I drew a wilderness unit and wanted the full experience so I chose to hunt with Crandall Creek Outfitters. No regrets, had a blast and shot a bull. Found a bonus set of matching sheds too.
I'm reloading some 28 nos and using a Redding die. I've cleaned my brass and rolled them in oil to lubricate the casing. When depriming and resizing the casing, I'm getting some very slight brass shavings around the neck. I can see that the resizing component is shaving the brass. Can anyone...
Looking for some recommendations for a bear and fish charter in AK. Hoping to book something for next year but not sure how realistic that might be. The trip doesn't need to be necessarily guided as long as there is lodging by boat or cabin and a skiff to get around with fishing gear & crab pots...
Can anyone find any? I'm running into either scam websites or nothing at all. I reached out to CCI to see if more were in production but no response yet.
Looks like OnX has some significant upgrades to their mapping, scouting and application packages with the addition of TopRut and Terrain-X. I tried using GoHunt maps exclusively last year and compared to OnX on my wifes phone. I found OnX to be superior for a number of reasons. I was hopeful to...
I'm considering picking up a jet boat for steelhead/salmon fishing that is also well rounded for flat water fishing of all types. I think I've narrowed my search to the Willie Raptor, Alumaweld Super Vee/Columbia or North River Scout. Ideally the main motor has a prop with jet conversion and it...
Last weekend was a magical day. Got into a herd with at least four bulls bugling. Wife slipped into 100 yds of some cows quietly. I fell back 50 yds and gave some yearning cow calls. Bull came into 10 yds of wife and she tagged a nice 6x6 for her sixth archery bull.
Also broke rule #101 on the...
After 11 years of points, I was finally able to draw a tag in Nevada in 032, 034! I'm a little concerned about the drought and looking at last years harvest of 3% of harvest being 15" plus in size. Hopefully some rain and these cooler temps will help this years horn growth. At any rate, I'm...
I would like to place my home and property in a trust but not exactly sure where to start. Who has done this, what are your recommended steps and what are the ballpark costs in setting up a trust? In the basic research I've done, it looks like we need to hire a family trust attorney to set up...
In a couple weeks (end of July) I'll be going on a six day rafting trip down the main fork of the Salmon river. We are putting in at Corn Creek and floating through the Frank Church all the way to Riggins, Idaho. It's my first multi-day rafting trip and I'm looking forward to it! Those who have...
I drew the 3rd season this year and with the date shift, my hunt is later, Nov 13-19. Should be prime time as far as rut...I think. From what I gather, the hunt is not quite what it used to be but there will be opportunity to look over a lot of bucks and I assume that if I look over enough...
Anyone having any luck getting into elk that want to talk? I went out for the opener. Was in the middle of six rag horns and I was only able to get one light squeal. Heading to Wyoming for an elk hunt tomorrow hoping they are starting to chime off in the high country.
I got lucky this year and drew a barbary sheep tag with a long time hunting partner. Finding out results back in April made for a long wait before we were actually going to be chasing a sheep for the first time our lives. Long story short, two flat tires on the trailer, getting stuck in the mud...
We put the least effort into this years hunt in all of our years archery elk hunting. Typically, we are setting cameras and scouting starting early July. This year however, I found out I needed a pacemaker and I was in no condition to be hiking hard until I got one implanted. On August 23, I...
Since securing a Sawtooth Elk A tag, I found out that I had to have a pacemaker implanted. That surgery happened just this past Friday and the restrictions will not allow me to hunt the archery season. I will have clearance by the rifle season though. I called IDFG licensing and found out that...
Does anyone have an excel formula set up to calculate a persons odds of drawing a single tag, or multiple tags, after applying for numerous tags in a given year?
If more states start this, OnXMaps may be in trouble. Looks like it has most the features. Please provide reviews from those who use it this year. I'm curious.

Called this 5x6 bull into 32 yds for my wife on Sunday. First bull we had going and called in of the season. Took three days to find elk that wanted to play but once we did, it was productive!
Got lucky and was notified of a cat living in tree well. Approached said tree well. Climbed in said tree well. Came face to face with cat at less than 10 feet. Cat jumps out. Cat get's shot.
Full body or rug? I'm not sure yet. It's a decent cat but not the giant that a guy dreams for. I'll...
