    Got my Shiras tag!

    So got very lucky and drew my resident shiras tag my third year. Unit 10-3 up in the Lolo zone which I hear can be a tough zone due to the terrain and wolves. Still excited for the hunt, and will have some help from family. Will try to get lots of scouting in prior. If anyone has some info on...

    Glock 29 or 40?

    Haven't shot the 29 or 20 but I have the 40 and like it a lot. Kick isn't too bad, option to add a red dot without too much work when I'm ready, and its lighter than the 20 (not much, 4oz but still lighter). I will say finding 10mm ammo can be a pain in stores though.

    First bird dog training, advice for some clueless?

    Thanks for all the advice guys, I’ve been burning through YouTube and picked up Game dog by wolters and will probably start on it during my flight. I’ve introduced her to a dry pheasant wing I bought at the store and she’s crazy about it when rubberbanded to the bumper but now she just wants to...

    First bird dog training, advice for some clueless?

    Took her out for bumber throws tonight and did about four and she was loving it. Still not always wanting to bring it back though. Thanks for all the advice, looks like I’ll be doing some reading and try a little bit more patience.

    First bird dog training, advice for some clueless?

    Thanks for the advice guys, I took her out for about 3 throws after dinner and she was actually really excited so maybe I just put too much on her earlier when I was out in the sage brush. My buddy has a grouse that got smacked on the road frozen in his freezer for her but where can I find live...

    First bird dog training, advice for some clueless?

    I've incorporated treat at the end of the throws but then she just ignores the bumper and focuses on the treats to maybe i'll wait until after were done. She'll go for about 5-7 throws and then seem to get bored at this point. Today though she only did two and went back to the truck but I also...

    First bird dog training, advice for some clueless?

    So been attempting to train my female lab (6 months old) for ducks and upland and am honestly at a loss. Tons of information online but it all seems contradictory to each other. I'm honestly getting frustrated and a little concerned seeing how i'm not likely to get another dog for some time and...

    Guys with young pups, try this.

    So out of curiosity, where in the world do you buy pigeons? My female lab is 13 weeks out and I’m thinking about introducing her to birds in a bit (people seem to have different views to what age is right)

    Brucellosis in elk and its impact on them

    Idaho has some Brucellosis in the palisade herd on the Wyoming border. Supposedly this is why its the lowest elk population per unit in the state. My understanding though is its more due to the management to keep the population low due to concerns with cattle ranchers rather than any real...

    Last minute scramble sucess

    So after catching covid for the two weeks of general rifle deer here in SE Idaho I decided to head to the panhandle with hopes of getting any legal deer for meat. Knowing that mule deer were rare in the area, I was just hoping for a whitetail doe or small buck for the freezer. After driving...

    Week left to hunt, trying to plan for Idaho deer?

    That’s what I’m leaning towards, already got the tire chains and long Johns, so I’ll just head to the panhandle for meat.

    Week left to hunt, trying to plan for Idaho deer?

    Well, I'm about to break one of the cardinal rules here but my back is against the wall and could use some input from other roksliders. I got covid in October and was out for the 2 weeks of rifle deer season in SE Idaho. After striking out on archery elk this September I have a general deer...

    Northern Idaho Whitetails

    Looks like this is what you're talking about. Not sure why F&G I talked to said I couldn't use my regular tag. Seems there's a couple units where you can't so maybe that's what he was thinking...
