    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    All bullets have a range in which they perform, meaning proper expansion. 1-2 minutes of Google searching shows this particular ammo has a muzzle velocity of 2350fps, maybe 100fps slower with a shorter carbine barrel. TSX bullets are engineered to expand somewhere between 1500-1800fps...

    Shooting near homes?

    Pheasants with a shotgun, go for it. Deer with a bow, go for it. Anything with a rifle, pass. I appreciate the “opinions”, but trying to sell, “feed my family” is a hard pass. I don’t know this area, but I believe to OP has confirmed there is plenty of public land around so this isn’t a...

    New Solo Bowhunter.. Idaho Elk help please

    Yeah, 20 mi by backpack is a non-starter, so take that as advice #1. Forums like this will not give info on where to hunt. 20yrs ago maybe. Advice you might get I’d be suspect they are F’ing with you. Like others said, most units hold elk. IDFG has a lot of data that can at least say...

    Idaho Experience

    He’s frustrated because his place has changed over time. He voiced it. You’re frustrated because he tried to make you feel guilty about going in where he hunts and you’re voicing it. How are you different?? Am I missing where he cusses you out, interfered with your hunt, etc. You want...

    Only thing I miss about CA, duck hunting the refuges N of Sac, plus the Northern opener by Susanville.

    Wy Lope rebound?

    Wow, not what I wanted to hear in many ways but appreciate the responses. Could sure use some help from Mother Nature in back to back years, but that feels unlikely. So much of our best SW Idaho wintering grounds are burning right now so the news continues to disappoint.

    Wy Lope rebound?

    How does the population seem to be rebounding. Lots of fawns in the groups? I was in 108 last yr in Oct for elk. Was surprised how many I saw given how many died there. My June scout trip was an eye opener of dead bodies.

    BLM Blind rules for Idaho Archery Pronghorn

    My son was best friends with F&G CO Supervisor. Great guy. Definitely followed all actual and ethical rules on hunts. Hard worker. Nothing bad I can say about him. That said over the years I would see lots of technical violations, particularly using Bikes, Quads, and SxS’s where they...

    I sleep better with one, but statistically speaking no.

    Idaho vs Wyoming

    This^^ I’d guess it’s a lot cheaper to buy in a nice area of ID vs same of WY. WY is a rough winter, hence the population. Would have loved 5-6 yrs of hunting Reg G Deer and elk almost anywhere, but I love Idaho, despite all the transplants coming in.

    Reminder: Mountains will kill you

    Had a Mt Goat tag in White Cloud Mtns here in Idaho in 2014. Goat is feeding above a scree filled draw, but in a great spot. I hit him twice in the boiler room. He walked slowly over and laid down next to rim rock above the draw. I should have left him to die, but all the Goat experts say...

    Ever have to carry your dog off a trail?

    My DD is heat sensitive. Gus is 95lb, lean and long. I won’t run him if it much over 50 and sunny. If no direct sun, I can go to 65-70 but only a very few miles. My Setters are smaller, 55, and less heat sensitive. But, they have such high drive they only run at full tilt so have to...

    Idaho Unit 39 Elk

    Be aware how often snow comes on that opener in that country. Plan accordingly and don’t get caught off guard. Doesn’t last long usually, 2-3 days max.

    Idaho Goat hunt

    Leave the gun at home until about 10/10. If you scout up a good Billie he won’t move too far, maybe a ridge or two. My goat moved less than a half a mile in over a month. Don’t only look in the rocks, Billie’s will be in the timber pockets as well, the steep ones 😂! They are a different...

    36A-3 Idaho Goat

    Get in there up high and you won’t find it hard to find them, you’ll just find it hard to find a big Billie. That takes boot leather. Don’t shoot the nannies despite the looong horns, though I doubt that’s your intent. Wait until their coats fully come in to harvest. Kill % is very high...
