    Idaho fall bear units

    Any recommendations for bear this fall in Idaho? My son and I are going out mule deer hunting and if we happen to tag out early( we’re not being picky as it is his first trip out west) we may pick up a bear tag and switch areas. Now I’m going to use the standard statement given in this type of...

    Hunt the opener or no?

    I know there will be some economic consequences for recent events but hopefully things will shake out, at least partially, by this fall. The good news for me is the trip is already paid for, license and tags, car rental and flight vouchers. Just have to decide on which week. Like the idea of...

    Hunt the opener or no?

    My oldest son and I are heading to idaho for mulies. We’re more than likely going to get an OTC license but will put in for a draw hunt first( controlled hunt). I’ve only hunted the opener there the last 2 times I went and wondered if there are those that wait for later in the season to hunt and...

    Deer are tough animals

    I shot a buck a few years ago who must have been hit by a car. Shot him running in the timber and didn’t know he was a half rack till I walked up to him dead. His entire right side was busted off except 1.5 inch of the base. The skull had broken along with it and was cracked open almost like a...

    How many deer on average do you see per hunting day?

    Mostly hunt private land in Pa , will see 10-15 per day. I’m not an all day sit type hunter though, I like to move and still hunt. In rifle season we were seeing upwards of 20+ a day, mostly doe, we need to be a little more aggressive on our doe hunting.

    Idaho Controlled Units

    I spoke with a biologist last year and he actually made the suggestion that I get him an elk tag too. That is odd.

    Idaho Controlled Units

    Looking for higher odds deer, not necessarily high trophy potential. My son’s first trip to the mountains, so any deer other than a forkie would be good but would like him to have the opportunity to see plenty of animals. This will be a rifle hunt, and yes it would be nice to get an OTC tag...

    Idaho Controlled Units

    For those of you more familiar with Idaho( I've hunted around the Pahsimeroi and Salmon) where would be an area you would focus in on for trying to draw on a controlled hunt? I'm taking my teenage son with me that will be backpacking with me and has gotten bigger and stronger faster than I ever...

    Montana black bear

    dn’t draw deer but my 11 year old son can still try for a buck on an apprentice license. I’m gonna get a bear tag so I’m not just a gun caddy. Any general areas I should focus on? We’re hunting SE for deer first and since this is his first deer hunt we won’t be picky and our plan is then head to...

    Who here uses trekking poles?

    As a side note, I use a tent that it’s design is centered around using the trekking poles at the tent poles. Using them anyway so my 2 man tent only weighs 3 pounds. It’s a river Country Products tent.

    Who here uses trekking poles?

    Hit the big “four O” this year and by no means consider myself old or even getting there, but would be straight lying if I said my knees feel as good as they ever have. Always used to have bullet proof ankles too, but have sprained them a few times in the last 2 years. I like using poles...

    Mummy bag and bivy sack

    Planning a backpacking trip for elk this fall, two years ago froze to death in a too small bag. I’m 6’4” 225, bigger shoulders and chest so the tightness of the average bag lends to poor sleep. What brand would any of you look at? Have an opportunity on a long wiggy ultralight 0 degree bag. Any...

    JES Rebore or Rebarrel? 338-06 or 35 Whelen?

    Check the rifling if it’s ok, the chamber may be eroded and that is where you are losing your accuracy. A competent gunsmith could set the barrel back and you would be back in business. That being said if you are looking for something different I have used JES and the results were excellent.

    Tikka T3 Lite SS with a B & C upgrade?

    I've owned a few tikkas, most accurate rifles I have ever owned. Could never quite get past the overall look, just something I couldn't get used to, but as far as function they are the top in my book( no offence to howa, never owned one). So I can see why you are looking to restock it, but as...

    Brand new users asking for unit and draw advice.... conversation -

    I know I have been very thankful for the help I’ve gotten on this site. People really stepped up and helped when info was needed. I have hunted Canada, pa, ny, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and idaho and have to say Wyoming draw process is the most confusing. Their website does not have the user...

    Wyoming Mule Deer/Pronghorn combo

    I think this is the conclusion I am coming to. Try to accumulate points for deer then go for Pronghorn. My October hunts out west with my son will be short lived as he loves football and can only blow off for a week for a couple more years before it gets more serious in senior high. Need to do...
