My week in the hills ended without anything to fill the freezer with. It was an incredible time with plenty of animal sightings while not always in the right place at the right time. A couple of day trips are probably in my future and I will hopefully stumble into one of the bulls I had...
Yesterday was a day to check a lot of area. I have not hunted this unit much at all so Yesterday was an education session. I did see a few does but nothing overly exciting for sign.
Day 3, today, started with excitement that continued to build on the 1 mile stroll into a decent looking spot...
Well... I have been fairly absent around here for quite a while. It seemed there was not enough time to hunt much at all with life's happenings that keep us plenty busy. So, this year I carved out some time to hit the Idaho hills and figured why not post about it when I have cell service. No...
I was listening to that depressing game from hunt camp. Went to bed shortly before half as I am not used to my Vandals losing much the last couple of years. Kudos to the Cats.
Communication is not what it used to be. Most people today won't pick up a phone or even answer an email or text, even after the communication line has been opened. It is very frustrating that busy people such as yourself have to babysit others if something needs to be done. You certainly did...
Witnessed and reported lots of friggin poachers. Bald eagles, swans, snow geese out of season all shot, off duty cop shooting from the road and trespassing, fishing overlimits, a meth lab at a fishing site, spotlighting, hunting in a closed area, etc. Just a small snippet of what I ran across as...
Born and raised in Boise and here currently. Have lived all over Idaho. I for one would never live in Rexburg unless I was LDS. Idaho Falls is close enough to Rexburg and is a bit better but we left partly because my 1st and 3rd grader at the time were already being uninvited from birthday...
I am a size 14 and wear Keens. I believe they are the Durand also have another pair for antelope hunting- targhees. Disclaimer* I don't endorse SOME of that companies ventures in the outdoor world but they fit my flat huge feet nicely and I get a pro deal. So... Why not use em if they feel...
It was dusk but not dark travelling along the interstate near Donner Pass. We were travelling East bound and movement was caught on the far side of the west bound lanes. This thing sprinted across the west bound lanes and in stride went over the jersey barriers dividing the lanes then in another...
Here is what Idaho requires to file a claim: access to or through the property by hunters unless it impedes business operations. That sure should be beefed up.
q Claimant notifies IDFG within 72 hours of discovering crop damage caused by deer, elk, pronghorn or moose.
q Claimant notifies...
Like the song... I am a believer... and a witness. Happened in the Sierras. No human nor bear can be that tall and hairy with running capabilities my father and I witnessed. They are out there.
I used to work for the Ag dept. here in Idaho. Needed 4 additional new ATV's in a pinch so we went with Polaris since the price was so low we didn't have to bid. Biggest mistake ever. Our Honda's dealt with ag fields without a hiccup. Polaris's were in the shop with bad brakes, carb problems...
Howdy from another Boisean. Good place to start hunting is really anywhere in Idaho. Not a bad spot in my opinion and I have lived all over this state but have returned to my birthplace in the treasure valley. There is a gun range out towards the prison but quite a few people just shoot on...
I use my green mountain, a dehydrator and oven as i usually make large batches. i like the smokiness but all 3 methods produce incredible results. Have fun.
I was actually wrong it is Bennett Lumber property and in unit 8 off of the highway from Moscow to Deary. Don't know if they allow hunting any longer but their land was always great for finding deer. Thanksgiving week was always great with rutting activity.
When I was going to school up there I always did really well behind the game wardens house near Deary. Small chunk of state land if I remember right. Good luck.
