I guess the worst part will be the bird hunting. I don't think they have the chukar you do up north. A lot of quail, but seems you're a chukar hunter at heart. I know all about moving, the AF moved me out of Idaho this past July :mad: . Just need to make to most of it and press on. Good luck.
Anyone have any advice on this area. I've moved to AZ (military says move, I move. Like it or not). I usually hunt area 39 (2 for 2, 100% success) but I won't be able to make it up during that time. My last hopes of Elk hunting this year is to hunt the last week of Oct. Only problem is I...
Ovis,
I'v e only seen a small portion of the cockpit video. I'd love to see it all. You can shoot the file to [email protected].
Have you been out chukar hunting lately? I was out last night and got a couple chukar and a hun. This snow makes for some good hunting. We'll need to get...
Talk about a mishap at an airshow. Check out what the thunderchickens treated us to here at Mounatin Home. I was working during the show so needless to say my 12 hour shift turned into 19 hours real quick.
I e-mailed Moosie the pics so hopefully he can post them for me. Nice chunk of your...
Hitting the gym and going to try and quit chewing. I started last January and figure a year of a bad habit is good enough: but man do I enjoy a big fat chew in the morning. But I would like to have all/most of my teeth when I'm 60 (26 years away). And eeven if I had my teeth they would be the...
I hear Santa uses it as a marker beacon when his GPS goes tits up!
I used to drive a truck (80 Datsun) the same mustard yellow. Talk about losing cool points around campus, I would park in the South 40 so I would'nt be seen.
I was hoping my buddy was going to get his first chukar, but he did'nt want it bad enough. I had him out last year in a lesser spot and he still could'nt keep up.
I took this guy elk hunting with me and told him before hand to start hitting the hills (months before). I guess people don't...
Just one of those days, saw a lot of birds but did'nt bring any home. My buddy came up from Salt Lake for a little chukar hunting. The night before I debated on where to go and decided to hike him into a canyon that holds a lot of birds. The only down fall is it's a hike to get there. I...
Congrats on the Chukar,
I grew up chasing Gambels Southeast of Phoenix, never heard of a Chukar until I moved to Idaho. After hunting them for a couple of years I've always thought of the places that I hunted in AZ that would be ideal chukar country. A lot of people don't realize how hilly AZ...
ID Ron,
Did you do anything to prevent yotes from getting your elk? I hunt in a similar area in terms there are no trees close by to hang your animal. This year, I had to leave my elk (or at least parts of it) up on the mountain for two nights and never had a problem with yotes. I was told...
Man you guys are getting me excited, and yet we still have a few months to go!
Should be a great year to hunt! Even better since this will be my last in Idaho, for awhile at least. Pesky military moves :
Ithaca,
I thought I found a home for the dog but the individuals said she was'nt working out, so she's back with me. Kinda of glad to, I was'nt crazy about the people who took her, not that they would've been abusive, but because they wouldnt give her the time she deserves. They did'nt want...
"The 1st time hunting those little bastards is for sport. The rest is for revenge."
ID Ron,
That's probably one of the best descriptions I've heard. I'm still laughing, only because I've been there. Right on the money.
Once you start you can't stop. Now my favorite bird to hunt. One main reason, you see considerbly less hunters in the high ground.
As for diving off cliffs, I was hunting around Bruneau canyon last year and the birds were consetrated right on the rim of the gorge ( 500-800 ft drop). I'd...
Hey PD,
Regardless of what you do, you're going to love it. I'm not slamming guides, but why not put the hunt on yourself. There's plenty of guys on this board who would offer info on good areas. I'm sure no one will tell you there secret spot, but man there's critters all over these hills...
Ith - I never recieved a message from your friend, unless it was Bill. I was supposed to meet up with him on Saturday but I was given some bad info from my daughters coach and we missed each other. I left a message on his machine but never got a reply. So I'm still trying to find her a home...
