    Idaho draw

    37,192 for me. Big Desert B, Pioneer B, and Diamond Creek were sold out with only 100 online customers gone. It's all in person sales. I started 1,465 on phone sales queue, 45 minutes later, there are still... 1,465 people in front of me. I feel like Charlie Brown, and IDFG is Lucy with...

    Idaho Fish and Game Website problems

    Didn't choose another zone. Was in it for DC. Thought for sure I was money. I don't know how it could be sold out that much sooner this year. Weird.

    Idaho Fish and Game Website problems

    Ugh. Anyone else getting a pit in their stomach, waiting for the next update that says, "Due to unforseen circumstances and high demand, we will be cancelling today's sale. Details about..." And POOF, there goes everyone's spot in line.

    Idaho Fish and Game Website problems

    1403. It finally got me into the waiting room with 54 seconds to go. My dad waited and waited and never did get into the waiting room. When he was able to get in, at 10:02 he was given number 16k.

    Aim Low on Elk for Archery?

    I have learned my lesson the hard way, and aim middle 1/3rd to give myself the largest margin for error. My lesson: My dad and I were hiking back to the truck through 10 inches of snow that had just fallen. We jumped a small bull who was laying right in our boot tracks from where we came in...

    Your elk goals 2022?

    My goal is a 5*5 or better. My hope... is a nice 6*6.

    Bull hiss/moo/blow/huff--> What is he saying?

    I think it's definitely a dominance sound. Corey Jacobsen had this happen to him on his 2019 elk hunt. They were standing around the elk he'd just killed, when a great 6 point saunters up to them, sees the dead bull in "his" spot and hisses. He was so close Corey had to move for fear of...

    Montana Alternative list

    FWP told my uncle that the first tags would be issued August 10th. He's 109. He also asked how many returned tags they had. "I dunno" was the response.

    Rangefinder holder

    I just used some small bolt's/nuts with some loctite on the threads. I heated up a small metal rod with a torch and melted it through the nylon straps where I wanted the hanger to be and put the bolts through that.

    Rangefinder holder

    I used a CB radio microphone hanger and button (The round thing that mounts to the CB mic) to make the perfect rangefinder holder that I mounted to my bino harness. This allows me to mount the rangefinder up high minimizing arm movement and keeping it away from other gear. I also never have to...

    Arrow tracking App

    I was hoping to find an app that will help me track my shooting practice. I've done it manually in the past, (with printed out targets and a pen) but it seems a little archaic considering all the things that can be done on a phone. I'm looking for a digital way to record every arrow I shoot...

    The dumbest sh!t hunters say...

    I disagree. I've shot many deer through the rear shoulders. 😂

    Wyoming Party App

    It depends on the burn. An area I hunt burned, bad. It's been 7 years and only now are there a few small knee to waist high pines coming back. It looked like the moon for the first 5 years. And there were zero elk. Just something to keep in mind.

    $130 to "set up" a new bow, yikes

    I'm reeling a bit from the sticker shock of what it cost to essentially move sights, rest, nose button, peep, from my old bow and put on a D loop. I realize they are providing a service, one that I'm happy to pay for, but could anyone help me understand how $130 is justified? I know that...

    10+ Mile Days

    As others have said, a lot of times people "feel" how hard a hunt is and throw out 10 as a big number. That said, our average day is probably 7-10 miles. It's not as bad as it sounds though. Most of our hunts consist of a 2 miles in, 2 miles out loop. Do one of those in the morning and one...

    Would you take a game warden’s advice on where to hunt?

    Probably not. But that's because the only wardens I speak with are ones checking me. And I know they are going down the road to the next campsite and tell those hunters the same thing about where to try.

    What Hunting Videos Interest You?

    The most important aspect to a good hunting show (or any other show for that matter) is to be a good storyteller. Make the viewers feel they are right there with you as much as possible. It becomes more about the story and entertainment value and less about trophy quality. Any innovation; be...

    Diaphragm inconsistencies based on retailer

    Last year I ordered a Phelps diaphragm (pink one) directly from Phelps. I liked it so I ordered a second one as a backup for elk season from Black Ovis. (BO had free shipping so I thought I'd save a few bucks.) When I tried to use the B.O. call I could barely get the thing to squeak. Now...
