    New to muzzleloader.

    I’m brand new to muzzleloader/ black powder. I have a bighorn in .52 cal. Can’t find bullets for it, honestly I don’t even know how to load it so I’m looking for insight on what I need to get. Needs to be Idaho legal.

    How rare is a 200 inch mule deer

    I know there’s been some urban bucks that are hitting that 200”. I’ve only seen one that was for sure 200 during an elk hunt and another I thought was close. I shot one that I thought was 200 but didn’t quite make it. I’m also only counting gross score (nets are for fish).

    Compact Spotter

    That’s where Ive been in Limbo. All the spotter I’ve used in the past were 20-60s so they made a massive differenc, but I never felt I need that big of one. I’ll probably just go with the 16-48 and sacrifice a little bit of weight. Any recommendations on a tripod?

    Backcountry Bear Baiting

    I passed on that one and told myself if he came later in the season I’d reconsider, was still hoping for a bigger one, but he never came back. Live and learn!

    Bear Bait

    I used to go to the theater in Moscow. Talked to the manager and they started putting the popcorn in a separate bag for me everyday. Also there is a guy in Post Falls that sells frosting, powder, full baits etc.
