Perhaps this is a “controversial” view point but Elk herds seem to do pretty decent in areas with wolves in Yellowstone, Canada, etc. I think that Mother Nature will find a balance if we allow that to happen. During the first 10plus years of Wolves repopulating I think the Elk were “Wolf dumb”...
I get that I was very specific and also can joke and flip shit with the best of them. I’m just not down to babysit or find myself chasing elk in unforgiving places with guys who “want” to hunt but give up when the going gets a little tough. My thought was to be as forward as possible so as not...
Thank you for your honest response and best wishes toward luck. I appreciate that. I also wish you success and a great season. Thankfully there’s at least one guy out there that can respect trying ones best.
Well, I was excited to see 9 replies. Not so much after reading them. I guess this is why I hunt solo. Perhaps my honesty and expectations are a bit too high for most. I go hunting to hunt, and harvest, and enjoy the effort I put out. Maybe someone who takes their hunting seriously will see...
Hi All- I’m looking for a serious archer to join me for September in the mountains of North Idaho. I’m looking for a very serious experienced woods wise fella who is ready to bow hike up to 100s of miles, pack 100lb packs uphill for 2500 vertical feet, sleep on the ground if necessary, and work...
Good day Papaed-
I’m also looking for an Idaho hunt/fish partner. I’ve lived in the Spokane Coeur d Alene area for a good portion of my life. I moved to Oregon for a decade and having moved back to the N Idaho area have lost my previous partners. They’ve moved away or partake in things I’m not...
Dare I say that the Wolf reintroduction process is still FAR to young to have reached an Environmental equilibrium? I’m not “pro-wolf” per se but I am “pro nature” and I greedily would love to have a Million Elk in our state! But, that is not realistic, and they would literally just eat...
Inciweb site is pretty descent also. I’m biting my fingernails daily wondering what sections of forest are going to be closed and when? For the 1st time ever, I have the whole month of September to Elk hunt and am nervous about fire closures- I haven’t even chosen my zone yet for fear that the...
As “bad” as this may sound on the surface level, I’m right here with you! It’s what everyone needs, especially the Elk! It would be great to see about 50k-200k acres burn in small chunks all over the Panhandle
Now over 100k acres- I will say that even though these fires suck and are terrible, those hillsides will be SOOO Green next Spring. Sounds crazy but that break country was meant to burn regularly to regenerate. Us humans caused the problems by stopping ALL fires for 100yrs. and allowing the...
Those nice hearty shiny smooth green leaves that come in bunches of threes look great to wipe with!! Until you or others learn that the favorite preferred place for poison Ivy is along stream banks, especially out west in drier climates! I’d almost rather wipe withe a cactus- Almost!
Pisses me off! There’s obviously jack holes out there that DONT DESERVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO PUBLIC LAND!! They demonstrate that they have Zero respect for others. The worst of it is it is usually these type aholes who give ALL hunters a bad rep. They’re the minority thank goodness but still bums...
Lincoln is awesome- hopefully this bear doesn’t have the same idea as the recent near in Ovando MT that tried to eat a camper. Poor gal from CO got pulled out of her tent and killed right outside of town
