This episode was directed by George Wasch. At 1:23, Don Hobart begins talking about how every week a boat leaves Lewiston, Idaho carrying mail and passengers up the Snake River. This boat supplies the ranchers inside of the canyon and is vital for the ranchers. The boat is the Idaho Queen II, a 48 -foot flat - bottomed boat powered by twin Diesels. She makes about fourteen miles an hour. At 2:39, Don Hobart has to take a plane up the Snake River as he, unfortunately, missed the boat. So, he flies seventy miles up the snake river to catch it. During this flight, he talks about the river and the canyon’s winter landscape. At 4:36, Don Hobart starts talking about the camp of Dick River’s which is seventy miles up the canyon at the Copper River. This camp is only accessible by boat and is equipped with supplies for the winter and summer residents there. At 5:52, Don Hobart starts talking about a guide on the river who was going to take some fishermen and goose hunters down the river to hunt. He shows the various tools the hunters are going to use to catch fish and shoot geese. At 7:22, Don begins talking about the Idaho Queen II, the diesel-powered boat used for traveling up the Snake River. At 10:18, Don begins talking about the tons of supplies that are being delivered to the residents along the river. These supplies include blocks of salt for the cattle and sheep, horse feed, sacks of grain, fence posts, and roofing. Mules will carry these supplies up to the main ranch from the river. At 12:26, Don talks about Hell’s Canyon and how treacherous it truly is. There are an immense amount of rocks hidden beneath the water that can be very dangerous to an amateur boater. At 14:34, the geese hunters bag some geese. At 15:24, you are able to see a nine-pound goose that was shot and killed by the hunters; only wild geese get to be this massive. At 15:40, we get to see a deer hunter at work, he carefully picks out the deer and then perfectly hits the deer which kills it. The deer is then brought back to the boat. At 17:37, the boat turns around. At 17:51, we see a man from the vanpool ranch board the boat so he can get to the hospital, his hands are frozen. At 18:16, you get to see a giant mule deer buck who found his wintering grounds up on the high cliffs. At 19:30, you get to witness some fishing done from a sandbar on the side of the river. The fish that is first caught is a steelhead trout, a rainbow trout that has gone out to sea. At 24:01, Don Hobart says goodbye and the show ends. Don Hobart was a pioneer in the adventure television industry, and “High and Wild,“ which originally aired on Portland’s KGW, was among the first outdoor shows to air anywhere. A decorated WWII fighter pilot, Hobart flew P-40s and P-51s with the Flying Tigers in China. A spirited outdoorsman who owned an archery shop in St. John, Oregon, Don Hobart could fish, hunt, hike, and climb with the best of them. The 52 episodes of “High and Wild“ took Hobart from the North Pole to Chile, with dozens of hunting and fishing adventures in between.
