    Thinking about 2nd dog

    I think most guys want the dogs to learn good things from each other but most of the time they learn to compeate for points and bust points. My Idea on replacements is every 5 to 6 years a guy should start a pup. That way you have a pup you are starting. You can get the pup into birds and work...

    Small Game Hunting Ethics

    In hunters ed, we are training people to use the right gun for the right animal. Use a deer rifle for deer, and bird gun for birds. BTW, a bird gun is a shotgun. I have allowed EVERY kid I take to shoot sitting birds if they want. This wet's the whistle for kids and they have success. After a...

    Moosie!

    The one I am talking about is the data from the harvest reports. It will give info on each sheep killed. Age, days hunted, horn length left and right, Circumference left and right, number of rings on each horn, kill year, and kill location. Ron

    Idaho Sage Grouse Numbers Up

    I don't think my counts were included on this. the counts are on routes. My area didn't have a route so part of my job was to make the routes. I did have historic records of the leks and all mine were up between 75% to 200% I saw the rough draft of this and while my counts were brought up they...

    Strategy to harvest Ruffed Grouse or other game birds

    How is the dog supposed to smell the bird with the wind at it's back? If the dog hunts into the wind the dog will find birds faster. The hardest part of bird hunting is finding them. Hunt into the wind for the dogs sake. Ron

    It is not the ranchers fault the range sucks!

    1-pointer, I realize that the lek areas are not brood areas. But the creeks and "wet" areas for the broods are in worse shape than the picture I showed you. Those areas for the most part are the south fork of cowedout cr. In the areas that sage is present. The grass undercover is gone. Sage...

    It is not the ranchers fault the range sucks!

    I got into a argument with my dad. He is a card carrying liberal retired welfare farmer-rancher. I told him about the ranchers grazing through the winter. The areas I see are WAY over grazed. I showed him this picture it was in December. He said the picture meant nothing. He said I would need...

    If I draw my deer tag I will be looking for a buck that will be in the 180's. If I draw my elk tag I will be looking for a Bull in the 350 range. If I draw for a pronghorn I want a buck over 80. But if I don't draw anything I will be looking to shoot more chukars than I did last year. Gretta...

    Idaho bird season proposals

    37, I sent several letters asking for another proposal. I would like to see the law changed about using rifles on forest grouse. This rule needs to be changed, and this is what I wrote to headquarters. So far nobody has returned a letter. Ron __________________________________________________...

    More on the ATV rule

    Here is a interesting problem with the ATV rule. Lets say the area you are in has the ATV rule in place for all hunting. Lets say you walk out to a corn field. You ask Mr farmer to hunt he says sure! Hop in the cab of this corn picker. I will give you a ride to the other end of the field...

    Russian Brown's

    jimmyd223, The hunters are able to take their own guns there. I think the hunts are 10 days but I might be wrong. In some cases Dan "the guy in the picture" goes with the hunters to make sure everything goes as planned. Ron
