I am an Idaho resident. My three non-rez hunting partners got kicked out of the IDFG website system when their numbers came up. Our Elk zone has since sold out. Their numbers were as low as 8,000 up to 21,000.
They called IDFG and were 1700 in line to talk to an agent. Now IDFG is telling...
Come to central and northern Idaho. Damn cats are everywhere but they are wiley.
It will be difficult to plan a trip specifically to find a cat without using hounds.
I don't use hounds and I generally get one a year. The cats prefer to hunt at night but I do see them stalking deer in the...
I live in the mountains of northern Idaho and see many whitetails all day, every day.
8-pointers are a dime a dozen during the rut.
This is the first year I have passed on all bucks in northern Idaho. I hunted hard like I do every year for elk then white tail. In my area a tag allows for...

in 2004 I was T-Boned by a drunk driver while I was driving my patrol car. I was in excellent condition at 40 years old and that is what saved me. My surgery had to be work-comp approved so that took a few years. The back pain was intense.,
Anyway my L4,5 S1 was fused. The surgeon went in...
No rhino's where I elk hunt but this Shiras moose was stalking me during elk season.
H e was very easy going and docile. This area of northen Idaho is closed to moose hunting due to wolves.
I found the meat to be bland. It took on the spices it was prepared with very well.
I cooked it hot and fast in a skillet. As others have mentioned, it has a unique odor when cooking. After cooked it resembled lean pork with a bit of chewyness.
As far as mounting, they are expensive and...
I purchased a Trijicon IR Hunter Mk3 60mm. It was mounted on a lightweight AR-15 with a quality flashlight. After the first week I realized I would need a scanner as well. That setup has some weight and it is fatiguing scanning for long periods moving the rifle around. I got a Pulsar...
Took this big Tom Sep '22 on my property in north Idaho.
He was eating everything on my mountain. He killed 6 does / fawns the previous 8 weeks just on my place.
I had to wait for season to start.
I recognized a pattern he developed and he became complacent. He also wasn't afraid of me or my...
Congrats on a nice cat. They are very clever and difficult to come across in the daylight. Luckily in Idaho we can hunt them too. They are a real menace to the deer population.
Another creeper from the shadows coming into the light. Post #1.
I live in the Elk City area of north central Idaho.
I am a hunter of most four legged critters. I especially enjoy elk, cougar and wolf hunting.
I enjoy hunting with and discussing big bore handguns.
I live on a mountain with...
