday announced the appointment of Tim Murphy to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission.
The photo was taken during a hunting trip Fischer took in Namibia in September. It shows Fischer posing with baboons he killed with a bow and arrows.
Fischer shared that photo and others with friends when he returned from Africa.
