    Calling in elk without a tag - wild game harassment or fun?

    What portable heater for a 10x10 Kodiak Canvas

    Have you ever tested the meter with a barbecue or something that should set it off?

    Do you carry another tag also?

    I'm even further in this direction. Last year I was following elk tracks opening morning, probably 3 hours behind this elk. Stop to look around, bear stumbles out of the bushes 100 yards away. Bear in hand beats an elk in the bush! Only cost about 1 total day, the second half of that day...

    Most Comfortable Vehicle for Forest Roads

    33x10.5, probably right: way too much. I think I aired them up for a big highway trip in the Spring, left them there for daily driving and completely forgot to think about airing them down.

    Most Comfortable Vehicle for Forest Roads

    Not this thing. Gonna start a Go-fund-me for Dad and I to get new kidneys after a trip up the mountain.

    Which one of you Idahoans messed around with the pelican?

    What unit was this in? Not looking for anyone's honey-holes, just want to put some pelican in the freezer and show my kid a good time.

    Bear dies in car

    "One tip to help prevent a tragedy like this is to leave something important in the backseat with your baby bear, such as your phone or purse."

    How did we get here?

    I was trying to learn more about binoculars last Spring and all of my Google searches kept leading me here.

    My Puppy Ate My Caribou Skull

    Got a cougar a few years ago, my first big game animal. A few weeks after I boiled the skull (another funny story) I was pulling into the driveway after work. I saw some white or pink jagged thing on the ground and didn't think a lot of it. Probably a chewed up Frisbee that the dogs leave...

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Suppressors

    The wait time and $200 of the paperwork makes people look at silencers as a "last a lifetime" purchase. For a muzzle device to withstand a lifetime of the gas blasting that they get, exotic and hard materials are needed. The materials themselves are expensive and machining them is really...

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Suppressors

    This year is going to go by, and at the end of it you can either be a year older, or you can be a year older and have a silencer. There are three distinct silencer groups to cover everything: Centerfire rifle, centerfire pistol, and rimfire. Overbore is fine, .45 can works for 9mm, .308 can...

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    Because assuming "I got this" is more comfortable than the risk of knowing "I don't got this"

    Motorcycle Recomendations

    If you have a whole week ahead of time, wear all the gear when scouting/riding, and try to figure out which trails you can get away with less on. I would not want to ride an Idaho trail for the first time with hiking boots and a bow hanging off my backpack. If my bike didn't have a keyed...

    Idaho Unit 43 & Dirt Bikes

    I'm a dirt biker who also hunts and have ridden that area a few times, usually in summer. We accidentally picked archery opening weekend to ride one year. Campgrounds and dispersed sites between featherville and big smoky were all insanely crowded, but we didn't see anybody else on the trails...

    Porro Prism obsolete?

    Me 😁 In April I got some Polish Cold War binos for the heck of it, started learning about Porros and roofs, then found this place and turned into a binocular crackhead! Spent the last trip bouncing between Steiner 8x30 Mil/Marines and Swaro 10x40 Habichts depending on where I was walking.

    Porro Prism obsolete?

    The binocular market has chosen form over function and voted with their wallet that porros are obsolete. But they have some advantages:
