    Plans changed & would like to hunt elk this year

    Why not just hunt Colorado since it's close? Sure I think Montana or Wyoming would be better given that they limit nonresident tags but Idaho is a crazy free-for-all as well. Colorado has a few more elk and a few more people. I say pick a unit you like and just go for it without driving yourself...

    Idaho Resident Controlled Applications

    Yeah and you know what you're doing! If you could just draw your Idaho tags, you'd be sitting real pretty as well. But no, the guys who post on facebook for drainage suggestions after they draw and they haven't ever been to the unit are the ones that draw!

    Idaho Resident Controlled Applications

    Hey guys, if any Idaho residents want to chat about controlled applications and various units they are looking at that might fit the bill for their goals and desired hunt type, I'm open to chatting via PM. One interesting item as well is reasonable trophy goals for various units. I cringe when a...

    Idaho Elk Hunting

    Hahaha Selway. Just do your research and you'll see for yourself. The biologists are the best source of info, much better than the talking heads here, especially me.

    Yes, pretty and also mostly empty of life.

    Idaho Elk Hunting

    You can learn about Idaho elk populations from doing some research with bios and the fish and game website. In general, I think if you stay out of the Frank, Selway, Lolo that elk populations will be at least decent in most units. You can obviously look at hunter numbers as you have. Idaho isn’t...

    Tips on cooling meat when it’s hot

    If there’s stuff in the creek you don’t want, the meat can get ruined.

    Scounting Help

    Looks like there are some juniper or mahogany patches that the bucks could move into. Depending on tag numbers, remoteness, etc. there may or may not be insufficient cover. I have run into some areas that are fairly open that bucks are using in October because there just aren't that many guys in...

    Mystery Ranch 2020

    The Terraframe is rated for 150 pounds. That’s good enough for me. It’s a good value buy for sure.

    Prescriptive easement

    Major props that you analyzed and took the issue seriously. Many landowners think they own whatever is in their rough boundaries and don’t even know the legal standing of items like easements.

    2020 Elk Hunting suggestions with a 5/6K budget

    Ranch? Backcountry with horses? Trophy expectation?

    Idaho Motorized Hunting restrictions?

    There’s already multiple items above that are incorrect. Call and talk to fish and game. Be real nervous on a road that’s not labeled for full size vehicles. I know a guy who’s been popped for this.

    Idaho OTC Archery. Bannock or Pioneer?

    At this point I'd expect as many people in the Pioneer honestly, but both can be crowded. Elk densities in the Bannock would be the main barrier to me. The guys I know that hunt it have scouted a bunch and know of random little pockets that hold elk and how they evolve constantly evolve. I've...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Hi all, I got one measly rainy day to hunt this year because of work. I did see a gorgeous chocolate sow with cubs. I love bears. I've helped a couple new bear hunters this year and they've seen good numbers of bears. A tech glitch is preventing me from posting the picture--it says "file is...

    MR Selway vs Metcalf

    I like 3200 or so for up to 5 day trips. I have a Terraframe 50, very pleased.

    Judging a Black bear

    So cool! A potentially once in a lifetime type experience.

    Idaho 36A mule deer

    Yeah so the unit does have low deer densities. If you’re new to mule deer hunting you may or may not want to hunt with more deer on the hill. Join the forum conversations, do your research, and come back in awhile and revive the thread or PM the people who responded. I think you’re on the...
