    A reminder about bees in trees

    The worst is when they get between your pack frame and back when you're packing meat. SOB'a are relentless on meat on a warm day.

    A reminder about bees in trees

    That's just it, you rarely see them until they get after you. Their entry holes are usually less than a couple of inches in diameter. When they are active, you can see them going in and out of the nest.

    Tags from Idaho 8/8 Leftover/Returned Sale

    They are slow. It took my regular elk tag the better part of 2 weeks to arrive. I'm less than 30 miles from the SW Regional office.

    Elk eating knap weed.

    I've never seen that, but I've watched mule deer go after chicory blooms with that same gusto.

    Do you only grind your own wild game?

    I think it's definitely worth it. We got our daughters involved in processing when they were pretty young, they used to love grinding hamburger and making sausage. You always know what meat you're getting back and how clean it is going to be. We also take all of the scraps when we are done and...

    A reminder about bees in trees

    I don't miss getting into those rotten bastards working in the woods. When you are running a saw, you don't even hear them coming. Running a skid cat is like being stuck in a cage while they sting the $h^! out of you!

    The bill didn't make it out of committee last year, and never got a vote. The process will be the same as usual for tags sales this December.

    Dates don't change much at all. A lot depends on harvest statistics and winter herd counts.

    The legislature will be back in 25 to try and change NR procedures. Whether they get it through, who knows. IFG sets new regulations every 2 years, so 25 will also be the start of a 2 year cycle.

    County Fair Exhibitors

    I used to show 4-H Hogs. The last year I showed, I think I was a junior in HS. By that time girls and small town mischief got in the way of training my pig. Show day rolled around and I had a wild hog straight out of the bayou! She ended up attacking the other contestants pigs. They booted me...

    Is your Unit on Fire?

    A new one just blew up in the middle of unit 32 in Idaho. My elk zone is rapidly going to hell. That’s prime winter ground too. 😞
