    2023 Garden!

    The snow is just now melting off the raised beds. The night temps are still going into the teens and the day temps are barely getting above freezing. I've still got 2 months before I can think about planting. This never ending winter is just about to get to us. It snowed off and all most of the...

    I HAVE HAD ENOUGH

    We've had snow on the ground since Halloween. Had 6" in the yard most of the winter at 5,000 ft elevation. It has slowly went down until last Friday with 6" of new wet stuff. Temps have been anywhere below 0 to single digits night time temps all winter. Days temps have varied from 0 to 40's...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    Looks like Idaho Fish and Game has made up my mind. They changed the cow hunt we've been doing from 2500 tags to 500 tags. It'll be a better more quiet hunt but getting a tag will be a free for all now. So won't be doing any elk hunting other than depredation hunts now. They met their objective...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    It's a GREAT DAY!!! We have RUNNING WATER and sunshine that hit the well house at the foundation and 80 degrees inside the well house. There is nothing better in this world than HOT RUNNING WATER!!! We think we figure out the problem will have it fixed in the spring when it melts and thaws the...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    The money is good but you earn it. You get addicted to the fire call just like the old fire horses did. Good times for all. Froze up the water yesterday morning. Going to call in someone today and see what can be done. I feel like I'm back on the lookout hauling water. Just wish we had the...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    Mostly a fire lookout, with some wild land fire fighting 40 years worth. Enough to know being a lookout and telling people where and how to get there was better than being on the ground and dirty. 😉 -22 here this morning and about 8" or so snow on the ground. Think we got up to 6 or so today...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    WesternWyoming or visa versa here in central Idaho. How's it going this morning? Looked at the webcams for Wyoming yesterday and it wasn't pretty or nice looking over there. Looked like about every road was closed. Stay warm and safe until this is over. Glad I don't own a lot of cows in Wyoming...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    Been back into Physical Therapy for a month now. The shoulder is coming along slowly. The small tear is slowly healing. Don't have much strength for lifting straight up yet which is okay keeps me from doing something stupid. Washed windows a couple days ago and the muscles told me I did too...

    Hobbies other than hunting?

    Big Bore, nice leather working. I've tooled leather since high school. Don't do much now too many years of tooling has caused the left thumb to have arthritis so holding a leather tool is quite painful for the first day when I start a project. I garden but can't call it a hobby as it's to grow...

    Christmas presents for wife

    Yep most of you are so clueless. We quit the xmas madness. We buy what we NEED. But this year I went and got a Ninja Foodi Smart XL toaster oven. It's great. Then we ended up buying a Smart TV to get the extra channel we didn't know about. Just been informed a UTV we ordered 11 months ago...

    I miss the old days

    I miss my dad. I miss my youth and the innocence of being the young hunter. I don't know how to use half the electronic stuff that is out there. I know how to read a paper map and pick out landmarks. 40 years a fire lookout. Everyone wants quick and easy. I've been in canyons that GPS' don't...

    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    270Rose, did you get anything this season? I did get a nice buck, but the first day of the elk hunt I fell coming off the mountain and face planted. Other half said I looked like a tree I teetered and tottered then slowly went over. Hit the new shoulder and felt a good sting. Then 2 days later...

    …

    Rabbitslayer78, you want the truth or a feel good story? The truth is the deer are still building the bigger bucks are all in the same age class. Nothing real big and glorious. If next season is like '22 was you're going to pull your hair out. It was a shit show. The world descended to that...

    What brings you luck?

    Never had much good luck with even numbered years. Also the same with buying new pickups. Odd numbered years seem to have better luck.

    Rotator cuff surgery

    Ok all you big bad guys. Do you realize how much damage you are doing by NOT getting your shoulder fixed in the right amount of time? I did a mild frontal dislocation in 2000. Waited the summer to get it repaired. The doc tightened it too much so had to go back in and have the bone ground off...

    Plans for 2023

    Just hoping to be healthy to go hike and hunt. Not be greedy and try to hunt the world. I enjoy my state and have only ever hunted it for big game. Find that one of kind of rock Rockhounders dream of. Would like to draw an antelope tag before I die. I've given up on Moose.

    Salmon, ID (Unit 30) Elk

    With an atmospheric river starting tonight I sure wouldn't be coming in in late November. If we get a lot of moisture on the Moose fire there is going to be a lot of slides possibly into the road you may not be going anywhere. There is no best time or perfect time to hunt elk outside of the rut...

    Idaho Fires=Heads up Hunters

    Ross Fork Fire is headed towards Galena Summit Lodge. Everyone in that area is suppose to be ready to evacuate at a moments notice. If the winds will stop these fires should drop down and start creeping along the ground. The winds have been terrible last 3 days.
