Got lucky and pulled a late rifle buck tag in Southern Idaho. I chased rutting bucks all over the unit but couldn't find the big one until the 2nd to last day. He escaped so I shot his buddy. He's 4x4, 27 1/2" wide.
I live in Unit 52. The wife drew a November cow tag in 52 a couple a years ago. She didn't fill her tag but it wasn't because there where no elk. Plan on getting cold and wind blown. Take a 4-wheeler and a map. You can get lost, snowed in, or stuck in the mud on just about any day in November...
I buy two deer tags some years so I can hunt a muley and a whitetail in the same year. Like the others said, it offers more opportunities for us in Idaho without having to buy points for 5 years in another state to get a shot at filling the freezer.
We made it for the opener. Lots of action and lots of antelope. They were pretty spooky, it was not easy to get within even a mile of them. But I did make a good stalk a really big buck. I got with 140yds and was setting up to make a shot and just my luck, a herd of wild horses come running over...
I took fencing t-posts and cut them in half at a 45 angle. Pound them in at a steep angle they work great. They are heavy and dangerous, but only when your drunk in the dark trying to find the tent door.

After 3 years of trying to get her on a deer to shoot we finally got it done on opening day. She made a pretty good 180 yard shot after giving him the old warning shot first. He's about 19" wide, just a little bigger than her smile was that day. She drew a late season cow elk tag also, so...
The college buddy is not bearman, it"s BeerMan! I still have to correct you after all these years. I told Mossie that if the kid can shoot they would be home by noon. But there must have beeen a long line at the McDonald's drive-thru cuz they were late picking me up. The herd we saw with the...
I just heard from the team, They all tagged out but nothing that will break any records. Sounds like they cut it close since it closes tonight. Baerman will probably give all the details and hopefully pics tomorrow.
