    What’s going on in N Idaho?

    Weird, maybe explosives for logging companies near by? North Idaho never disappoints with weird experiences and people, my favorite place on earth.

    Proposed Deer plan for Central Idaho(not official)

    Which is even more saddening with the amount of backcountry and hard to hunt country we possess, these deer are not struggling due to hunters in any sense.

    Proposed Deer plan for Central Idaho(not official)

    Idahoans are so spoiled and simply don’t understand how bad it’d suck to have 7 day seasons, limited to one small unit which you can hunt once every 3 years. Especially, when the same unit they complain about has the potential for 170+ bucks every year, even with the “pressure.”

    Proposed Deer plan for Central Idaho(not official)

    I truthfully cannot see how Idaho guys (I’m one) can put any blame on non-res, they’re limited in #’s and have terrible success rates, each non-res I talk to is struggling other than an occasional lucky guy. Also, Important note, units 48/49 are being developed like crazy and have become the...

    What’s your state do well?

    I agree, especially with predators in states like California, Oregon, Washington- I think they’re the main limiting factor, especially the mountain lion populations.

    What’s your state do well?

    In Idaho, it’s gotta be the opportunity to hunt long seasons and have pretty aggressive predator compared to other western states. IDFG promotes wolf trapping and cat hunting, which is more than I can say for the other PNW states. Plus, I can hunt with firearms otc from Aug.30-Nov.31 across...

    What’s your state do well?

    Far and wide, hunters aren’t effecting the numbers of any units, we have minimal impact on herd #’s. Limiting tags won’t create/improve winter range, or cause rain etc. Taking away opportunities from residents or nr’s may only improve big buck #’s, but how many guys want to only hunt once every...

    what's too far in?

    For me, I’d say about 5 deep and 3000 + feet of elevation gain/loss for a deer. I regularly hiked in pretty deep this season and didn’t struggle. For elk I wouldn’t do more than 3 miles from a road, I hunt solo or with one person, I’m not doing 5 trips deep lol. My packs have a full water...

    2023 MULE DEER OFFICIAL MEAT POLE THREAD

    I purpose left out the rocky terrain to avoid landmarks, but when I say dangerous, I mean dangerous! I was seriously worried for my dads health and probably won’t take him back there. 45 degree slopes with 15 foot cliffs and slick/snowy boulders everywhere.

    2023 MULE DEER OFFICIAL MEAT POLE THREAD

    10/27- my Dad, Brother and I set out for steep and physical day hunt. Probably the last one before my brother enlists in the military. We began hiking at 5:05 AM and gained 2100 feet of vertical in 1.1 miles then trekked another 2 miles west. Immediately, we spot a couple does and a nice buck...

    Solo Mule Deer hunting in WA

    That blue mountain study about elk calves was insane- 14 percent survival and 68 percent of deaths from Cougars 😳 Washington has got to get it together!

    Jealous- I hunted 6k acres in Kansas as kid and have been ruined since. That terrain is gorgeous and those bucks are awesome!

    What makes a buck get extras, cheaters, in lines, etc.

    Interestingly, through pictures from multiple generations I’ve seen areas where the same exact inline genetics have been passed from buck to buck. I’d say the 3x3 will maybe develop some nasty bases or a small kicker with age- but it seems like a non-typical is mostly dictated by strong genetics.

    What makes a buck get extras, cheaters, in lines, etc.

    I believe a mix of genetics, age and nutrition simply for the development of the extras. I can’t remember where I heard this but I believe the number of B&C non-typical’s hasn’t taken quite the hit that typical’s have because they’ve always been rare and require very mature bucks. But genetics...
