Nice,
We got an air bnb in island park. I got my SXS also. I do plan another week there around December 1st or after the first big snow.
It’s a new area to me but I’m pumped for a new adventure. That’s why I hunt new areas, to chase the great unknown. It’s a huge area.
Shoot me a PM and we can...
I’m starting the hunt opening day and I’ll be there all week in island park. I’m going to focus on the west side of 20 near the park boundary as a start. I got some other areas I want to see on the west side of the unit out by hwy15. I’ll have a second week off work to hunt once the snow falls...
I haven’t seen this bird for 2 years!
It turned out amazing!
Last time I saw it, the bird was in the dogs mouth. Picked it up and took it home this week. Shot this bird with my father in law on our first hunt together.
I got my fall turkey tag filled last week. I spotted a group of birds and stalked them for 3 hrs until last shooting light. I used a ditch bank and canal to move as close as possible. Calling would stop them but not get em coming to me. It was a hot and dusty crawl at times but a great after...

Looking for a new friends to hunt waterfowl and upland birds with. I live in the 208 area.
I hunt a lot and always want to make new friends and have new adventures. Firearm safety is my #1 concern with new hunting partners.
I have a case of ammo, Oregon & Idaho hunting license, small...
CVA Optima 50 Cal
I harvested a bull moose in 2021 in unit 60A with that weapon. I love that gun, it’s my go to short range weapon. I have the matching CVA pistol also, no kills with that…yet
Hey there
Drew the Idaho island park unit 61 late muzzle loader elk tag. This is an either sex elk tag. Start 11/11-12/9 End.
I’m looking to get advice on which area to focus on. East or West side of the Highway?
I’ve spent time fishing the creeks and driving the roads but never hunted the area...
Kirby,
Great hunting brother
Last year I got my bull on November 6th
The weather is changing and you will see more and more moose in that unit. They come out of sand creek WM area down the river. Keep on the river and you’ll get a big bull.

I’ve been out in unit 52 last few weekends.
Seen (3) bull moose, (2) mule deer bucks and lots of antelope, maybe one good buck.
Ain’t seen any Elk yet. I think I’m too low and need to get higher elevation.
Going to focus on the NW corner of the unit to nail down these Elk this week.
I sent my wife with moose meat (steak, summer salami, jerk) to the airport so she could see the in-laws.
The security guys stoped her. She showed them the meat and the pics of the moose. They said that the coolest thing the had seen all week and let here go.
I was out in Unit 52 yesterday and seen (2) bucks in velvet. We went for the big wood fish salvage and slayed em. There are some jumbo trout in there all schooled up. Perfect bow fishing scenario.
Ain’t seen any elk out there yet.
I think the northwest area might be best for these elk. I’ve...
The first thing my dad said was
“That’s not the hunting model”
Turbo power in a small 4x4 package
Can Ham X3
It’s kinda loud, too fast, but it’s a lot of fun
I was taught to always use tape on my muzzleloader barrel. I’ve seen muzzleloaders foul and not shoot due to hiking in heavy rain. We saw a bear and my gun fired, his did not.
I’ve not done this with any of my rifles
Not a bad idea for a rainy, snowy, muddy day. Cheap insurance
I drew a bull elk tag for unit 52
&
I drew a Buck tag for unit 54 this year
Feeling better about the deer hunt than the elk hunt. The elk hunt is in August, hot as hell. I have not spent time in either unit.
54 sounds great for deer!
52 sounds ok for elk!
Ammo is out there it’s just more expensive
My local Bi-Mart always has a great selection of ammo and good quantities of all kinds of ammo.
They sold me as many boxes of .270 as they had on the shelf.
Last year some places had limit (2) boxes per customer. I made my wife get (2) and I got (2)...
I bought a new Vortex diamond back HD spotting scope….not happy
The eye piece does not have any magnification or “zoom”
It’s just spins and spins and never changes magnification
This will be the last Vortex product I purchase. I think it’s time to step up to quality optics that will last...
