I'd love for Joe, Cam, & Steve to bring this up this fall on a podcast. Titled "Spend more time with family & friends. Tags are too expensive & there are no animals in the woods"
I have been scouting unit 23 twice on day trips, prepping for Oct 10th rifle opener for deer. Interested in connecting over DMs or preferably a video call if anyone has relevant info. Here are some photos! I believe patience in some of these areas would serve me well, let me know if anyone wants...
Smart man! Regarding elevation, its tough, but low population densities are my biggest fear out here. As my backyard neighbor puts it, his nice 4x4 (deer not four wheeler) in his garage was the only thing alive in the frank church that year!
Sorry about that diagnosis. Hopefully someone can be more help. I've been scouting unit 23 to no avail but I've ruled out some land. Your entire unit is wilderness, if I was in your shoes Id rent a four wheeler to ensure you can get far enough out. Or start cold calling guides.... 3 days goes...

The Owyhees in Idaho has this meet buck/trophy tag for mule deer. I dont think there is one with a gap year for 3x3 deer, pretty sure its fun for people with the trophy tag, Having a gap year for 3x3 sounds like a good way to make big 3x3s and do nothing positive for the heard besides shooting...
Pretty sure you can listen to biologists break down this science pretty in-depth in rokcast, meat eater podcasts & more. I believe findings indicate its meaningless to the population. To add, CWD will kill an animal without fail 2-3 years after first infection (this is the latest i have heard)...
Having a hard time with this right now. Living in Idaho WFH full time job that pays shockingly well.
They want to promote me to a management position & other companies want to hire me, but id have to move to CA or NYC for those too. Eats me alive some moments in the day. But here in ID life is...
No kidding! You know they are real if their first post is about having drawn a MT general combo and arent looking for a great spot but just a good elk hunting area in general. Flying into bozeman from California just looking for a hunt where you can work pretty hard and have some success early.
