Hunting Alone?
Honestly, there are lots of guy hunters who are nervous about hunting alone also, but just don't admit it. Arranging a schedule to hunt with another person can be a pain in these busy times so keep going on your own and you will feel more and more comfortable all the time. I actually enjoy the...- 243 AI

Must see bear photo
Last summer in YNP. And yes, that lady is an Asian. About 50 yards from bear eating on buffalo and she just kept wandering closer trying to get a better pic on her tablet. I just knew I was going to see it all go down... Taken with a 150 yard cushion through my binos- 243 AI

Article on whitetail hunting in Idaho
The guy is on to something in my opinion after living in ID my entire 48 years and hunting whitetails virtually every year. The F&G is milking whitetail for all they can at the moment because it is one of the few big game animals doing okay. Numbers are okay, but the buck age class has changed... -

ID Unit 10,12
I hunted unit 12 for many years before it went in the tank and never recovered. I haven't hunted there in quite a few years, but your question made me go to the IDF&G's website to see what was happening with elk harvest in units 10 and 12. 2014 stats for combined archery and rifle harvest in... -

Ruger American
I bought one a couple months ago in blued 223 for a backup/beater/loaner rifle. First impressions were the stock is flimsy, the magazine sucks, and it had rust on it right out of the box. But dang, the thing does shoot. 5 shots into a dime sized group, and 10 into an inch @ 100 with the... -

Idaho living?
Knowing Idaho quite well, (46 years and counting) you will be hard pressed to improve upon where you are at right now for hunting and fishing. The only thing you don't have is salmon and steelhead fishing and that is mostly a time consuming activity with little reward. 12-15 hours per fish...- 243 AI

Rattlesnakes
A guy I know keeps a rattlesnake in a large glass display case at his business for customers to look at. He is a snake expert and has had this particular snake for 15 plus years. He feeds it one mouse a week... I read about a study done on how many mice rattlesnakes in ID eat and it was...- 243 AI
