Archery Idaho panhandle

I will say that after all the hiking we did and the sign we found archery was probably a better option than rifle

Also, getting in shape cant be stressed enough. If youre gassed the whole time youre out there youre going to have a bad time. I was doing 40 minutes on a stair stepper with a weighted pack on for months before my archery elk hunt last year and the difference between me and some of my buddies...

+1 for born and raised outdoors. Being new to hunting I had never even seen an elk before until I got out there. It was a great way for me to visualize and prepare for a possible scenario. Learning from those who have more experience that you will cut years of learning time. I'm lucky that...

How do you spend your time between morning/night hunts?

The idea of napping the afternoon away sounds great except its cold as all hell where we hunt lol. It never got above freezing the whole time this year. But im defniitely bringing my fishing gear this time around. I think slow hunting with a cow call is definitely in my future.

How do you spend your time between morning/night hunts?

I have my spots that i prefer to be at in the morning and at night. My big fear is that if i hunt through those spots I could potentially be hurting my chances during those times when they are coming out/going back into the timber. Does that make sense? Hunt a different spot?

How do you spend your time between morning/night hunts?

I'm a newer elk hunter and was wondering what I could do during the midday that would be most beneficial for killing an elk. The group that got me into hunting spends their midday hanging out back at camp. I tried still hunting through the woods but was not sure if the elk are just bedded...
