    2026 ID DEA Controlled hunt results

    The second draw doesn't have any NR caps.

    Griz or Black Bear?

    If you told me that picture was taken in Ohio, I would still say grizzly, and bet my life on it.

    Griz or Black Bear?

    100% grizz. Not even close.

    Angry spouse

    Better to do it in a passive aggressive manner, something like "Why don't you do some shopping; it looks like you could use some new clothes."

    Idaho MSG Applications - Who's In

    You didn't ask for this, I'm just using your example to show how random odds work over time. It is often easier to think that with 15% odds you should draw after 100/15 or 6.7 years. But it isn't that simple because it is random and the odds can never be 100%. The odds of being drawn at least...

    Antler Point Restrictions

    Here is a study done interestingly enough by Wyoming. I've posted it before on several forums when this topic comes up. It is not a new idea. It has been tried in various configurations and locations. It is a quick read, the bulk of the report is just 7.5 pages and then a couple pages of table...

    Antler Point Restrictions

    APRS for mule deer don't work. They temporarily, and in my opinion artificially, raise buck doe ratios simply because at first fewer bucks get killed. APR has been studied pretty heavily and the long term effect is negative. It may seem counterintuitive but APR forces all hunters to focus all...

    WY preference point increase

    Should state agencies be operating like a business in that way though? What they're selling isn't a product, it's a public resource that they are stewarding. I tend to think that licenses and other fees should be set according to what it costs to manage the resource not what they can get out...

    Seriously - Thank You rich boys for this new Idaho law.

    The bolded sentence is incorrect, AI steered you wrong on that one. Lifetime license holders do get their tags from the resident pool, they just have to pay the NR price. Lifetime license holders are also treated as residents in the controlled hunt drawings. The Q/A below is from this...

    Seriously - Thank You rich boys for this new Idaho law.

    They should have made it 10 years. This was getting very abused. One Elk Shaped youtube "celebrity" recently moved to Idaho, stayed a year, bought a lifetime license and then moved back to Washington. I know of more than a few contractors who moved in for a year or two, bought the lifetime...

    Nope smokers not allowed

    Fair enough. Not all mormons are from the Utah/Southern Idaho stronghold. I've got battle scars of my own being a minority in my hometown and places of work.

    Nope smokers not allowed

    I have a tongue-in-cheek question, bringing this back to mingling substance use with firearms. Harkening back to your comment about a drink after work makes you better able to deal with kids or other annoyances. Would you prescribe a beer before the hunt as method to relax and be better able...

    Nope smokers not allowed

    I think my mistake in that post was bringing morality into it instead of keeping the discussion directly tied to substance use. But, you can call the shots how you see it, I'll do the same. We don't have to agree, but a poster making implications that only "mormons" could possibly object to...

    Nope smokers not allowed

    Am I supposed to look up to those guys and model my life after their lyrics? Singing with a twang doesn't make immorality or substance abuse any more wholesome than singing about it in heavy metal or rap, nor does it make someone worthy of admiration. You're right though, sadly this isn't a...
