    10 year old daughter took her first deer this year in Idaho. Made a great shot, pretty sure she has caught a bad case of the hunting bug.

    Spike Elk UTAH OTC

    Hunted spike elk in UT many times (archery and rifle), quite a few different units. One thought to keep in mind: Approximate numbers, but roughly 5-10% of a heard is a spike. Or, 5-10 targets per 100 elk. Others are cows, branched bulls, or calves. That is mainly why success rate is really...

    Gutless Method in New Mexico

    Skunk, as many have said on the post: - Cooling the meat down quickly is always the best option. Nature designed hides of deer to hold heat in very well, and it will retain heat longer than most suspect. - Many techniques out there. As others have stated, one should work for you. -...

    Idaho Mountain Goat, Frank Church units

    Thank you for the information, and will PM if I draw. Somewhat made up my mind to put it and sort it out. Figure with a bit of guidance from folks like yourself, and some miles on the boots, should be a great experience.

    Idaho Mountain Goat, Frank Church units

    Thank you for the information. In answer to "we", yes, a couple of friends came along, and yes, we made it out in one trip. Used to packing animals (elk mostly, deer occasionally, pronghorn I drive to :)) out, so we did bone/cape the thing. I did do a full mount. Great advice on the weather...

    Idaho Mountain Goat, Frank Church units

    Recently moved to Idaho from Utah in 2016, still getting my bearings on Idaho hunting/units etc. In 2015, I drew a Utah Mountain Goat tag (High Uintas Central), was fortunate enough to get a billie. Looking to start putting in for Idaho, and would like advice/thoughts on the 27-x units in the...

    Kodiak hunt

    A few years back, I hunted with a "transporter" where they provide lodging, transportation to the beach, then ya'll are on your own for the hunt. To your question on what to bring: 1. If rifle hunting, bring a stainless rifle, synthetic stock, and one that you don't mind if it gets beat up. It...
