    How to prevent false triggers on trail cam?

    Question for all you serious trail camera guys, how do you go about preventing false triggers on your cams? I pulled a camera today that filled a card with 20k+ pics in about a month, and i haven’t sifted through all of the pics yet but it seems all I have are pictures of nothing[emoji2373]...

    Is he too young?

    My 9 year old recently passed hunter ed, he will turn 10 in October and be able to hunt big game here in Idaho. There are a few sheep hunts that open after his birthday that he would be eligible for. He has been in the woods hiking/backpacking/hunting with me from the time he could walk. All he...

    Climate change is really what’s causing inflation[emoji23]

    According to the AP inflation has nothing to do with bad policy making by our government and everything to do with climate change. https://apnews.com/article/inflation-climate-change-food-prices-heat-6e5297e12868aaf797529bb755268818 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What’s the hang up

    My 9 year old shot his first fox squirrel today, it was a great shot, probably 60 feet up a tree, it did the death grip for a moment then began to fall, until it hung up on a limb at 40 feet. I spent the next 45 minutes trying to knock it out of the tree and even resorted to attempting to shoot...

    Opening day vs 3rd weekend of season

    I drew Montana this year, my original plan, pretty much from the moment I drew has been that with limited time I would drive to my unit(roughly 5 hr drive) Friday before opener with the intent of scouring the unit that afternoon/evening in hopes of camping on the best buck I can find in order to...

    Will he be back

    Last November, Idaho mountain whitetail, probably 150-160” buck, I saw him on NF land locked down on a doe, unfortunately I did not have a tag. So the question is, will that big buck be back this year in the same general area or am I chasing a ghost that I will likely never see again? Im not...

    Would you do it?

    I’m slightly conflicted, there is a large buck I’ve seen pretty regularly this year on public land but he lives about 200 yds off of a very busy highway where anybody driving by can see him in plain sight. Not an area known for producing big bucks but this one looks to be 170”+, and he is in...

    Frank church hunters, heads up

    Just wanted to give a heads up to anybody that might be planning to fly into the frank this coming season, I was reading an article this morning saying that several groups were suing the USFS over use of some of the backcountry airstrips in the frank. May want to keep an eye on it as it could...

    Otopro

    Heard about Otopro on the meateater podcast last year, they are a company that provides hearing protection products. Decided it was time to take seriously protecting the hearing I have left, especially once I bought a rifle with a muzzle brake this winter. Ordered a pair of their custom fitted...

    Squeaks and squeals

    I have always struggled with diaphragm calls, like constant gagging, not able to make a sound. I decided I wanted to try again so I grabbed a couple, and lo and behold I’m getting a few squeals and squeaks out of them. How long did it take you all to go from squeaks and squeals to elk talk...

    Better lucky than good

    Well I don’t know where or how to start, the season went pretty much nothing like I expected. I spent more time scouting this year, the weather lined up perfect(ish), I was more prepared than ever before and had every intention of taking home a big mature muley. Packed into my spot with a buddy...

    Bedliner paint jobs

    Hey guys have any of you done a paint job with bedliner on your hunting rigs? I’m thinking about doing it since my kids decided to scratch up the paint on my ‘06 F-150 with a rock and I can hardly stand to look at my truck now but I don’t know that I want to go all in on a paint job. Seems like...

    Where did average slope go on Google Earth Pro?

    I like to use the path feature to plot out routes, using the path feature on the old google earth you used to be able to view the elevation profile see the average slope of a route, not just the maximum slopes. I got a new computer and downloaded google earth pro and it seems the average slopes...

    Idaho bear down

    I had limited time to hunt bears this spring due to my wife being due with our second child in early June, she says I'm not really allowed out of cell service within a month of the due date. Anyway I headed up to unit 39 for a spot and stalk hunt this last weekend. Ended up spotting this bear...

Originally from eastern Washington but I've been in SW Idaho now for the last 7 years. I've really been recommitting myself to getting out and enjoying the outdoors more this...
