My buddy just bought this pack and we used it this weekend. He loved it and it seemed like a durable pack. We will see how it holds up. Great value for the $$$ IMO.
I drew this tag and live close to the unit. I would love to know if anyone has any first hand experience on this hunt. I plan on hitting it hard. Can trade OTC elk info on a few different units.
I think its comical that anyone would think that neighboring states would give a shit about what another state thinks of their big game management.
I moved to Idaho for a reason from Utah, for the hunting.

I would assume the boot, since they are in great condition.. Considering I have bought Meindl's twice and wore the shit out of them with never a problem.. Also a one year warranty on a $400 pair of boots is not ideal. I also bird hunt 100+ days a year in addition to elk and deer hunting and was...
Had a great first weekend, and it was fun to be back in the hills! Passed two small 5x5's and saw 3 mature bulls. One pushing cows and the others hanging together. Bugling fairly well but not really into it. Will be back in a few weeks!
Until I moved to Idaho.... :) Now all I find is elk. I have located a few 300+ bulls and found one this morning pushing 330. But deer are freaking impossible to find in Eastern Idaho!! I have spent an insane amount of time glassing and scouting and have not seen a deer that would push 170. I...
