Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy
I try to give a few the benefit of the doubt. I get it. If you're not from around here a two track can be considered a road. This was ridiculous. They drove around the sign saying it was closed and motored across open sagebrush. This wasn't a case of confusion. It's blatant don't care let's get... -

Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy
I was just trying to make sure they knew the deer was there. Did you miss the part where they were on a closed road. They had to off road through sagebrush to even get to that old dozer line. They were 2/3 of a mile from the closest trail... I've seen the "Who cares I'll just pay the fine."... -

Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy
It used to be 5 to 10 percent of nonresident hunters made the rest look bad. Lately it seams like 90 percent make the rest look bad. Let me describe opening day of deer in my area. I've hunted the same unit religiously since I was 13. That's 25 years now. Before sunrise I parked my 4 wheeler... -

Sometimes it's not just for you
That greatly depends on the kid. Flares are fairly easy to light. But once they are lit you're not going to get them out. So be careful letting a kid have them. Plus once they light it's literally a 2900 degree object. Easy to get burned badly. It's up to you. Maybe look for one that lights...- Firedude

Sometimes it's not just for you
I carry the 10 minute marine ones as they're more water resistant. I like those little ones though. I remember the exact situation when I decided to start carrying them. I was crossing a creek in November on an elk hunt. The ice gave way. I ended up slipping and falling on my side in 8 inches...- Firedude

Sometimes it's not just for you
Crazy thing happened today. Weather called for possible light rain. I'm 2 miles up a draw and it starts pouring rain. By the time I got my rain gear out I was already wet. No biggie. Spare drys in the pack. Not wanting to end my hunt (as i do if i have nothing dry.) I just hunker down under a...- Firedude

Idaho Super Hunt Combo 2023
Right. The only thing I can think to compare it to is if you won a free astrophotography setup of your choosing, custom built telescope, and an observatory on your property. They need all your specific details because everything will be custom made for you next week. Up to $100,000 You probably...- Firedude

Idaho Super Hunt Combo 2023
I'm sure write ups are soon to come But as most of us would expect he's working his ass off on these tags. If he's not at work he's hiking, hunting, scouting, researching, calling hints, searching out hot spots, etc. All you guy's that have given him input is greatly appreciated. He might not...- Firedude

Podcast on wounding
I was discussing this thread and the topic in general with a friend today. I mentioned I'm not a fan of the notch if you draw blood thing. His reply was that he understands my perspective because he's been with me for 3 days until we found a badly hit deer. Then salvaged as much meat as...- Firedude

Arrow not breaking the spine?
Yes it can happen. The spinal cord runs on top of the vertebrae. Not through it like most people think. Sounds more like to me a high lung or void hit and smacked a rib on the opposite side. I've tracked a few of those that took a while to see blood. Sometimes a few hundred yards. Start marking... -

IDF&G Shed Season Public Comments
Commented. Close it off. 2 years in a row if watched wildlife run off by snowmachines as soon as a big buck or bull sheds. As soon as the sun comes up and they see that critter bald, "BraaaaaAAAAp." Right towards the herd. -

Idaho Dream Season.
I don't have any of that bull. I should have mentioned that was green score and no clue how much he shrunk drying. He didn't want pics taken. Which I try to respect. He stopped by the cabin after and we measured it twice. The tines on my shed are 18 to 24 inches for reference. The next year he...- Firedude

Idaho Dream Season.
Oh I see some of you are laughing, that's ok have your laugh. I know I've bent over backwards to help an out of stater find a 400 bull one a 1000/1 odds tag in a unit I have hunted my whole life. That bull elk measured 409. Don't make fun of locals. We know where to go. I knew what that tag...- Firedude

Idaho Dream Season.
Just an update. My buddy is hunting his butt off. He's seeing some maybe shooter moose. But he's holding strong for a nice one. Seen a few deer and elk but taking his time. I'm sure in the next month this threads going to see some pics. Until then, if you see something that you say, "man I wish...- Firedude

unit 61 elk
Drew the Nov. Muzzleloader tag for 61. Interested to hear how your hunt goes because I'm right after you. P.M. would be better for discussion on places. I used to hunt that area a decade ago. My info might be outdated. But I used to see a few big bulls in Oct. I'll happily share if you... -

Custom Recurve feedback?
Thanks for all the replies. I'll try to get back to you individually later. Final question. Kids bows? Believe it or not a lot of my requests are for bows for kids. Yeah the idea of dropping that kind of cash on a youth bow is surprising. But some of my 20 year old bows are now getting recycled...
