So too many elk on a private, high dollar hunting property so the state moves in and kills them and does the best they can to keep it quiet. Pure awful IMO
If Utah officials really need to find land for more...
I recently received a set of Sitka stormfront gaiters and with basically no use have managed to lose the right one. I’m dumb, thinking it must have blown out of the truck bed or it fell out of a back door somewhere. So now I’m stuck with one like new left gaiter. Sitka customer service was no...
Alright I’ve got 12 Wyoming elk points I want to cash in this year. Who wants to give me the hot tip or area? Leaning towards type 9 tags as time off in September is way easier for me than October. My list of wants are small no grizzlies, low or no wolf numbers, plenty of bugling bulls, looking...
Got these as a warranty return and they’re redundant for me. Like new, only opened for pictures and inspection, never been outside. New price looks to be $770, asking $650 Venmo to me, I’ll cover shipping. Thanks! Help me buy a new bow without getting in trouble with my wife
Anyone else got a set of these? I recently found them at my parents house. I remember getting them in Ennis when I was a kid, probably about 30 years ago. Man I looked through them a ton. Looks like 54 total cards. I didn’t realize I was so OCD about them that I kept them in numbered order...

Kind puts a different spin on the articles claiming wolves doing so many good things for rivers, etc
Maybe this has been going on for a while and I didn't know but the wilks bros have a ton of land listed here https://www.wilksranchbrokers.com/ Really interesting to me to see how much of the land they have bought in the last couple years here in Idaho is already back on the market.
I was fortunate enough to punch my 2015 elk tag the other morning on this great bull. Overall it was a pretty great season as I heard bulls every day I was out and saw 9 different bulls; this one was just the first that gave me a shot. I heard him bugling cross canyon from me, got the wind...
I bit the bullet the other day and spent more money than I should have on some new binoculars. I'm planning to spend a fair amount of time glassing with them mounted on a tripod and think I have things figured out with regards to which tripod I want and binocular mounts; the last piece of the...
Its been way too long since I've filled a deer tag, 8 years to be exact. I've passed on a few deer over those years I probably shouldn't have, missed one, and screwed up on plenty of them. A couple years ago I moved back to predominately whitetail country and have kind of figured out I'm not...
Since people are wanting more elk photos I may as well put up a couple of the bull I was lucky enough to bring home this fall. I definitely had more luck than any person deserves with this guy; between a really short pack job, him giving me a second chance, and just finding a bull this size in...
Three friends and I decided to leave wintery Idaho behind and head for Arizona to chase javelina with our bows last week. The first day of driving got us to Henderson, NV where we crashed at a buddies house and drank his good alcohol. Day 2 took us to our hunt area where an AZ friend showed us...
Idaho is currently in the process of rewriting its elk management plan which is the guiding document that helps with everything from season setting to desired herd composition and size. If you have hunted elk in Idaho, plan to hunt elk in Idaho in the future, or just care about how Idaho is...
I may finally be hopping on the smart phone bandwagon and have been given the option of a Droid or an iPhone. I know next to nothing on either, so which are you guys using and what are your thoughts on each. Thanks
This archery season was a little different than the past couple have been on the eastern side of the state. Elk seemed to be extremely scattered and very few large groups to be found, mainly just small groups of 2-5. Bulls would bugle a little, but I didn't actually call in a single bull this...
I made the trip to wyoming this past weekend to catch the opener in the Wyoming unit I drew. I decided to hunt the same place I did last year since my dad decided he wanted to go and I was confident we could draw tags. Overall the amount of people seemed up from last year and I thought overall...
I managed to draw an archery antelope tag which I expected, struck out on my others, not too suprised since I think they all were around 5-7% draw odds. I do have a cousin who managed to pull a great muley tag.
Thanks to some great advice from Buzz I was able to draw a Wyoming pronghorn tag this year. This would be my first time hunting wyoming and first rifle antelope hunt. I'd never seen the unit I drew, but got some more good pointers from Buzz over the summer and was pretty excited for the hunt...
Really how big of a bull can you expect when its spike only.
I had a great archery season this year, with seeing multiple bulls and getting into them pretty much everytime I was out. A couple of the bulls were really good, I just couldn't close the deal on them. The tag I buy gives a two week...
