    Mule deer opportunity?

    I suddenly remembered this video put out by the Idaho Fish and Game earlier this year as a part of a larger series on Mule Deer Management. They pull information from studies done all over the west. There are many interesting and sometimes counterintuitive findings about how different managment...

    Mule deer opportunity?

    I will say that I really like Idaho's season structure. In fact I would like to see fewer limited entry hunts. Limited entry just pushes displaced hunters into the increasingly crowded OTC units that remain. Limited entry is not the answer to improving mule deer numbers or trophy quality. There...

    2026 Idaho Nonresident Deer & Elk

    It will be very interesting to see how the first year plays out and how people adjust in subsequent years.

    Tanning you own furs?

    Lutan-F follow the instructions. Fleshing is the most labor intensive part. Make sure you get all the fatty tissue around the ear butts, eyes and lips or you will have slippage. It's not really difficult to tan hides, it's just time consuming.

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    I see it as someone who wants to be sure that they pay their fair share. It isn't a trust problem. I see it as a sign of respect. It ensures that down the road nobody can get offended or misremember being the guy that always pays for more. It is making sure everything is split even so nobody...

    When is it too much?

    Sounds like they need to eat their elk meat more often. I would consider it a travesty if they're eating any beef while that elk meat is taking up space in the freezer.

    Missing CO Hunters

    Anyone that you give permission to can ping it at any time to see where you are, if it is on.

    Newest Poaching case

    That would be an entirely appropriate response, and I feel, should be the default response.

    PLT. It's on in ID.

    "But four generations ago, Beard’s family owned the vast majority of the land. People used to call the area “Beardville” and most of the land was agricultural." So, it's ok for his family to sell off the land to later be developed but the state can't sell its land because, Beard gets a cheap...

    Field photos with hunter sitting on top of the animal

    Just as an exercise in thought have you asked yourself any of these type of questions? Where did my dad get the idea that sitting on a animal is disrespectful; what makes him right? Where does the idea come from? Who gets to be the authority on what is/isn't respectful and why? What reasons...

    Accuracy - Is this normal?

    a 3 or 5 shot group isn't enough to determine the capabilities of a rifle. With 3 or 5 shots you might shoot a great 3/4" inch group, and then your next group is also 3/4" but the point of impact appears to shift slightly, then the next group opens up to 1.2" and brackets both of the previous...

    Just GOTTA check again, and again,and again

    Do those extra doe/fawn b-licenses for successful applicants ever go on sale to the general public as leftovers?

    Are* older generations stupid or younger generations smarter?

    Back in my day if you wanted to go hunting it required a lot of knowledge and planning. First we had to locate iron deposits, mine the ore (requiring knowledge of logging and carpentry to create timbers for cribbing), smelt it, forge the iron into gun parts, build a rifle from scratch, procure...

    Idaho Nonresident Draw!

    I'm sure everyone will find completely new things to complain about when the results come out in January 2026.

    GG vetos Sheep and Moose Lottery Option

    I wasn't around when these auctions started. I like to imagine that it was a publicly supported funding strategy. If so, then it had the weight of the beneficiaries backing to addition of auction tags. At this point however, it seems public opinion is shifting and the beneficiaries no longer...
