Will Black Bear Effect Elk and Deer?
In the fall I have seen a bear feeding within a few yards of cow and calf elk. In contrast I find hooves in the stools of bears in the spring. -

Idaho fall bear units
Fall bear hunt is a totally different game compared to hunting bears in the spring. In the spring you are trying to figure out the snow melt off and waiting for access to the good spots. The fall is just the opposite. You want to hit the ground running before the berries disappear and you want...- Nambaster

One that got away
I guess I should have mentioned that the 16 yr old shooter was 80 yards in front of me between the bear and I. I am not sure what his angle was. I was on a hillside watching from above while he descended and crossed a river to get within 75 yards of the bear.- Nambaster

One that got away
After harvesting both my Idaho spring bears, I brought a friend and his 16 yr old son to a spot where I had regularly seen bears. We spotted a small black bear and went back and forth on whether the 16 yr old wanted to harvest him. By the time he had decided to give it a shot we were unable to...- Nambaster

Adding Solar panels and Backup batteries to my home
MarvB‘s questions are spot on. I would make sure that you have in writing that all labor and service calls are warranted by the installation company. If that is not the case if you end up with any components that go out (even if under manufacturer warranty) you don’t want to end up having to...- Nambaster

Adding Solar panels and Backup batteries to my home
In Idaho I sell and install solar. The net metering program in Idaho makes it a no brainer. Its a very logical transition. I was paying $90/month to Idaho Power and now I pay $60/ to a solar finance company. As far as batteries go I still haven’t gotten any of those. I am currently grid tied...- Nambaster

Bronco beater.
I have owned 2 XJ’s and 2 MJ’s (Comanche) they were great vehicles and I knew them inside and out, but fords new offering with Dana 44’s front and rear with locking differentials is going to be pretty dang tough to beat. I would have to read more about the resurrection of the XJ to be convinced...- Nambaster

Solo guy needs your thoughts?
One thing that puts me at peace in grizzly country is the fact that I have life insurance...😂 If I get mauled or devoured by a bear, I hope that my passing will encourage the federal delisting of the species and finally enable them to be hunted. Becoming bear scat would save my family from... -

Whitetail Salmon Idaho
The Whitetail stick pretty heavily to private land. They like the agricultural areas. Why not just buy a general season tag instead of isolate yourself to Whitetail? The mule deer are abundant. Where you have access to private river bottom land and you came on here saying “I have no idea where... -
Cow Elk Hunting Tactics
One major thing that I would point out about a cow elk hunt is that you will likely find them herded up in late season hunts. Be sure to pick out one specific cow elk and concentrate your fire on that one cow elk. Flock shooting or shooting at multiple cow elk is a definite no no. Often a hit... -

Meat scientist Dr. Chris Calkins on Meateater
I agree with all the input regarding the podcast. My take away is to not bone out elk anymore.- Nambaster

Idaho unit 46 OTC
Be sure to donate to the access yes fund. It looks like there is plenty of access and the game is catching them where they are not supposed to be. -
Advanced trail riders advice welcome
That is some good input and the video is pretty awesome. It is especially cool that he helps that dude out of the wash. Oreana is a great place to recreate. The single track that I was on hobbles along cliff sides and it is scary for sure.- Nambaster
