Reminder that with the new year, if you want to hunt bear in Idaho you have to take the new bear identification test. It is an easy test, it feels like they are trying to give you the answer when they ask the question. My 3 boys and I did the test last night and all passed. Here is the link to...
It's finally time to getting around to recapping the 2022 season for me and my boys here in Idaho. I was planning to keep things updated a little better as the hunts went on, but I have been way too busy and just haven't had time. I finally finished some side hustle projects this past weekend...
So my 15 year old son and I went on a quick 5 mile hike last week after work and school. As usual he out hiked me from the word go. I went in his room to look for something this afternoon and as I picked up his backpack, I thought "that seems awful heavy." So I opened it up and this is what I...
So I am reaching out to all of you experienced gun builders. I've never built a gun before and am completely ignorant on the subject. My question is this, I was going through my dad's guns, he passed away a year ago, and I came across his old model 1935 Belgian Mauser chambered in 30-06. It is...
Hey @Gellar I was just wondering who you have winning tonight in the Iowa vs Penn State dual tonight? I think Penn State will end up winning a very tight competition either 19-12 or 16-15. It is going to be fun to watch, with several close matches that could go either way.

It looks like RMEF and Mule Deer Foundation stepped up to help the Utah DWR buy this piece from the Utah State Trust Land board.
I have been trying to find a few minutes to start writing a summary of mine and my families 2021 elk hunts. Much like @Duck-Slayer, our house has deemed this year the year of the elk.
Background
I have been looking forward to this hunt for the last 20 + years. My mom died 32 years ago when I...
Well, I got into the virtual waiting room for Idaho elk tags at 9:45, to see if I can get my daughter the tag she wants. Hopefully nothing crashes between now and then.
Day 1
Our fall hunting began on October 10th with me and my 13 year old having tags for any antlered mule deer and my 10 year old having a tag for an antlerless mule deer.
My 13 year old and I left at 4:00 on the morning of the 10th and got to our glassing knob, where we could sit and watch a...
