    Hoping the favor is returned on here Idaho 39

    I rarely ask for help with units but this year has been crazy with a move and other life things... I am delegated to hunt elk in 39 in Idaho this year which I know is a crazy unit (never hunted it before). My wife and I are not afraid to get off the road and put some miles on the boats. I have...

    Great Hunting Season was Had

    This big game season was a blast spent with a few good friends between Wyoming and Idaho. My family and friends are meat hunters so we had a fist full of doe tags minus two either sex deer tags here in Idaho. In October my wife and I and three friends headed to Wyoming with 10 doe tags. We had...

    First sandhill crane

    Buddy and I shot our first sandhill cranes today in Idaho. We were sharing a field with a lady trying to shoot one with a bow. We let 2 groups fly right over us to give her an opportunity since they landed very close to her. Don't think she connected but we couldn't let the 3rd group fly by...

    My new ugly duckling

    So in the gun shop the other day buying my wife a new Ruger LCR when an odd fairly ugly piece catches my eye. I asked to see it and the salesman handed me this mossbert spx 30-30. Weird, odd, and even ugly guns intrigue me. I had always wanted a 30-30 but one that was more traditional. I will...

    Wife's Idaho Cow Moose

    Hunted two days to find this moose. First day they didn't show up to the water hole the second day this cow did. Shot her at noon following an arduous hike up a very steep hill to try and harvest one of the biggest cows I have ever seen. To no avail she couldn't get a shot. I am now thankful we...

Works like a charm on my smaller rifles. Figured it would on this one. Anyone have any experience with other...

    I love my job!

    So while working in E. Idaho and W. Wyoming this week I woke up and went outside to our truck and found this guy. Spend a lot of time out in the wilds and this is the first griz I have stumbled upon. Pretty awesome experience if you ask me.
