Shot this bull Monday 9/5 Idaho public land OTC. Backpacked into the area for several days with my son, the elk were quiet until rain came in Sunday night. Jake recorded video on his phone which was helpful because I could hear the hit and pass through. In the video I had a slightly different...
75% of the people who commented recently were against auctioning the 5 additional tags so F&G postponed the vote.
However, Senate bill 1236 has been introduced and will MANDATE 12 tags be auctioned now, along with possible wolf tags. The auction tags will come out of non-resident allocation...
Just got a knock on the door from UPS...
All I can say is Leupold far exceeded my expectations once again. Brand new rangefinder they did not have to send me.
Just read this and thought I'd post.

Utah Department of Agriculture officials confirmed Friday that a bull elk shot on a private hunting park in northern Utah has tested for the fatal neurological malady known...
Packing in for our second trip of the season this past Friday my son made a great 30yd quartering away shot. We were working our way up a ridge toward the nights camp when I heard a twig snap then motioned to Jake who was just behind me to get ready.
We watched a 5pt, 3pt and a few cows...
I'll be at the Boise show next Thursday, downtown Egyptian theater. Bringing oldest son, wife and my old man. Probably wear my Idaho gun hat (you'll know it if you see it), about 6-1 so if you see an ugly dude that resembles that, I'd like to say hi to any fellow hunt talkers. My name is...
Thank you for not eating my camera!
Got out of town this weekend to do some glassing for elk, check trail cams, etc. This big boy was doing some camera checking of his own.
Before he knocked it down I got the goofiest pic of an elk/sasquatch hybrid, then afterward my first mt lion on camera...
The film tour is back again tonight at the Egyptian theater downtown. I recommend anyone who likes DIY hunting including rifle guys to check it out. Good fun, bring the whole family.
Check out this years previews and remember the raffle supports Hunt of a Lifetime...
Season starts tomorrow here in Idaho, heading out this afternoon to get my boy on one the next 5 days. Picked up the cams on Sunday and had plenty of pics to get excited about. This unit is otc rifle and bow so there are still a few elk left to go around. Good luck to everyone!
First post so we'll see if it turns out ok. Being my first bear hunt I learned a lot. The main lesson was to wait a little later in the season as we took our first trip at the beginning of April. The second lesson was to buy my 12yr old son Jake a youth turkey tag because we were covered up...
