    Good for you Botswana

    I am a trophy hunter and proud of it. As a kid on my first hunt I shot a doe and it was a trophy. My sons first deer was a doe when he was 8. that was a trophy to both of us. I actually tanned the hide and we still have that doe hide. I have probably 30 mounts? and countless just deer and elk...

    Good for you Botswana

    When I hunt and dont eat coyotes and prairie dogs am I trophy hunting? Do you eat coyotes? Wait! are we both trophy hunters? 😂 Is the criteria for a "trophy" hunt solely not personally eating the meat?

    Judging size of a bear

    only reliable way is to ground check them. Shoot first ask questions later. just kidding sort of. I have taken some nice bears but I have definitely misjudged a few. I agree with watch as long as you can, rushed shots haven't been good decisions for me. Every really big bear I have shot I...

    Wolves in Nevada???

    Thats the problem most hunters have with any predator, they need to be managed. Most hunters wont complain about predators if they are PROPERLY managed. Think about the increase in your lion population since they outlawed dogs(the only effective way to manage cats). 52 deer per year per lion...

    Time to play politics. Help me move these rule changes through the process at IDFG.

    Seriously I was in the same boat and had apllied at least 20 years for moose. Until a few years ago I owned a fairly large parcel of land and saw great bulls every year while hunting deer and elk. I put in for that same unit every year and thought I should just change my name to Not Selected.I...

    Wolves in Nevada???

    Sarcasm I assume. Just wait for Colorado PUBLIC land elk numbers in 5-10 years. Elk numbers will be drastically reduced and a much larger percentage of the elk will be down on private and close to town etc. look at Idaho wilderness units and lolo zone elk numbers-pre and post wolves. I dont...

    Time to play politics. Help me move these rule changes through the process at IDFG.

    I understand where you are coming from But! I hate the idea of number 2. We actually have some Big Three tags with double digit odds right now. When I finally drew my Idaho moose permit the odds were over 60 percent. I also put in for moose for 20 years but finally made the decision to put in...

    Idaho -Frank Church Elk (Middle Fork Zones)

    i hunted mule deer in there and saw some elk. I have never been so gratefull not to have an elk tag😂. However far you think you could normally pack an elk, limit yourself to at least half that distance.

    Not on Your Bucket List

    the turkey slam. travelling state to state to shoot turkeys has no appeal. I usually do shoot a turkey every spring in Idaho but we are infested in my area. Its more of a depredation hunt😂 Every year I have less desire to even shoot one around where I live. Second is coues deer. Basically a...
