Gov. Butch Otter today named two new members to the Idaho Fish & Game Commission: Greg Cameron, a farmer from the Magic Valley; and Jerry Meyers, a retired longtime judge from North Fork, which is just north of Salmon. The two will replace Mark Doerr of Kimberly and Will Naillon of Challis, whom Otter didn’t reappoint when their terms ended.

The new appointees still face confirmation by the Idaho Senate.

“I’m grateful to Greg and Jerry and to all those who applied for these two positions,” Otter said in a statement. “We’re fortunate to have citizens with the civic virtue to step up and accept the challenge of developing public policy in such an important and sensitive field, and I’m confident that our unsurpassed wildlife resources are in good hands with these additions to the Fish & Game Commission.”

Cameron is an avid archer and member of the Minidoka Bowman Club and Idaho State Bowhunters; he grows sugar beets and barley near Rupert. Meyers, who has been an attorney, judge and mediator as well as an outfitter and big game, grew up on a cattle ranch; he’s a member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Idaho Houndsmen.

Idaho Fish & Game commissioners serve four-year terms and represent seven regions of the state.
