    North Central Idaho Moose 2023

    I’ll tag out when it feels right. That’s the message I was telling myself after getting back from a fire assignment and dealing with the loss of my 14.5 year old black lab that I spent 10 years hunting over. Season opened August 30th and the end of August and beginning of September brought a few...

    Anybody live in Amarillo, TX?

    Hey all, I left North Central Idaho yesterday with my engine headed to Louisiana to help with the fires. Currently in Raton NM. My engine developed a problem and I’m wondering if any of you in Amarillo know if the dodge dealerships are usually open on holidays or may know of any good auto...

    2021 Idaho Antelope

    After putting in for moose tags the last several years and coming close to drawing, I decided to switch up my Idaho draw applications for 2021 since I was working in an area with limitless draw hunt opportunities. On the day the Idaho draw results came out, co workers and I were shooting the...

    Gloves for the extreme cold

    I’m curious what everyone’s glove setup is for the 10 below and colder temperatures. I have found that my hands stay the warmest wearing a pair of cheapo wool gloves, but am looking for suggestions on gloves that are good for work wear and flexibility when out in the cold. It was -38 the...

    Idaho unit 27 fires

    Thought I’d put it out there that if any of you hunt 27, pay attention to the boundary fire and Scarface fire. Seen the boundary column from a long ways away today. Locals think both of them are going to go big before weather comes in. Getting several texts the last week from buddies and...

    White Tail take over in unit 65/66 Oregon

    I've been living and working in a national forest (Western edge of unit 65) since the end of May and have noticed a few white tail running around.

    Eastern Oregon Hunting?

    Howdy folks! I accepted a job offer in the vicinity of the John Day area and am starting to look over Oregon's hunting regulations to see what Oregon has to offer. I'll still hunt with Idaho resident tags through next fall but won't have much time to hunt until late November. I may switch...

    Filled My Elk Tag

    After a season of ups and downs, I was blessed with filling my Idaho tag on this spike Sunday evening. I got done last night putting the rest of him in the freezer. He is a tasty little fella.

    Late Spring Wolf Tactics

    For those of you who've been successful hunting wolves this time of year, how'd you call them in? I'm thinking calf/fawn distress and maybe a howl or two once I know where they're at. I have been seeing a lot of wolf sign and know the general area where a few packs are on the district/forest I...

For hunting, I have a C.D which my late grandma set up for all of us grandkids before her passing that is doing pretty good. She...

    OnX freezing on GPS 64s

    Hello Roksliders, I've been having troubles with my Idaho hunt chip in my GPS map 64s. When I go to delete the current track, the screen freezes on me. This has happened every time I've tried to delete the track. Last hunt I just left the GPS in the truck and used the app on my phone. Does...

    I've been counting down the days until I'll become a resident of Idaho according to IDFG standards! I am looking forward to getting a chance to hunt white tail this fall and possibly elk if the tags aren't sold out. Seen some big bucks while working last summer that I'll try to track down this...
