Agreed. if it counted against both the child/grandparent i'd be ok with it but it doesn't. i think trying to reduce the abuse is the key. either make it count against both or make the person that drew accompany the child so 90 year old granny isn't applying but if mom and dad are applying and...
I'm sure this will cause some debate and contention but hell it will help pass the time till the draw results come out! Idaho is asking for public comments on many issues. One being the rule that allows parents/grandparents to give an OIL tag to their kid/grandkid. I am personally against...
Most if not all the IDFG biologists I know that hunt and that have drawn OIL tags don't even hardly know how to use the old licensing system let alone would have the ability to hack into the draw system to see numbers of applications. The front office people are the ones that are skilled at the...
its funny that so many people think there are conspiracies in all states over game and fish employees drawing more tags.....it can't be that they actually understand their own states system better than the average weekend warrior hunter and so they know what units have better odds and know not...
if they stick to their regs and every one will be notified by mail by June 10th they are cutting it real close. mail will take 3-5 days to be delivered to most people by Saturday. I'm not holding my breath though. This contractor sucks!
yes you can hunt the OTC areas of the state with your tag. the OTC areas are lower success and you probably won't find a ram near as good as you should in 28. good luck on your hunt.
years past it would be this week(last year it was the 17th). But its a new contractor this year that had problems with the bear and turkey draws so I'm not holding my breath for this week.
I've used the Montana decoy on a NM archery hunt and it worked....OK. I didn't scare them off but it didn't really help me get in much closer than 75ish yards. i think as others have said if you wait for rut action a decoy is more useful. i don't think they can hurt tho during non rutting...
NM, UT, NV, WY, CO. ID resident but won't chase mulies here till they rebound a little more. wish IDFG wouldn't allow 2nd buck tags for a few years to get some age classes back!
Congrats!!! i used to live in Deming and stared at that mountain a lot looking at ibex. there are lots of ibex and finding them from the bottom isn't the problem. I guarantee that that rock pile is unlike anything you have ever seen I know of several guys that shot a billy and were unable to...
It did! my buddy posted some pics of the country on the write up I did on rokslide. same story is posted on the sheep forum here as well but if you want to see some pics of the country here is the link to the rokslide post...
yep will be interesting to see what happens in that unit with another limit on tags. I hunted it last year for sheep and had a deer tag and never saw a deer I'd be willing to pull out of there but I wasn't hunting in November. good luck I know they have killed some tanks in the past in there.
split the skull cap, pad all the points, zip tie antlers together, wrap in plastic wrap, hand to airline baggage handler, pick up at your final destination at the oversized luggage window. freeze your cape solid or pack with dry ice and again check as baggage. much cheaper than shipping fed ex
