    If they want to walk in 6 miles plus and hunt steep terrain then I am fine with that. Plus, huge unit with only 40 tags. Information I provided is same info fish and game provided to me so free info to all.

    Antelope spot and stalk archery tips and tricks

    Have wanted to hunt Antelope but once again I was unsuccessful for the idaho draw. Read a lot and seen a lot of videos and i believe that is animal you can pursue all day as they seem to move a lot. Depending on the weather you may sit a water hole all day. I do know don't chase em as you...

    Idaho Unit 67 for 2020

    I too live in North Idaho and we have some dandy mule bucks but that is due to draw only and very few tags to draw from. I don't know anything about the swan valley area but if you do a little research, maybe ONX and share your thoughts with a F&G biologist in the Upper Snake Field office they...

    Idaho Unit 50 or 36 A Elk

    About the ATV thing i have read that before on other sites also. Upset a lot of hunters because those rules are not being enforced. I won't be one of them cuz i don't have an atv. Just me, my baja jayco and my ol Wal-Mart mountain bike. Lol. Guess we will just see what the weather is like...

    Idaho Unit 50 or 36 A Elk

    Yeah that makes sense too. Maybe i should not totally eliminate 49 from my sites. Maybe East of Hailey but haven't really read much about it. Maybe that is a good thing for those who hunt it. Lol

    Idaho Unit 50 or 36 A Elk

    LOL. I guess i have to look at it as glass half full right. The elk are there but so are the people. Do you have any thoughts on 50? I put in for the 36A2 bull rifle starting 10/1 but if not drawn i may be bouncing between 36A and 50 for archery OTC. I have a lot of waypoints marked on ONX...

    Thank you so much for the heads up. I put in for the antler hunt 10\1 so we will see. If not drawn still think will do the archery OTC. Just looking for a shot at finding them. Very encouraging to hear the elk are there. Now just got to find em. Thanks again for the info.

    Idaho Unit 50 or 36 A Elk
