    Idaho late hunt!

    My favorite hunt of the year. Late archery 39. And I even prefer elk personally, but I think you can't beat this hunt. I haven't hunted deer in other states, but I haven't heard of an OTC hunt where you can be putting stalks on 170+ mule deer day in and day out, with a tag you can buy from Wal...

    I-phone GPS apps recommendation and questions

    Your phone battery is shot. I use my iphone 6 for exactly everything that you do and I'll get an honest 5 days out of it. My first trip out with that new phone I packed the charger cord and one of those charger packs, but I didn't need it. Not even close. Just gotta make sure it's either in my...

    Idaho hunt dates ?

    How long have you been elk hunting? I wouldn't throw in the towel yet, we hunt about 10 miles from THE original original wolf release site (what started all this mess) in the Sawtooths. And we still usually luck into a draw once or twice in September when they are bugling, with a hot cow. If...

    No rut activity yet in Idaho pioneer unit? Or did I miss it?

    You should have called, and called a lot. Go back if you can. I hunt 51 next to you in the late season, we see very very few mule deer in the Lost River and Lemhi ranges. Completely dominated by elk. Silent setups work, if you can get within ear shot of those bedded bulls, a set of cow calls...

    Idaho hunt dates ?

    Really hard to say these days, wish it was more consistent. Last year was my first time in the Pioneer Zone. 6 total days of scouting/goat hunting. They were bugling late. Just screaming Sept 25th ish - Oct 4th when we headed out. A report via the tag holder that was in there scouting all of...

    Rookie archery guy here, so the kitchen drawer spin test was beneficial for me.

    Who owns and uses pack LLamas

    This is true ^^ :) Built in compass and a knack for untying knots. They are very manageable though, and if shit happens (lose one, breaks it's leg, won't pack) your only out a couple hundred tops, I've seen them pop up for $50 or even free on craigslist once in a while.

    Who owns and uses pack LLamas

    Here are a few links, I post on that forum more often. The goats are cool, they are very agile and go anywhere that you can. People will tell you they can pack 60 pounds, but it's not ideal. I was also under the impression they would only need water every 2-3 days, which isn't really the case...

    Who owns and uses pack LLamas

    I picked up 3 pack goats in July. This is our first season using any kind of pack animal, it's been fun. Llamas intrigue me just because they can carry a little bit more, but I'm curious if the extra weight capacity is worth the decreased mobility compared to my goats.

    Cut some interesting footprints on my hike this morning

    I'm a skeptic for sure, but man Les is a beast and if I were to believe anyone it would be him. But I just don't know. You guys need to watch the Joe Rogan podcast that he did with Les. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTV17MjN3qg

    Planning DIY Elk hunt in Idaho for back up next year and need help...

    Yeah but the archery season in Idaho is 4 full weeks and most of the rifle seasons are 3 full weeks. Thins the hunters out immensely and it's easy to find areas close to the road with zero boot tracks, and even plenty of huntable elk. Once you hunt the same area for a few years and find a decent...

    OTC Mule Deer Hunt...Where?

    Idaho, smoky mountain zone. PLENTY of public land, easy to find places with lots of deer where you will not see another hunter. Whatever state, unit or area you decide to hunt, just keep hunting it every year if possible. IMO the most important thing is to learn one area extremely well, and you...
