2nd day started out clear and cold. We launched the boat down a steep embankment. As we were launching, 3 cow moose were along the river just downstream. After launching we checked for any bulls in the area and called from the boat to see if any would come in. Without any bulls answering, we...
Yes, included $50k included everything, lot, permits, water, sewer hookups. That's another house behind. Small lots, small community. A lot of sweat equity. Just got back from a couple of deer hunts, elk hunts coming up soon. Fall steelhead starting to show.
Just got back from 9 days of hunting moose and deer in Idaho. 1st day of moose hunt ended with no moose being spotted on a float trip, although the scenery, company (son-in-law and daughter) who both had moose tags was great. Brown trout fishing while hunting, cast and blast, was decent with...
Tomorrow and Monday going moose hunting. River float trip that daughter and her husband have. 2 tags and we decided to not be too concerned with a bigger bull on the 1st tag and try to fill the freezer. Then work on a bigger bull for the second tag. Floated a week ago and the rut seems to be in...
Thanks for everyone's input. After reading these posts and more internet research, yellow, orange and grey seemed to be the preferred choices for hunting. Polarized without a mirror finish. tarheel, I have the same Serengeti Drivers that I have been using for quite a few years and they have...
Trying to get opinions on best shade/tint for sunglasses for hunting. Haven't seen much on this topic. I have some Costas with a green tint I use for river fishing, but these are too dark for hunting. Replaceable lenses are available for these and wanted to order some different ones. Went with a...
Unit 8 has some good bulls. Unless there is a ton of snow, I would hunt up high around Williams to the east. A lot of hunters are usually around Bill Williams mtn. Wear at least 400G boots, layer with waterproof clothing and bring a sled to haul out your elk.
Seeing some pre-rut activity here in Idaho yesterday. I live about 1/2 mile from an elk farm, so when those elk start bulging, the rut is usually beginning around here at least. About 75 elk in the farm with 10 of those white.
Just finished building a cabin in central Idaho, 3 hour drive. Made it so it's easy to winterize and low cost heating. Located on the Salmon River. Use it for hunting, elk, deer, bear, waterfowl, upland, and steelhead/salmon fishing. Took me a year to build and really satisfied. One of the best...
400 gram works for me in November, and usually into December. It can get cold and even with good wool socks. Usually have a pair of lightweight non-insulated for Sept. & Oct. going into the more insulated later. Been a fan of Danners, just fit right for me, and have different boots for the...
It looks like the lope numbers are down in SE Idaho, although during the later winter months I saw quite a few large herds. The past few weeks, not as many. Not sure if better feed is up in the foothills or if they had a winter die off. Just my observation driving highways and not scouting.
Yeah I was posting about an area 50 miles west of Missoula, Lolo pass on the border. Noticed original poster was from Florida. Idaho you can have up to 3 bait sites. Trying to get more dialog going, about reduced bear tags, $41.75 for NR with 2 tags, electronic calls, etc.. Great deal for NR...
I've baited the Lolo area a couple of times for bears. Only takes a day or two for them to come in to the bait. Glassing can be good, the forest is so thick, it's hard to glass in areas.
If you're interested in hunting elk, and or deer in Idaho, I would like to find someone who would want to invite me to a hog or exotic hunt in another western state. I have a new cabin on a major river in Idaho, including steelhead fishing, with lots of game. Deer and elk, along with sheep...
Had my meniscus surgery last year, 1st week of August. I was able to hunt mid Sept., although on easier hikes. Took about 5 to 6 months for 100%. Ortho surgeon said your body will let you know when you've done too much. Glad I had the surgery though.
