    Did I blow my spot?

    Took a friend who’s never shot a deer before out hunting waited for a good northwest wind took him up the river by canoe. Was paddling past deer on the way I knew the bedding area was going to have deer in it. No moonlight and suppose to be 15mph winds all day. Got in there early when I got to...

    Do you suffer from back pain after waking up?

    I recommend adding a “pso-rite” to the mobility routine if you have chronic lower back problems or tight hipflexers. Can work wonders on those hard to reach areas and loosen up muscles in your core and hips. Can also be used all over the body too. But your first few times the psoas is such a...

    Federal judge sides with hunters

    Landowners are just going to erect a 8 or 10 foot fence located at those corners to keep people from putting a ladder over. I hope they clear things us as far as what is “restricting access” and what is a boundary fence. It is not unreasonable to have a 8’ tall barbed wire fence surrounding your...

    How much higher wil a .270 shoot@12,000 feet????

    If your guide were to ask you “what is the furthest distance you are willing to take a shot at?” what would be your reply? If it’s 300yds and under I would zero your rifle 200yds at elevation and call it good. If your willing to shoot beyond 300 you can get the correct bullet coefficient of the...

    Most fun bird to hunt?

    Ruffed grouse. Heart gets racing when they come busting out behind cover and you got a second to acquire the target and get a shot off.

    Idaho 2023-2024 Seasons Proposals

    Or 100% draw odds for resident archery general tags but have to apply by April 1. Take that data how many people are hunting each unit and take 10% of that then have the non res draw june 1st for those 10% of tags. There are much better ways to go about it. Allocating non res tags over a 5...

    Turnkey cost poll for successful DIY elk hunters - All about the Benjamin's?

    The cost of a hunting trip whether sucessfull or unsuccessful (other heading back west later in the season a second time because my first trip I did not harvest) is the same. I can’t really think of any extra cost that come because you have harvested. If you hire someone to pack out for you or...

    Idaho Unit 4

    I would not hunt the later season there without having a set of tire chains, some straps, and a chainsaw if you are planning to get off the main roads with a truck. Maybe a come-along if you got the room for it.

Cattail...

    Did I blow my spot?

    I think there are a few factors that come into play that can dictate kinda how deer will react to human presence in that spot. What does the 5 or 10 square miles around that spot look like? Is it mostly timber, crop fields, low swampland, houseing development. As a new hunter you can kinda...

    If you could only give one piece of advice to a new elk hunter, what would it be?

    Hunt hard between 11am-3pm, it is just as good of a time to kill as first or last hour of light. If you meet somebody on the trail no matter how tired angry or frustrated you are always be nice and respectful you never know who you are talking to. If somebody asks for help you help them. If...

    In this situation what do you do

    But I will say this, over thinking is preparation, not execution. Don’t let your overthinking impair your execution. And Bruce.. haha that is a good one.
