I’m hoping someone can help me with this. I am new to muzzleloaders and just picked up a .50 cal Knight Ultralite that is Idaho legal. I have been shooting 400+ grain PowerBelts with 80-90 grains of Triple 7 powder and the grouping is terrible. I have been looking into other bullet options and...
This thread is directed towards those of you familiar with Idaho Unit 1. I live down in the SE corner of Idaho and am new to hunting black bears. I made an attempt last year in eastern Idaho and also in the Boise area, only seeing one sow who hadn't shed her 2 cubs yet. A small group of friends...
Like the title says, I am hoping to find an individual or group who would be willing to team up for Idaho spring bear this year. I aim to hunt around the Boise area and I am located in SE Idaho, but I am flexible with hunting location. Shoot me a PM if interested.
I would like to hear any stories you guys or gals might have about legitimate trespassing encounters, as well as individuals claiming public land as their own and how the situation was handled. I read about a couple of experiences on various misc threads and found the subject interesting...
Just got back from a scouting trip where I hiked in 4 miles only to find small groups of cattle spread throughout the area, even up at higher elevations (for the region). Does anyone here have some knowledge of cattle and their effect on elk habits/habitat? I found some older rubs and whatnot...

I am relatively new to backpacking and am going to be chasing elk for 10 days in Central Idaho during late September. I have slowly gathered my gear together and my question is this. How many pounds should my pack weigh, including food, for this trip? Also, would it be better to split the gear...
Hi all,
I have spent a lot of time lurking on this site and figured I would introduce myself. I am a recent transplant to SE Idaho from Utah. I grew up hunting birds and fishing, but wasn't really involved in big game hunting. I finally have the time to chase some elk and mule deer and have...
