    Kuiu piece you can’t hunt without?

    I have owned a lot of their stuff, and, especially for the price, the peloton layers are some of my favorites. I use the 97 hoody, 200 hoody, and the 118 as a base. I am wearing at least one of those pieces, usually 2, through out all of hunting season. Warmth to weight ratio is great with the...

    Proposed Deer plan for Central Idaho(not official)

    While I agree they are needed before spring planning, I think having them for historical reference would still be more helpful than just not getting them and it’s such a low effort thing to do. Another factor is comparing these two states historical high deer populations and how close we are to...

    Proposed Deer plan for Central Idaho(not official)

    Have you compared the numbers from before the 16/17 winter? Idaho literally killed the most bucks they’ve killed in 40 YEARS during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. That was literally 7 years ago, the best hunting we’ve seen in 50 years and somehow the opportunity model doesn’t work.. winters manage...

    Idaho Unit 22 History/Downfall

    If not all of the does are being bred, then yes, buck hunting can be detrimental to the health of the population. I think studies have shown that it only takes a buck to doe ratio of 8 bucks per 100 does to ensure they all get bred. Don’t quote me on that, it’s been a while since I looked at...

    Idaho Unit 22 History/Downfall

    I think the main point here is that buck hunting does very little to the overall health of a deer population. In fact, in many ways, killing bucks can be beneficial to the health of a deer herd. Doe and fawn survival will always be what defines the actual health of a deer herd and the future of...

    Best Steak around Idaho Falls??

    If you don’t mind spending a decent amount and going a little out of town, the Teton House I think has the actual best steak around. In town The Sandpiper is good. I’d rather have a Texas Roadhouse steak than the other two mentioned, but everybody has their preferences.

    Idaho Unit 22 History/Downfall

    I have held this belief for a long time and have often had people tell me I’m crazy. “No way that getting rid of draw units could improve buck hunting in the state as a whole..” It’s different than how almost all of the western states manage for big deer in our current time and so it just seems...

    Sevr Broadheads

    Shot the 1.5s at 2 animals this year. Antelope had complete pass through at 80 and then another at 108. He died right there so only went about 30 yards. I shot my bull with a fixed blade first shot, and then the two follow up arrows were both SEVR 1.5s. Both arrows were quartering away, one...

    Bows "losing zero" ?

    I know MBG isn’t necessarily spot Hogg durable, but I hunt some nasty stuff with my bow taking more than a few hits and I have not had to touch my MBG 3 pin slider in the last 3 years other than initial sight-in when shooting different weight arrows. It’s been more than solid. It’s not an issue...

    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    Every time you go to the range is a cold bore test.. you have to fire a first shot right? If you didn’t notice it there, I’d say it’s an issue introduced by the field. Whether that’s the setup getting bounced around more than normal and losing zero, loss of shooting technique, less sturdy rest, etc.

    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    If you’ve shot it a bunch at the range and never had a cold bore shift and then it is suddenly happening on animals, I’d say it isn’t the rifle/suppressor…

    Questions on velvet rub timing 2023

    Just looking at harvest pictures year to year, Idahos archery season usually doesn’t produce a ton of velvet bucks, but I do sure seem to be seeing a lot more than usual this year. Only seen a couple bucks with my own eyes so far and they aren’t rubbed. Central Idaho.

    Updates to Western Wyo Scouting

    Close by in Idaho, bucks are just starting to pop into the high country in more numbers it seems. Thinking the never ending winter/wet summer just has kept them lower for the most part.

    What distance to start dialing

    I dialed for a bear at 250 this spring because I had the time to. I would dial for any shot that gave me time to dial. If you trust your scope, I don’t see why you wouldn’t? If there isn’t time then I am all prepared to shoot without dialing. I too zero at 100 then walk around with my rifle at...

    What to do, Roatan, Cozumel, Belize city, Puerto Costa Maya...

    Just did a cruise stopping at most the same stops. Had a lot of fun snorkeling in Cozumel. Saw some sea turtles there. Belize we went cave tubing and zip lining. Also a good time, but was a decent bus ride to get there. Caves were cool and refreshing though. Roatan we just did more...

    Updated Wyoming Range Mule Deer Mortality Article - June 13, 2023

    I haven't had the opportunity to be a part of this process, but from everything I have read, I truly do feel like stress is minimized to every extent possible, while still being able to get the data. I do believe wildlife professionals are trying to do what's best by the animals. What I have...

    Digiscoping options for athlon ares 85mm?

    Understandable. The mag view and Olin systems do look slick and quick. Just pretty limited on options right now. I carry the scope adapter in my pocket or hip pouch and can have it on there in seconds. I also like that I’ve been able to get pictures through a buddies spotter or use it with my...

    Digiscoping options for athlon ares 85mm?

    Highly recommend the Scopecam. I’ve had the old version for several years and loved how interchangeable it was, new spotting scope, binos, and phone and used the same setup without buying anything. Recently upgraded to the new magnetic version to make things a little quicker and it is super...

    PSA - Hunting off atv/utvs…

    The real funny thing is I can describe your experience to a T but substitute guys riding up the gully on horses for atvs. So many occasions where the guy riding his horse during prime time "cause horses don't scare animals!" has scared everything out of the country. I have never once seen a...
