    Moose Calling?

    The hunt was great! Of course nothing went as planned and all my calling did not seem to help me any. I ended up just putting in lots of miles and lots of glass time. Took 28 days but I got my bull. It was a great time.

    Harvest data is scaring me...

    I live in Idaho and I would never hunt a unit with a 4% success rate. Lots of good elk hunting in Idaho, but wherever that unit is, it sucks.

    Daughters First Deer

    That’s way bigger than my first deer. Nice work!

    SE Idaho Moose

    Appreciate the replies! It was really just sheer stupidity that made me do it solo. I definitely did not think it through quite as well as I thought. Figured it would just be like packing out a larger than usual elk. I was a little off.

    SE Idaho Moose

    Well, I finally filled my tag. I saw only 3 moose in as many weeks of hunting. I know I put over 100 miles on the boots. I talked to every archery hunter I could and not one had any information for me. I can honestly say that it was the hardest and most frustrating hunt I’ve ever done, so I...

    8x binoculars enough for Western hunting?

    I started with 10x, but ended up switching to 8x for most hunts here in Idaho. When I hunt antelope in Wyoming, or wide open sage flats for mule deer I still pull out the 10x. If I had to stick with just one, it would be the 8x. I just use my binos to find animals, and then use a spotter to see...

    Horrible accident

    Well that ruined any future naps I will be taking in a corn field.

    Bringing a nice gun to the duck blind

    I put the camo wrap stretchy tape stuff on my nice wood Browning. Gives it a layer of protection and comes right off when you get home. It reminds me of the tan stretchy bandage tape but in camo.

    wy check points

    Every year I have to drive from my hunting unit on the Nebraska side of Wyoming, all the way back across into Idaho to get home. One year, I had to stop at two check stations before I was even halfway across the state. The game warden heard me say that, and he wrote me a note to give to the...

    Cornfed Elk...

    I hunt 8 miles from the Nebraska border in Wyoming every year and it amazes me how many elk are out on the prairie. Being from Idaho, they just look oddly out of place.

    Venison Liverwurst

    Sounds delicious!

    Your good here in Idaho. My hunting buddy was born in Mexico and we have a great time every year.

    barnes tsx or nosler partition?

    Both bullets have pros and cons, no bullet works best in all situations. I’d shoot the bullet you have dialed in already. Most important thing is putting a bullet where it counts. Any 165 grain bullet out of a 300 Win Mag will put down a mule deer for sure.

    Grizzlies and coffee

    I heard grizzlies are kind of snooty and only like the fancy roast coffee. So as long as it’s cheap Folgers or similar you should be good.

    Game Bags.. When do you use them?

    I even use them in late November when there are no flies. Just good insurance against dust, dirt, tree bark, or other untasty substances.

    Living somewhere other than the U.S., where would you move too ?

    Norway, Sweden or Finland. I was stationed in Germany and those countries are basically Europe’s version of remote Canada and Alaska.

    Which OTC species has eluded you the longest?

    I’ve taken a “good” representative animal of all our OTC tags in Idaho except a wolf. I’ve always thought I would get one while hunting for other animals in the fall, but I think I will have to make a dedicated winter hunt if I want to finally get one.

    What kind of rest do you prefer?

    As hard as I am on my stuff when I’m hunting, I love tough and simple. I broke/damaged a few different fall aways before I just switched back to a whisker biscuit. I shoot to 60 all the time and have no accuracy problems that are not caused by me. I’m not shooting leagues with one, but it’s...

    Creedmoor question (probably again)

    I shoot the Barnes 127 LRX bullet as well. I like knowing that it will reliably penetrate anything from an antelope up to a moose. Taken elk, mule deer, whitetail and antelope with it. I handload but Barnes sells it in factory ammo too.
