Fair enough. However, the opportunity to move to IF has came up for the field I’m in. Just trying to gain knowledge, we plan on visiting soon. Thanks!
In need of advice/help to convince my wife to move to Idaho Falls area, it’s gonna be an uphill battle. I’ve done lots of research of the area, but didn’t know if some HT members have some local knowledge that might help. Thanks!
Just the opinion I wanted! Haha I’ve been debating that also. Really appreciate it! Everyone says buy the best glass you can afford, but is there really that big of a difference in the new Vx3HD vs the Vx5HD? Right now I have a 4x12 vortex diamondback on my rifle
300-350 yards. I’m green when it comes to rifle hunting. I’ve been in the archery kick for 12 years and all my rifle hunting experience has been out of deer blinds in the Midwest. Last 5 years I’ve been going on archery hunts out west, but going to start doing some rifle hunts out there. I just...
Looking for some more experienced rifle shooters input, I’ve only really rifle hunted out of a blind. I’m contemplating if I should get a bipod or just shoot from my bag like I’ve been doing. I know there are pros and cons to both (like everything). Also, I keep reading more about a rear bag to...
I’ve experienced both, spot and stalk and bait. Both have pros and cons. For bait, I generally know the bears coming in and can judge them off pictures, my bait is set at 20-25yds (archery), I have a whole month to hunt them. Con is hauling bait everyday or two back to my spots, lots of work in...
I was in your same shoes last year, I had some tips from HT members and research I did. My group of 3 went out May 24-30 in western MT. There was still snow in the high basins. All my research showed to follow the melting snow line, we tried this for several days and never saw a bear. Changed...
Thanks for the help. Will probably stick to same area in MT as last year. We had luck there, just was intrigued by the two tags in Idaho and not much further of a drive.
Noticed there are several units in Idaho that reduced NR tag cost for bear. Was wondering if anyone had any insight as to why they reduced the tag cost? Are there that many bears in these units to justify two tags now? Was headed to MT for spring bear, but might consider ID now with the two tags...
Headed back to SW Montana for spring bear (May 28-June 4) and looking to extend the trip for a few days on the front end. Looking for suggestions for a turkey hunt, was looking at SD Black Hills (Montana closes Mid May.) Is three days enough to get it done or am I stretching my luck? I've hunted...
Haha I second this! Did this last spring and my hunting buddies (they have never hunted) were mfing' me the entire time. Finally we dropped lower and started seeing bears on closed roads.....this year we will be going back and hunting the lower elevations.
Hunting high country in spring sounds...
