    Cat Recipes?

    Pulled pork style turns out substantially the same as real pulled pork, and very tasty. Also have done finger steaks which turned our really well with lion. It will dry out, so keeping moisture in and adding a little fat does not hurt

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Don't mean to hijack, but demographic trends are very interesting to me. Do any of you look Peter Zeihan's materials? He seems pretty adamant that global populations are on the way down overall, especially China. It's interesting to ponder.

    Best beginner archery hunts for learning

    Pick up a bow this fall and get after rabbits and grouse, then turkeys in the spring. You will have a lot of fun, and learn a lot about handling a bow in real world conditions

    Idaho Fish and Game Counting wildlife

    Well, there won't be much to count on the Boise front this winter. What a brutal loss of a lot of mature sage and bitterbrush today. Hoping everyone on Robie Creek is safe.

    Archery Setups to Minimize Frontal Shots

    Don't call "at" elk. Like said previously, direct your calls in other directions. When you call right at an elk, they know exactly which tree the call came from. Once that happens, you're done

    Don't Burn Your Toilet Paper

    Do you realize this is a wildlife management area in Idaho? If people were required to possess a hunting/fishing license to access wildlife management areas, the wildlife agency generates more revenue, or the wildlife management area receives less traffic. Either way sportsmen win. What a concept

    Don't Burn Your Toilet Paper

    https://idfg.idaho.gov/article/pack-it-out-or-bury-it-dont-burn-it They article doesn't say if the "hikers" were hunters or not, but seems to imply they were not hunting. Another 750 acres of DEDICATED mule deer winter range burned. Another reason I implore IDFG to require a license to access...

    Dads of Rokslide

    Many great points. All I can offer is that your life to this point has likely centered a lot around your own wants and needs. Your life now will revolve entirely around your family's wants and needs. Don't worry, you will like your new life better, and when you get back to hunting hard in...

    Strategy for Other Hunters in "Your" Spot

    Even if you're first to the ridge, don't be surprise if someone shows up afternoon and pitches a tent a few hundred yards away. Just the way it goes.

    Don’t be stupid like me. Knives are sharp.

    Glad you made it out alright. I have duct tape and electrical tape wrapped around my water bottle, partly for this reason. I made a similar mistake in grad school. Buddy killed a bull and I got in too much of a hurry breaking it down. Knife slipped and I got a pretty good gash across my pinky...

    $$$ Mid range skull boil kit?

    Just use an old big pot, or find one at a yard sale, and the cooking burner on your grill. You'll need some borax, and detergent which you probably already have, and some of the more concentrated peroxide from a beauty supply store. All in you're probably under $30 even if you have none of the...

    Western ID Rut Activity

    In the heavily hunted units, I think the elk act more like whitetails than most folks would believe, In my experience, they really don't like to give away their position unless necessary. It's fun to watch the bigger bulls get mad at a calf for yapping, and throw it right back next to momma as...

    Western ID Rut Activity

    Bulls and cows are really, really quiet for us so far this year. Mainly calves giving away the herd. We snuck into a herd yesterday morning after hearing the calves talking. Never saw or heard a bull and decided to back out figuring there were no bulls and we had put a cow in the freezer the day...

    Who will shoot a cow elk this year?

    Shot a cow Saturday after seeing two bulls. Bird in the hand, I guess. She's already wrapped and in the freezer, and heart tacos for dinner tonight.

    Northwest Fire Danger

    Any reports of wildlife losses? It doesn't look like the mountain goat family near banner would have fared too well.

    Knife on bino harness?

    Yes, just a simple folder that clips onto the molly. I never take my binos off while hunting, but I do drop my pack for stalks and to hike up to certain vantage points. If something happened to my pack, I want at least the basics on me at all times, so a knife, lighter, thumb roll flint igniter...

    Things to do in Boise the end of August

    Southern and central Idaho are extra crispy this summer, with fires already going strong not too far from Boise. I would expect some significant smoke to be hanging in most areas by late August. I sure hope I'm wrong.
