    Your Power Song...right now..

    Depends on the mood. Pearl Jam's "Evenflow" always, but sometimes I'd rather go heavier with Metallica songs (any era), like "Creeping Death," "Master," or "Spit Our the Bone." If I'm feeling frisky, I'll go with some classic Korn, Rage, Tool, or RATM.

    Quiet elk in idaho panhandle

    I'm also in the Idaho Panhandle, and I had a bull bugling constantly yesterday. However, I faced the same dilemma as you last year. I only heard elk one time. My guess would be that you are in an area where wolves are prevalent, and they are staying quiet. The place I was in yesterday has...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    About 15 years ago, my parents and I wanted to fish a high mountain lake, and we decided to camp at the end of an old logging road. We weren't too far off a major forest service road, and a bunch of old roads branch off of it. We heard some people shooting below us about a half mile or so, but...

    Idaho Hunting Fees 2021 Non Resident (Big Elk Increase)

    I fundamentally agree with what you say. I would add, though, that as Americans we are free to live wherever we want. I have lived in Idaho my whole life. I could have easily moved to Washington or Oregon or California after college because all of those states have higher wages, but I chose...

    Scarpa R-evolution trek GTX

    I got the boots today and started wearing them around the house. Like you said, they are a bit narrow in the toe area. My left boot seems to fit better than the right; maybe my right foot is weird. The only issue I've noticed so far is a little pressure on the outside, bottom of my right foot...

    High-end boots that fit like UA

    So, I live in a place where I can't simply walk in a try on a pair of high end boots without driving a 100 miles. I don't mind ordering online and returning, but I would like to narrow down the search a little. I own a pair of UA Wallhangers that fit well, but they are falling apart, and they...

    Scarpa R-evolution trek GTX

    I just ordered the leather, Made in Italy version of the R-Evolution that is on sale on STP. I sent back a pair of La Sportivas because they were too tight in the toe box. I'm hoping I don't have the same issue with the Scarpas.

    OTC elk recommendations

    Being a former English teacher, this cracked me up. I don't know how many times I've read a typed paper and thought, "This person must be typing on a red background not to be able to see all the underlined words."

    Solo Elk Hunting in Grizzly Country

    The place I was hunting wasn't that far from Deer Ridge Lookout. It was in the Purcell Range. About 10 years ago, a bear hunter was killed after a grizzly attack on the other side of Deer Creek drainage, near the Montana border. He had mistakenly shot the grizzly, thinking it was a black bear...

    Solo Elk Hunting in Grizzly Country

    I live and hunt in unit 1, and I hunt alone often. I have mostly been hunting with my father-in-law during bow season in the last few years, though. Two years ago a walked back an obliterated Forest Service road alone in a place known for bears, and I came upon what looked like an ungulate...

    Sitka patterns

    I don't own any Sitka stuff, but like you, I thought about buying some of the waterfowl designed pieces because of price. The thing that turned me away from that was reading somewhere about function. Think about how you will be hunting. Most of the waterfowl pieces are designed to be used...

    Elknut playbook help

    I have his videos and the app. I really like the app because of the record feature. Also, if I am away from home and have a few spare minutes, I can read the tactics portion of the app. The videos go into more depth than the app, but the app is more user friendly. Plus, with more practice...

    Elk Calling/Hunting Podcast Series!

    This is great--thanks. I have your app and your videos. I appreciate a fellow Idahoan sharing elk hunting knowledge. Many people would not be willing to share as much as you have over the years.

    Hunting someone elses stand

    I have left cameras on public land on wallows, but never a stand. I would not feel slighted by someone hunting where I had set up my camera--public land is designed to be shared. If I saw someone else's stand, I would feel weird using it and just leave it alone. I would expect someone to do...

    Corey Jacobsen's bugles instantly neuter every bull in a half-mile radius.

    Corey Jacobsen/Chuck Norris

    Corey Jacobsen doesn't need a bow, he just points his finger at an elk and says, "You!," and it falls over dead.
