Idaho Unit 32

[trogers861]

Looks like my last thread was deleted without any explanation.

Looking to connect with anyone that has hunted OTC unit 32 in Idaho recently. Unfortunately, due to Idaho's 'OTC' process, its near impossible to get a party of tags in a decent unit. My buddies and I ended up with 32 this year. Please send me a PM if you are willing to discuss the unit.

Thanks,
Tim

Interesting. Wasn't aware that asking to connect with folks that have hunted the unit was breaking the rules. I understand spot burning--and I understand folks that come on pleading and begging for someone to drop them pins--but feel like this is quite different. Isn't the whole point of a forum to connect with like minded individuals and share information? I mean shit--I just looked through the mule deer, elk and white tail topics and isn't that what nearly all the threads are about? Crazy.

I live next door to 32 GARBAGE my granddaughter drew the 32 Late tag 2 years ago she shot the biggest buck we saw in over 18 days of hunting a 3x4 under 20" wide !! We saw a total of maybe 300 deer all together 99.5 % were does , we took my grandson out there last year opening day we saw 3 does & 5 lopes an aprox 400 SXS wheelers jeeps & Azz Hats driving around !! This is another fine example of Idaho F&G's wonderful LACK of Game Management program

Hate to hear that. Wish they would just close the roads.
Do you think there is enough area that is inaccessible via roads that I can backpack in for a couple days to get away from road hunters?

You apparently have never been in 32 !! This unit is littered with roads 2 tracks trails ETC , there are a few Access Yes places but they will be steady traffic from before daylight to after dark, there is not a place in 32 that I can think of that you could get far enough away from any road. This area is hammered by elk hunters from Aug 1st until Feb every year , there are a couple of good bucks that get taken every year in 32 But from the ones I know of they are off of Private ranches & guys paying big $4 to hunt them . It sounds like you are from out of state or at least out of area I would Strongly suggest a different unit 23 31 32 32A 39 43 are areas that suck for deer #s & they are over ran by hunters every single year .. I bow hunt 31 for elk, trap & hunt yotes in 32 used to hunt 39 & 43 late seasons rifle & bow for deer & I stopped wasting my time about 5 years ago

It is sad what has become of some amazing deer hunting
The bucks we used to see in 22 31 32 32a were impressive
And the road hunting was off the charts!

Naming units and asking for info is frowned on and will get deleted if caught. Every time someone searches that unit on the internet, the post will pop up. Probably why that unit is a sh*t show.

Yes it is , the Paddock fire & a couple others burnt I would guess 60% of that entire unit to the dirt !!! I dont believe they are even allowing traffic on the main roads unless you live in the unit & have to show proof of residence . If you go on ONX or Watch Duty it burned everything from Paddock Res all the way over to the Ola/Sweet Rd & north past Crane Crk Res almost to the Indian Valley hwy.. Do you have a tag or just asking ??

Wow that’s insane. Yeah I do, I was going to get up there Thursday morning for the last day but I did not realize how bad those fires really were. Looks like I’ll have to figure something else out because I already have work off. I was just up in 31 last weekend and was not impressed so I wanted to do a day hunt closer to town. Haven’t been up to squaw in a while so I wanted to check it out. Thanks for the info

I was actually in 31 on Saturday looking for a deer for my grandson !! What a Shit show that was, we took the 4 wheelers Sunday out on the West end of 32 . It is black as far north & east as you can see the entire Squaw Butte is burnt to the dirt F&G closed all of the access yes lands. I know a few of the landowners out there & they have closed ALL of their lands down. I am guessing you have a dee tag !!

 

[jjones2shifty]

A shit show it was and yeah I have a deer tag. Probably just going to head up to 39 and pray I beat the weekend rush.
