Dwili
I’ll be in Illinois 11/5-11/10
Let tag a big whitetail together!!
We are staying in Springfield!
PM me if your in your stomping grounds that time frame.
I got the sandhill crane and sage grouse tags this year, year of the birds!
Crane opens next week!
I was there for 2 weeks in December. We used tires the entire time on my sxs. I meet up with Dwili and made friends with him.
I hunted the west side of the hwy by Kilgore rd. 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...
Thank you for the information.
I’m super excited.
We will be scouting this weekend and ready for the opener on Monday 9/1.
I got decoys and a call, I need to practice my calling some more, my wife will love it.
This is a migration hunt, timing is everything. Hunt the Montana boarder areas, 4x4 or snow machine will be required. I suggest getting an Airbnb in island park. 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...
I grew up big game hunting and the past 3-4 year got into ducks and sporting clays. Found a good group and I’m hooked on the shotguns. Shooting a 20 and a 28 gauge each week at sporting clays and 5 stand.
12GA SB3 for the crane hunt.
Got myself an Idaho 2025 Sandhill Crane tag for area 1. I’m new to the crane chase, I enjoy trying something new. Prime rib of the sky.
My plan to is use the layout blind, brush in and use a few, maybe 4 full body decoys. I got a call ordered and it arrives next week.
I’m open to tips and...
Nice,
We got an air bnb in island park. I got my SXS also. I do plan another week there around December 1st or after the first big snow.
It’s a new area to me but I’m pumped for a new adventure. That’s why I hunt new areas, to chase the great unknown. It’s a huge area.
Shoot me a PM and we can...
I’m starting the hunt opening day and I’ll be there all week in island park. I’m going to focus on the west side of 20 near the park boundary as a start. I got some other areas I want to see on the west side of the unit out by hwy15. I’ll have a second week off work to hunt once the snow falls...
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.
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...

Looking for a new friends to hunt waterfowl and upland birds with. I live in the 208 area.
I hunt a lot and always want to make new friends and have new adventures. Firearm safety is my #1 concern with new hunting partners.
I have a case of ammo, Oregon & Idaho hunting license, small...
CVA Optima 50 Cal
I harvested a bull moose in 2021 in unit 60A with that weapon. I love that gun, it’s my go to short range weapon. I have the matching CVA pistol also, no kills with that…yet
Hey there
Drew the Idaho island park unit 61 late muzzle loader elk tag. This is an either sex elk tag. Start 11/11-12/9 End.
I’m looking to get advice on which area to focus on. East or West side of the Highway?
I’ve spent time fishing the creeks and driving the roads but never hunted the area...
Kirby,
Great hunting brother
Last year I got my bull on November 6th
The weather is changing and you will see more and more moose in that unit. They come out of sand creek WM area down the river. Keep on the river and you’ll get a big bull.

I’ve been out in unit 52 last few weekends.
Seen (3) bull moose, (2) mule deer bucks and lots of antelope, maybe one good buck.
Ain’t seen any Elk yet. I think I’m too low and need to get higher elevation.
Going to focus on the NW corner of the unit to nail down these Elk this week.
I sent my wife with moose meat (steak, summer salami, jerk) to the airport so she could see the in-laws.
The security guys stoped her. She showed them the meat and the pics of the moose. They said that the coolest thing the had seen all week and let here go.
