[smarandr]

Looks like my wife drew her cow tag.

 

[Firedude]

I drew a refund check! Oh lucky me!

 

[WildWill]

No moose for me. Congrats to all you successful guys!

 

[PNWGator]

Congratulations to those who drew!!!!

 

[Huntin' Fool]

No goat... This year

 

[OverlordBear]

No Goat for me now to put in for a left over white tail or antelope

 

[LopeHunter]

I want to be the first recent hunter to kill three legal sheep in Idaho. I drew a late hunt Rocky tag.

I think some Native hunters do that every few years.

 

[T Bone]

Chasing goat! Gonna need to touch base with T-bone as he has experience in this unit.

Congrats to all! My info is dated, but I'll gladly share specifics of the Big Horn Crags with you.

If anyone feels like sharing some info on Moose in 10A-4 or moose hunting Idaho in general (like should I hunt the rut or? Try and get access to private in that unit?- long season) Id love a PM. Good luck to all who drew! I will def provide a wright up after the hunt.

Yes. Try it all. I saw bull moose in 8a last year. It’d be a tough hunt with thick timber, hoping for a moose in a clear cut.

lastlight, I think you could start getting some rutting action around the end of September with it getting better the first two weeks of October. It has been awhile since I have been to your area but, in the past, there was always lots of logging going on. You should not have trouble finding lots of clear cuts with the successional growth moose like.

Moose spotting can be much easier in November after the leaves have dropped on the growth in clear cuts. If you have snow then, it is even better.

After the rut, it has been my experience in North Idaho that moose don’t roam too much. That can be good if they are hanging close to clear cuts, bad if they are in thick timber.

You might check with the Forest Service and State Forestry to find who is currently logging in the unit and contact some of the loggers for information.

Good luck.

Solid info BAKPAKR, thank you much! I would love to hunt later in the season so my hunting partner can get a chance at a whitetail. If my chances at seeing bulls are fair to good post rut then Ill have a tough decision to make. I can spend at least 2 weeks straight hunting. Do you guys think that is enough time?

 

[Duck-Slayer]

Big fat Negative for my moose tag....

[SC Living Outdoors]

A big negative on sheep for me. Congrats to everyone that pulled a tag!!!

 

[idelkslayer]

I don't like the term chosen by IDFG for those of us who did not draw, "Not Selected" seems way too soft like they are trying to let me down easy. I would prefer a heavy handed "Rejected" or "Loser" or some other truly soul crushing term.

 

[IdahoBugler]

In shock.... The stars finally aligned and I will be hunting California bighorn sheep this year in Idaho. A dream come true for me.

Congrats to all those that drew.

 

[T Bone]

Congrats Bryce!

Which unit?

 

[IdahoBugler]

Congrats Bryce!

Thank you. I'm beyond excited. Which unit?

I drew 42-1.

 

[TheJason]

I drew 42-1.

Good for you!

 

[OH->CO]

Has anybody else not received a refund from Idaho? I have not and I am sure it is because I am the first alternate when somebody turns their tag back in...
