Thanks for answering, and giving me some info to chew on.
One of the things that seems most intimidating is learning a new forest ecosystem. The forest here is really bare bones by comparison. I've got maybe 12 species of tree on my property, and that's because I'm fairly low elevation.

You're assuming I like conservatives any more than I like liberals.
Joined this forum today to ask a question about hunting and the relative behavior of eastern and western whitetails. Super happy to discover people find the need to virtue signal to strangers on here as much as every other...
Same story here, in elk country, at least. I have no idea how many cameras I saw this year, but it was dozens. Temps were high 80s through the first couple weeks of sept, so I couldn't get too far from my truck, ethically. Saw trucks blocking roads into drainages, people putting sweet corn out...

Hi all, I'm new here, but thought I might get some insights here
I've spent decades hunting the Idaho panhandle, and only the panhandle.
For the last 9 years, I've used a rifle once, preferring archery and muzzy. Mostly spot and stalk, elk, deer, and occasionally bear. (And one moose, which...
