    Idaho Hunting Fees 2021 Non Resident (Big Elk Increase)

    The generations before and after this little mini boom of western hunting hunt their home states. I don’t think that not being able to instagram a picture of yourself hunting in WY wilderness will be the difference.

    Idaho Hunting Fees 2021 Non Resident (Big Elk Increase)

    You appear to not understand the state and federal interplay here. It's common here especially with guys who aren't from the west. States manage wildlife and set seasons and distribute tags. The feds forced wolf introduction but they are normally not in the animal game. They manage the land uses...

    Hunting Podcasts

    I was going to come back here and mention the Hunt Backcountry. I’ve only listened to a few episodes but I think it’s top notch. The moderators come across as mellow and down to earth and they don’t interrupt which just really easy to listen to and the content is high quality.

    Idaho Hunting Fees 2021 Non Resident (Big Elk Increase)

    A lot of years within the last 20 the nonresident cap didn’t sell out. Now with the influx of new residents and more nonresidents buying tags to the point the cap is selling out residents are feeling like there’s too many guys on the hill. Fish and Game rightfully prioritizes residents so it’s...

    Best "age" burns for deer.

    Burns can be productive from year 1 on for a decade plus. This may be a shocker to some as well but there are lots of units with great habitat and almost no burns. The instafamous talk about burns so much that you’ll find two legged company in most.

    Idaho Elk 20A

    The summer range for elk in there is 6500-8500 feet. They often don’t hardly move off summer range during the season and I’ve talked to two different bios who’ve observed bulls in the Frank in January at 8,000 feet.

    Yeah Frank roads are mostly all horrible. Flashbacks of sliding towards the cliff side.

    Leupold vs Sig rangefinder

    How are you at gambling? Sigs work about half the time. Much broader sample than just me.

    Pack that works as a daypack/scouting pack but also would work for 1-3 nights?

    MR Terraframe or another good company’s pack in around 3000 ci.

    Best 500 dollar binoculars

    Low light on the C1s is awesome. If you’re going to knock them, get with Savage and mention eye cups and field of view, neither of which are issues to me. I agree with your point that either would be more than needed to have great hunts.

    Best 500 dollar binoculars

    We have some battles here that are waged. My vote goes C1. Our dear (deer) friend @Newtosavage sleeps with his BX4 at night. Through out the Vortex option and make your selection. There isn’t a bad option and you should be content longterm unless you fall into the cult of Swaro, which can be...

    High quality boots or high quality pack?

    Find a good deal on both. For example, MR Terraframe on sale for $200 through REI is a killer deal for a new pack.

    First Solo Idaho Hunt

    Your buck looks nice, btw. Congrats on the harvest and good display. This is a mature good buck for Central Idaho wilderness and a taker for most guys that don’t have a ton of time or a serious honey hole.
