    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    I will immediately be doing training and lessons as soon as I decide on which horse to get. I don’t plan on racing up to the mountains alone with him as soon as I get him

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Why is speed desirable in this type of horse? Being new to horses the thought of going fast on any of them of a mountain doesn’t sound appealing. I watched some YouTube woman who exclusively uses draft horses for trail riding and she said that her horse is usually at the front before too long...

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    A buddy called me and said they're using them up in the mountains to log and pull timber over long distances even in snow up to the riders feet. He said I wouldn't need a second horse to pack out gear or meat at all. Does this sound correct? One person said great horse for it, another said terrible.

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Is a Percheron going to do ok for mountain hunting and general trail riding? Looking at getting a horse very soon and love these guys, but if a quarter horse is going to be 100x times better than I will avoid them. I want to be able to pack in 2-3 days (minimal gear) for hunting and back country...

    Gave it my best shot. Had two more bulls respond on the last day but wouldn't play. Attempted to stalk in on one after a while but they ghosted me.

    Well tomorrows the last day and I have no idea where to go. I went back to where I got on those bulls and they look like they haven’t been back since. Another year failed 😣

    Idaho Elk outfitters

    Idk what your experience level is or ability to get it done, but it looks like I will be going on year four without having bagged one. I spent probably close to what a guide costs every year, and I live here and get to hunt 20+ Days a season…

    Anyone tried carnivore?

    Would also suggest at least doing 3 to 4 weeks. It may take up to one week alone to enter ketosis. I didn’t really feel like I “stabilized” through all the transitions in my body until week 3.

    Damn that’s heartbreaking. If I hadn’t have tried to close on that first one he may have came right to me even down wind. He was coming in hot.

    Washing machine winds

    My new area has winds that make planning a hunt virtually impossible. When they should be going down they are up and vice Versa. When they seem to be doing what they should be they suddenly change and swish up and down, or back and forth. Sometimes for only a few seconds sometimes for a couple...

    What did I do wrong 2.0

    I was up on the side of one narrow draw and he was on the other side. I couldn’t get him to come down to the bottom so I could shoot down. And if I tried to go to the bottom he would have surely seen me, if that’s not what happened

    I cannot even imagine stalking into bow range on these guys in this terrain. If I breathe wrong branches and forest liter are snapping.

    Hawaii Hunting

    If you get good at spearing there, you'll be good anywhere. Those islands are rough unless you're a pretty good diver. Every time I spear there I miss my dumb Californian fish. I remember having to dive past 80' just to shoot the one tiny fish I got in Maui. Lost more than one friend to SWB...

    You stalk all the way within bow range on bedded elk? What do you mean work in on him quietly?

    What did I do wrong 2.0

    Someone else mentioned doing that and I’ve been considering it. But in all three of those situations I can’t imagine how it would’ve helped me? I’ll probably get one regardless because I have a spending problem and would rather have it than not. Just wondering how to work it in these...

    Should I move?

    Oh no, that was hilarious. You described the people I can’t stand perfectly. I couldn’t have thrown all those things together in one jab 😂

    Should I move?

    Ha ha ha ha. Now that I see where the elk are in the dark timber that thermal scope is useless. Wouldn’t do me any good if I strapped into my bow. But I do love this made up image you’ve painted of me. Absolutely hit The nail on the head 100%. That’s me.

    What did I do wrong 2.0

    Since my last post I changed locations. That was the best advice given and definitely a huge part of my lack of success for 3 years. Turns out Once you’re in the right spot with elk it’s actually fun and engaging. All of the techniques for locating where elk will be and cutting out 95% of the...

    Should I move?

    Thanks guys. Chase locations and within 48 hours I was on three different bulls including a 6 point. Screwed it all up, but at least I’m really elk hunting now 😂

    Should I move?

    Haha. They finally joined the party and legalized them this year. I wasn’t missing out apparently. They suck hard. I called them when I moved here and asked why they weren’t allowed. They said they wanted to keep archery primitive. I laughed and said how is a compound bow with cams and carbon...
