    This one time at Elk camp…

    I had spotted a great opening morning public land bull the evening before in a glacier chute about a mile and a half further from my glassing point. Came out in the dark with a battle plan in my head for the morning. Morning comes and Im heading up the mountain above camp and as I crest the top...

    Black Bear, Wolf, Mt Lion calling - in Idaho grizzly country

    I think this is the best place for this. Due to a malfunction of the Idaho queue system I was unable to get an elk tag, but my buddy got his. Still wanting to go I will have a pocket full of predator tags. I have hunted Idaho for a number of years now and I am well aware where we are going is...

    Everyone is worried about internet forums…but what about them magazines?

    I am not going to say the publication but I just read an article and I will paraphrase so as not to narrow anything down, but this article goes on to say: “If you want to kill a trophy ****, go hunt over by the town of (redacted), and in this state go hunt by the town of blank. They’ve produced...

    Is the “lull” a bunch of bull?

    What do you think? My thought is, they don’t go home and hang out on the couch until the rut. They are still out there. Patterns may change but theres a lot of ramping up happening with sparring and sign posts, scrapes and rubs. So what do you think? Buncha lull***?

    Back to FNG?

    I was no WKR. And was but a spectator in the OGLD BOAL meme wars. But damn, back to FNG?

    Saddle set up- new rope diameter?

    I have a Hawk saddle, have used it as it came for a couple years now. I am looking to upgrade my ropes to smaller diameter (to fit better into the pouch I keep them in) the ropes that come with it are really thick and just to much to try to keep managed. What has anybody switched to? I dont want...

    2022 Rut Report?

    I know it’s a little early, but a guy can’t help but be excited for the hunter Christmas. October lull got me on my last stand. Have some up-ticked activity on licking branches but haven’t seen much else. Anyone seeing anything?

    Awesome trail cam pictures?

    Looked all around the forum trying to find an existing post, or where to put a new one. Seemed appropriate here. Lets see some of your best trail cam pictures! This is from one of my cameras. Turkey, a collared cow, a bull, and a whitetail buck all in the same picture. Quite the “Snow White”...

    Hunting: “a dying sport”?

    I was looking at the Idaho super hunt draw stats from 2005 til now. The increase of applicants was staggering. I don't recall exact numbers but the deer category was 4500 entries in 2005, 2021 had over 47,000. They say hunting is a dying sport. Statistics and analytics from whoever the talking...

    One item you wish you carried sooner?

    What is one item you now carry in your pack that you wish you would have though to carry years ago? Mine is a battery tester. They weigh/cost nothing. Don’t take batteries. And I know I have good ones to swap out in GPS etc. Used it chasing elk the other day and thought “this is genius to have”.

    Mt Lion hunting, no dogs, calling

    I need some help. I’ve hunted cats hard for 8 years, called in one to my knowledge but never saw it, just heard it. That was my first year and the first year they were open so I think it was as new being hunted as I was to hunting them. Since then I’ve upgraded my call library, sets are longer...

    SD Wolf Hunting

    Just saw yesterday that GFP took grey wolves off of the endangered species list. I know people have shot wolves periodically in the state. Probably more than are reported. Personally I have only cut tracks once in the Hills and never called one during a stand. Curious if others have seen/heard...

    Idaho Motorized Hunting restrictions?

    This will be my third year hunting Idaho. Ive moved around units to see where I like and find one I can get comfortable with. This year I have run into new rules, the Motorized Hunting. Personally, I think it is awesome. To many places have gates that people just go around anyways. Nothing worse...

    McCall Elk 2019

    I pulled the trigger. Got my McCall Elk B for this year. I’m curious though, I don’t see to many discussions about that zone. From my understanding there are a lot of wolves and some fires have done some damage in recent years. I’ve got a spot or two in mind. I know better than to ask for any...
