    Custom Recurve feedback?

    That's definitely on the list to do. I just want 2 or 3 of a few models before I go. So I actually have something to show and demo. I don't want to show up and say, "Well I build bows bit just trust me they are nice....". If I can hold onto a few demo bows I'll head that way. Maybe I'll get to...

    Custom Recurve feedback?

    Thank you for the honest input. I'm glad you mentioned different designs because that's what I've put my effort into all winter. Glad you confirmed it's time well spent. So far most of my bows have been 3 piece recurves. That was my biggest request so that's what I went with. That particular...

    Time to play politics. Help me move these rule changes through the process at IDFG.

    Man, you're getting beat up here... I get the premise of what you're going for. I really do. I watched an old guy finally draw moose after 36 years of applying. His average odds, 1 in 4 random. I don't think people realize 1 in 4 random DOESN’T mean at 4 years you'll probably draw, it means...

    Going to be a lot of boating accidents!

    Why would they ever NEED a registration list? It's the hot thing to post pics of you with all yours saying, "Govment ain't ever gonna know I got 4! Merika! #howwouldtheyknow #postyourstoo #photosarentproofright?"

    Sometimes it's not just for you

    Honestly I think it's being perceived as more desperate than the situation was. He was wet but definitely not in peril. In my mind it takes several things to get you killed. Cold weather, wet, not enough time, etc. He was layer up pretty good. Me being there in the situation, if he had insisted...

    Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy

    Ah I see your perspective. I worked in law enforcement. Yes I've pulled people over for speeding. Yes I've let people off for minor stuff. I've also felt completely fine handing over a citation for excess. And YES! since I've switched careers I have cited people as a citizen. You know you can...

    I guess if your the type to stand around during a crime that's the way to go. You do you.

    Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy

    I try to give a few the benefit of the doubt. I get it. If you're not from around here a two track can be considered a road. This was ridiculous. They drove around the sign saying it was closed and motored across open sagebrush. This wasn't a case of confusion. It's blatant don't care let's get...

    Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy

    I was just trying to make sure they knew the deer was there. Did you miss the part where they were on a closed road. They had to off road through sagebrush to even get to that old dozer line. They were 2/3 of a mile from the closest trail... I've seen the "Who cares I'll just pay the fine."...

    Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy

    It used to be 5 to 10 percent of nonresident hunters made the rest look bad. Lately it seams like 90 percent make the rest look bad. Let me describe opening day of deer in my area. I've hunted the same unit religiously since I was 13. That's 25 years now. Before sunrise I parked my 4 wheeler...

    Sometimes it's not just for you

    That greatly depends on the kid. Flares are fairly easy to light. But once they are lit you're not going to get them out. So be careful letting a kid have them. Plus once they light it's literally a 2900 degree object. Easy to get burned badly. It's up to you. Maybe look for one that lights...

    Sometimes it's not just for you

    I carry the 10 minute marine ones as they're more water resistant. I like those little ones though. I remember the exact situation when I decided to start carrying them. I was crossing a creek in November on an elk hunt. The ice gave way. I ended up slipping and falling on my side in 8 inches...

    Sometimes it's not just for you

    Crazy thing happened today. Weather called for possible light rain. I'm 2 miles up a draw and it starts pouring rain. By the time I got my rain gear out I was already wet. No biggie. Spare drys in the pack. Not wanting to end my hunt (as i do if i have nothing dry.) I just hunker down under a...

    Idaho Super Hunt Combo 2023

    I'm not lying when I said he's making the most of these tags... I've never seen anybody scout, hike, and hunt so hard to make the most of a godsend tag... let alone FOUR!

    Idaho Super Hunt Combo 2023

    Right. The only thing I can think to compare it to is if you won a free astrophotography setup of your choosing, custom built telescope, and an observatory on your property. They need all your specific details because everything will be custom made for you next week. Up to $100,000 You probably...

    Idaho Super Hunt Combo 2023

    I'm sure write ups are soon to come But as most of us would expect he's working his ass off on these tags. If he's not at work he's hiking, hunting, scouting, researching, calling hints, searching out hot spots, etc. All you guy's that have given him input is greatly appreciated. He might not...

    Podcast on wounding

    I was discussing this thread and the topic in general with a friend today. I mentioned I'm not a fan of the notch if you draw blood thing. His reply was that he understands my perspective because he's been with me for 3 days until we found a badly hit deer. Then salvaged as much meat as...

    Arrow not breaking the spine?

    Yes it can happen. The spinal cord runs on top of the vertebrae. Not through it like most people think. Sounds more like to me a high lung or void hit and smacked a rib on the opposite side. I've tracked a few of those that took a while to see blood. Sometimes a few hundred yards. Start marking...

    IDF&G Shed Season Public Comments

    Commented. Close it off. 2 years in a row if watched wildlife run off by snowmachines as soon as a big buck or bull sheds. As soon as the sun comes up and they see that critter bald, "BraaaaaAAAAp." Right towards the herd.
