All the elk we saw were up high. Lots of sign down low but they move thru the unit fast. They can be right on the road or... -

Idaho Elk Unit 61 - late Muzzle Loader hunt - East or West side

Harvested a beautiful fox on that trip, no elk. Saw elk but there were 1000 yards away in the rocky, nasty, steep areas. If this was a... -

Upland (any and all)! Lets See Em!
I haven’t seen this bird for 2 years! It turned out amazing! Last time I saw it, the bird was in the dogs mouth. Picked it up and took it home this week. Shot this bird with my father in law on our first hunt together.- Chromanz

Stalking out turkey
I got my fall turkey tag filled last week. I spotted a group of birds and stalked them for 3 hrs until last shooting light. I used a ditch bank and canal to move as close as possible. Calling would stop them but not get em coming to me. It was a hot and dusty crawl at times but a great after...- Chromanz
