Gonna hunt idaho first time (deer&elk), planning on it becoming part of annual trip so hopefully we get in animals. They got a great deal for disabled vets that I plan to take advantage of. THANKS Idaho for offering the discounted tags.

Drew a November whitetail tag in a unit I have never hunted. So my hunting partner and I are doing a weekend scouting trip during the general season in October to get a feel for the area and hopefully narrow down a few sweet spots.
Washington state has some pretty terrible hunts, but NE whitetail hunting in the rut is amazing. We have seen and harvested some big old bucks and it's a very fun hunt.

I found several good saddles and two bench bedding areas the last two falls hunting Montana and I plan to sit down and wait out elk getting pushed through the saddle or setup in dark timber bedding areas before daylight. After opening week I plan to glass more and locate elk before I push through backcountry spooking game.

I'm introducing a newbie to western mountain hunting in a big way with a elk hunt in NW Wyoming griz country. I drew a great bull tag and he picked up a cow tag. He's been a great student and has really geared up and got ready. We will hunt the archery rut and pick up a rifle in October if we don't score with our bows. Ive gathered some good info & we should do fine.
I also went to floorless shelters with a Seek Outside setup and got a new Long Range Rifle setup complete with a Gunwerks G7 rangefinder. I upgraded my arrows & broadheads and sold all my old backpacks and got a new EXO 3500.
Lotsa changes for me this year.

Actually scouting this year, both with boots on the ground and on the computer. I attacked the mountains last year with a midwest whitetail hunter's mindset and that got me absolutely nowhere except tired and frustrated. I've also suckered a couple friends into this with me, so I won't be going solo. Gonna get the bow set up and give that a shot this year before all the rifle hunting blows the elk out into the gnarly stuff, hopefully.

New self-contained base camp, thanks to MontanaBorn. Won't have to tote nearly so much crap so more room for meat.

Antelope tags in 2 new areas and a cow tag in another. I may even get a new truck because I don't want my new binoculars to get dirty
