    Point Creep - is there any light at the end of the tunnel?

    As a 34 year old in a similar position as you, I am in the game knowing I may be thousands of dollars in and 25 years away from many tags. But that’s the cost and commitment. I do believe more people than you know will die or lose interest by the time we are in our fifties. Sadly though, I worry...

    Scouting Central Idaho Mule Deer

    Later in July is closer to the hunting season thus better, IMO. Maybe people have better luck locating bucks in July than I do, but it seems like for me July scouting is more about logistics scouting - camp spots, water, glassing locations, etc.

    Wall Tent Shop: Wilderness Edition Review

    We use a heavy duty vinyl mesh truck tarp, the kind that truckers use to cover their loads, as a floor, and we believe it’s a very good option. We love wall tent hunting even though the newer tent options and campers have many advantages. There is just something about burning wood that I don’t...

    Western Land Prices

    In Boise most homes have doubled in price since 2015. The average 4 bedroom house seems to be about $600,000. I am very happy with my equity, not so happy with my taxes, and wonder if, when my kids hit the “move out” stage, how they will ever do that, even renting.

    Drought

    I think our SW mule deer herds are going to go into the 2030s in historically bad shape. You think people are moaning about draw odds now, think what happens when game and fish departments are truly forced to shed tag numbers!

    Which camo pattern best suits Idaho?

    Valo would be best if you are hunting below 5,500 feet elevation. Verde pretty good between 5,500 and 8,500. Vias good above 8,500. Any of them will be fine though.

    E-Bike vs UTV to hunt multiple states for retirement?

    Lots of Idaho areas are called “singletrack” which means motorcycle (ebike, horse, walk) only but if you don’t hunt areas like this then it’s not going to help. Also I’m not one to know because I’m not a motorcycle or ebike guy but every motorcycle guy I talk to says you better be damn good to...

    Doctor says I need a stress reliever...

    Do us all a favor, and reduce stress of your neighbor who works night shifts (sleeps during the day) and don’t speed through a neighborhood trying to be as loud as possible.

    Best sleeper states for elk and moose?

    Hunters are leaving California in droves. To me, that means tags will be much easier to get and rumor is as everybody flees, housing will be very affordable. California is the sleeper.

    Idaho prong horn units

    There aren’t a lot of units. Based on the proposed regs, you will have to decide whether to put in for archery or put in for any weapon... no more putting in for any weapon then drawing archery if you don’t get lucky for rifle. As for units, my advice is just pick the closest one to home, and...
