    Idaho Spring Bear

    Was in one of the draw units in SW Idaho yesterday. Snow is pretty clear up to 5k. 5.5k is still pretty solid snow in all aspects. Below 5k is pretty clear except spots on the north and east slopes. The green is following behind the snow about a week it looks like. Roads above 4.5k on the north...

    Has your dog been injured?

    Barbed wire fences. He does pretty good with the fences that are still standing. It’s the drift fences and old section fences that are laying on the ground that have gotten him a few times. Wild animals are his own fault.

    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    When I was in Jr High (‘87), my biology class partnered with IFG and“adopted” one of the Woodland Caribou. We got reports once a month of where he had been and other info that 7th grade kids couldn’t care less about. I believe he was eaten by a cat in ‘90. Back then their enemy was loggers...

    wolf management debate

    Show me any management decision that involved lethal control of wolves that wasn’t met with litigation. There may be folks that are on the fence about wolf management but they don’t matter. They are not the folks making decisions and never will be.All it takes is one person to file a lawsuit and...

    Did it make the jump?

    I kind of wondered if that is how it spread from Slate Creek down to New Meadows. A truck with mud on it, much like invasive weed seeds

    wolf management debate

    I agree . It's hard to say if we were going to get sued again, but the spotlight shining down on us certainly brought it to the front. I actually got out this last winter and put some effort in hunting them. There was a couple other guys that were hunting the same area I was, except they were up...

    wolf management debate

    Their compromise going into reintroduction is knowing that wolf population can increase by 30 percent every year. Once they can get a couple of packs going, there is no way on God's green earth that hunters can even come close to matching that 30 percent in harvesting them. Trapping is by far...

    wolf management debate

    No matter how you refer to wolves, pro wolf folks don't want to compromise . 30 years of history from Idaho, Wyoming and Montana should show you that. There. Is. No. Compromising. With. These. Groups.

    Did it make the jump?

    One would think (hope) that every state game agency would be screaming from the rooftops if this was a solid article.

    Did it make the jump?

    Has anyone else seen this? Is it a bogus scare tactic, coincidence or just plain fake news? https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/study-hunters-die-after-consuming-cwd-infected-venison/ar-BB1lNvEl?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=afaf79343bdd4c339a28991606b40d64&ei=41

    Podcast topics

    I'd like to see another segment on CWD with @robby denning and Toby from IFG . The new Idaho regs are out and they have added units to the mandatory testing and to the transport list. It would be interesting to have something on out-west necessities. Things that we absolutely need to be...

    Any Boise, Idahoans out there?

    If you are close to Emmett or the Boise area, drop me a PM and I'd be happy to lend some help packing an elk out next time. I'm not real bright but have a strong back and don't mind taking orders.:)

    Any Boise, Idahoans out there?

    Idaho has OTC for residents. Some zones are controlled hunt only, some are capped . Zones that are OTC typically have A tags (primarily archery hunts) and B tags (any weapon hunts).

    Wolf lawsuit against US Fish and Wildlife

    Exactly. It wouldn’t matter if there were 60k wolves in Idaho and Montana. It will never be enough because it isn’t about the animals. It’s the power and leverage to remove humans from any sort of game management. If they don’t get their way with wolves, it’ll be grizzlies and wolverines. These...

    The death of the retail store

    Jerry and Ed were both super guys. I had the opportunity to hunt turkeys with Ed and Gov. Andrus when I was in high school. I had a 280AI that Ed built for me, wished I hadn't have sold that! The store in downtown Meridian was a staple.

    Scheels coming to Meridian Idaho

    That’s where we parked too. I don’t mind hoofing it if it means I can get in and out of somewhere easy enough. Now that there is one close, I can shop online and pick up at the front of the store.

    Scheels coming to Meridian Idaho

    I told myself I wasn’t going to go. I was a moth to a flame, I couldn’t resist! What a circus. Holy cow, there were a lot of people there.

    Hot Tub?

    I keep mine at 104, except in the summer. I turn it down to 90 then. I like to keep it full and operating year round, even if we don’t use it in the summer. If you don’t know how to work on them, they can be a real pita and expensive.
