    What I Learned On The Haul Road 2024

    Thank you for replying. I appreciate the information you provided. Not sure yet if I am going to use a bow or rifle. I do like to get away from the crowd when I am hunting, so maybe drive up and get someone with a boat to take us on the river for a ways out and then pick up back up. In that...

    What I Learned On The Haul Road 2024

    Sorry, I was thinking of the Haul Rd terrain, the tundra I believe is called, or maybe from everyones description maybe its swamp. Thanks for replying and providing some additional info.

    What I Learned On The Haul Road 2024

    How was it pulling the sled with a load in it? Just wonder if the sled might be better to put a field dressed caribou, plus pack, rifle, etc and just pull everything in the sled? I am trying to imagine the terrain, but have never been there in person.

    I'm torn on Tent/Stove choice

    What ever you decide, bit the bullet and buy a good tent now to start building around, you will have that then dang near a life time, if you buy a good one. Perhaps buy the slightly better/ bigger tent this year and the stove/heat source next year or the year after. A nice 10X10 Kodiac Flex...

    Idaho Non-Resident Tag Sale

    Some of the same issues as the last few years that others have commented on. I will say this about online tags, the on line system was a lot faster this year and it did not kick me out and make me start over line like I have had to when trying to use the online system to purchase tags in the...

    Any of you have a list of your Firearms?

    I would also recommend talking to your home owners insurance company and see what they recommend. A list is a good starting point. But the insurance company might need something more than a list for coverage. Maybe, pictures, video, receipts. Possibly start cycling more expensive one of your...

    "My Garmin In Reach" Saved My Bacon Today

    I also turn on the tracking when I leave the house. Good piece of mind for the wife and with my health history a handy piece of insurance.

    "My Garmin In Reach" Saved My Bacon Today

    Agree 100% I normally carry the axe, shovel, jack and fire exting, but I just took out my decked storage system a few days ago. Waiting for my new Radica Truck Topper to be completed and installed. A winch is high on my priority list and probably a heavy duty come along. Bad timing and bad...

    "My Garmin In Reach" Saved My Bacon Today

    Older hunter here pushing 68 this year. A number of years ago after cancer surgery and some heart work I was wanting to get back out into the woods and mountains. The doc was OK with the idea and said his only concern was for me to get back into shape. My wife was worried that something might...

    Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

    I am turning 68 this summer and solo hunt. Not sure what your definition of back country hunting is. I will not hesitate to hike in 5 or mores miles and back. I no longer hike in with everything on my back. Those back packing days are indeed over. Older, Fatter, Lazier and prefer truck...

    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    Didn't they spend really stupid money to buy those wolves and haul them into Colorado? Not a very good return on investment.

    Enclosed trailer build/condensation

    We have a small aluminum frame 12X7 cargo trailer camper conversion that me and my son built. Every once in a while we will get some some minor condensation on metal surfaces, screw heads as some else mentioned. The key is ventilation. As some else pointed out, we exhale quite a bit of moisture...

    Idaho Fish & Game In-person Tag Sales Strategy

    My opinion is for NR hunters only. I am sure I will get roasted for this as getting tags is a very personal, passionate process. Everyone has their own ideas and unique situations that might vary from year to year. I do not believe it is possible to make a system that works for everyone. The...

    What do you do for a living?

    30 yr Navy career, almost no chances to hunt, being stationed overseas for most of my time. Finally completely retired and got back into hunting about 2 yrs ago. I have a lot to learn, as we could only hunt small game where I grew up back in the midwest. Even though I am an older hunter I am...

    2024 Idaho General Draw! 10 days until the MADNESS!

    I got to the Panhandle region office about 5:45 AM as I live in Spokane WA. There were folks that been camping out there for 2 days. I was #94 standing in the pre-dawn line. Spent maybe 5 hrs standing outside in the elements, snowing a bit today as well. I was done by about 10:30 AM. I...
