    Idaho Resident OTC Archery Sales question

    Yup, not the intent of this tread. Sorry OP. I sound like a bot?! Why do you say that? Because my opinion differs from yours? I am not interested in engaging in your name calling or defensive commentary. However, if you're even remotely interested in getting factual answers to your...

    Idaho Resident OTC Archery Sales question

    It's not an initiative or an article. It is a species management plan, and is always "on the table". It's updated every few years, same with any other species IDFG oversees, including SWAP/T&E/non-game. These are always posted on their website, and there is always at least one opportunity...

    Idaho Resident OTC Archery Sales question

    I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I am jumping on the "squeaky wheel train" I just read another hunter on here standing up for hunters blaming IDFG. I am a hunter to my core; it's honestly the thing I am the absolute most proud of. I can promise you, my entire life is about hunting. I have...

    What is your favorite hunting dog and why ?

    *********** BLUE LACY!!! ************** They're a relatively "new" breed, but their popularity is growing due to their phenomenal versatility. Look 'em up. They're gorgeous dogs! We use our dogs to recover anything that bleeds. We also used them to work cattle. Be careful though, they will kill...

    Is Cabela’s played out?

    Yep - same here. Bought some Cabelas Meindls specifically due to their warranty. Had an issue with them following my first hunt with them - tried to return them. And nope. Found out they aren’t honoring the Cabela’s warranty anymore since BPS bought them. Won’t buy their brands anymore! And no...

    Hunting Packs.

    I suggest Mystery Ranch - my family runs the Metcalf, and we all love it. Our hunting partners have the Selway. If you're in ND, check out Scheels. My buddy just bought a Metcalf for like $350 there. These other packs are nice (EXO, Stone Glacier, etc.) but are much more expensive.

    Beginner elk hunter

    Definitely recommend the Elk101/University of Elk Hunting. There are discount codes floating around, but still pricey. I recommend going with at least one buddy, and convince them to split the course cost with ya. Get in shape and start practicing your calls. As others mentioned, boots are...

    Idaho Grizzlies?

    There were a couple reports of em in the Clearwater this year but they were likely passing through. I agree with previous advice on here: carry spray, be aware of your food etc, and just carry on like they’re around (although relatively unlikely in the majority of the state). Sent from my...

    What to do

    Idaho bear baiters

    Yes - no game fish (salmon, bass, etc.) you’d have to know what kind of fish used in your buddy’s stuff. But if you can’t prove species, I wouldn’t chance it. Not worth it. Sounds like you’ve got a good bait system without it. You can buy up to 3 bait tags with your hunting license. But yes...

    Hauling meat on mules

    I even save the blood when I thaw out a small roast and meat scraps. You can tell which is the "duck to water" who just wants treats. I've gotta keep her from sticking her nose right in the blood :D. Alternatively, you can see which one I need to work with more...

    Hauling meat on mules

    Yes - lots of stories and conflicting opinions. So take mine as just that - another opinion. I work on my stock most of the year. I save blood from my meat, soak it in old cotton towels or cut up game bags and tie it around the feeder so they have to smell it to get hay. I leave the old...
