I am IOS and I will exclusively use basemaps because OnX charges by State. As much as I go between Idaho,Wyoming and Utah BaseMaps does the trick with one subscription instead of 3. BaseMaps was 3D way before OnX.
Coming from Utah, I must say Idaho has over the counter elk opportunity coming out the wazoo! The Boise zone, Mcall Zone, and Weiser River A tags are the equivalent of limited entry tags in Utah. The nice thing about Idaho is you can kill an over the counter bull every year.
In Utah you are...
Geo Bomb incident.
I once pulled into a spot to start hunting and as I was walking from my 1996 geo metro, I reached in my pockets to confirm that I had the keys. Upon discovering that my pockets were vacant, I panicked and ran towards my egg shaped hatchback. There on the seat, I could see my...
The best way to find rams in the unit is to hike and listen for rocks sliding or falling. Your rams like to intentionally kick rocks down the hill at times. It’s as steep as any terrain gets out there.
Has anyone ever held out for a blonde bear? Seems kinda ridiculous right? When I watched guys talking about the color phase Grand Slam I kinda start to feel a little petty. I do have a cinnamon, chocolate,black w/black face, and black w/brown face. I have to be realistic and admit that Glacier...
I was sold a Weatherby Vanguard as if it were a magic bean with magic beanstalk potential. It was used and the seller wanted to trade me for a single shot 204 Ruger. He told me you could put any .308 caliber round in the chamber and it would shoot sub moa and hold 2 inches high of zero at 100...
Bears are awake in Idaho! I went out yesterday and spotted a reddish brownish one out browsing the grass. I put a mock stalk on him and got within shooting range and gave him some space. I told myself that I really wanted a blonde one this year but reddish brownish sure was pretty. Looks like we...
I have a Zoleo device and my friend texts me with an Garmin Inreach. I noticed that I was getting machine gun texts from the Garmin at 3:00 in the morning and they were the exact same text message. “I can hear a bear in the trees below me but I can’t see it” I had a friend from out of town come...
You drew a non resident bear tag in Utah? You are in Montana? You’ll be driving through or past bears in your home state in order to get to a less dense population of bears in Utah. I helped a friend hunt elk in the Manti in 2020 and we came across plenty of bear sign. All the sign that I found...
I lived in Utah and I have 3 bear points. After moving to Idaho I just laugh at those points every year that I put in for different Utah hunts. When it comes to bears, Utah doesn’t compare to Idaho. Just buy an over the counter tag in Idaho and shooting a bear in Idaho is comparable to shooting...
I definitely wouldn’t mind having some bears go missing here in Idaho. I am here in Idaho and I say come to Idaho. I regularly find hooves inside of bear scat, so I don’t object to you reducing our population of bears. The pandemic last year yielded a lot of free time and with that free time, I...
