On the road again...
This time it is Idaho.
I've hunted about 20 days in two states for bucks so far this fall and I'm still looking!
Although Idaho is no longer considered a great mule deer state, we make up for it in opportunity to hunt and there are still some smoker bucks around in our general units.
Some backcountry units open early and even run into November. They are demanding hunts but there is opportunity to take a good buck, especially if you scout.
I'm in 9 to 13 miles by horseback for a few days to hunt some areas where I've seen a few 30" bucks over the years. It's a tough hunt, but again, there is some potential.
I can hunt about 5 days before I have to be back to guide a hunter for our Oct 10th opener.
It will just be me and the horses this trip.
I'll have a base camp and spike out from there in a few different directions depending on what I find. If I don't get a buck, I'll be back in there- Lord willin' of course- for the November hunt.
This Live hunt might not be quite as exciting as very poor cell service and no way I can take the laptop. Jodi will provide updates, but maybe only one daily. However, if I turn over a great buck, you'll all be the second to know.
