    Are albacore typically within striking distance of the northern Oregon coast in early September?

    Idaho Hunting

    Even if you killed a deer and an elk, you're likely going to be around 300 lbs. of meat in the freezer.

    Soft-sided coolers - recommendations

    You can't go wrong with a Yeti Hopper. Ours gets used very frequently year-round and has held up well. Yes, the price stings, but that's what pro deals are for.

    Colorado Wolverines

    I didn't read to in depth on the topic, but the question that I had is where does Colorado propose to obtain wolverines from? I believe wolverines have ESA protection in the lower 48. I guess Colorado could try to get some from Alaska.

    Have you ever seen a wolverine in the Lower 48?

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    Do I even want to know what a fish whistle is?

    Did it make the jump?

    My dad just sent me the article and I hopped on here to share, but saw Customweld's thread. Agree we need much more information. Agree that if true, this is a big deal.

    McCall, ID Family Trip

    Take your mud boots, it's pretty sloppy this time of year. The elk and deer are back, so be cautious driving at dusk, but there's no real concentration of them in Long Valley this time of year. Both big lakes have recently thawed, but I don't believe boat rentals are up and running. You might...

    Smith River - Montana

    Appreciate the feedback. Sounds like I'm well covered with any of my boxes for Idaho rivers. And I hear you on the water park feel of the "wild" rivers in summer. I think the best to avoid it is the Selway, where I've got a spot on a trip in July, but looking pretty dicey this year. Tight lines.

    Smith River - Montana

    Lucky enough to be invited on a Smith trip with good family friends in mid-June. I've never done an overnight float in Montana, but the regs seem pretty self-explanatory. We'll have plenty of kids on the trip, but I would like to make the most of the fishing. Anyone familiar with likely hatches...

    Idaho Shed Hunting- Permit Required Bill

    Not a fan of the legislature imposing on an agency's prerogatives, but I will admit, I don't hate the result of this bill (requiring NRs to purchase a license to acquire Idaho resources). I have been asking IDFG to require a license for someone to use WMAs for a while now. But why on earth are...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    My mom is retired, and bought NVIDIA at $200 a few years ago, against my advice. She rubs it in every time I see her

    Bobcat box traps

    Those look great. I'm looking to build expand my bobcat setups for next year, and I may be bugging you for dimensions if you don't mind.

    Displaying Deer hides

    If you're really looking for cost savings, just rub some borax into the raw hide, and drape over the rafters in the garage. Warning: your wife will not be a big fan of the garage at all

    Whats on your Christmas list?

    Like others have said, gifts that come from thought mean much more than something I could go buy. Years ago, my wife heard me casually mention that my old rattling horns were starting to get beat up and dull. The comment could not have any way been directed toward my wife, as I would never...

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    Since fish and game biologists removed the lymph nodes, and I showed them on a map where the buck died, I think they would have addressed any issues with how I handled the carcass... I was not in unit 14 or 15

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    CWD certainly takes some of the fun out of the equation. There's no doubt about that for me. CWD is spreading in Idaho, and the buck I killed this year is from a newer potential CWD area where IDFG has asked for samples. I don't have a problem providing data to my wildlife management agency, and...

    Middle Fork Salmon raft set up for float hunt

    That's hilarious. I know that group well. Didn't know they had a video about that trip, but I know a good chunk of that trip was well below zero. I don't know anyone who can put on more miles than some of the dudes in that video.
