Shouldn’t Have Done That
You ever drive a sketchy road in the backcountry and think I shouldn’t have done that? Post your pucker stories here. For some reason, I love hearing them. We sometimes get carried away with our hunting. I once slid a bit towards oblivion on any icy steep road with bald tires. Big September...- Idhikker

Full Review- Athlon Ares 65mm Spotter
I recently picked up an Athlon Ares 15-45x65mm angled spotting scope to put through the paces and see if I wanted to buy it. I planned to return the spotting scope and keep my current Vortex Viper 65mm spotting scope if I didn't like the Athlon better. The long and the short of it is that I'd... -

Vortex Viper 65mm
Angled 65mm 15-45 Vortex Viper HD purchased in 2017. It's been in the field for less than seven full days. Very good condition. Quality scope and I've been very happy with it. I've spotted elk five miles away and it's very good class for the money to me. $380. I'll pay shipping continental US...- Idhikker

Idaho Elk
Idaho elk is tough hunting as an OTC option. Capped zones that you have to buy a tag before application season and then uncapped zones and a free for all and busy areas otherwise. Then you're stuck with a small group of units rather than any general unit in the state like Wyoming which prevents... -

Summer Scouting
If you had a mid September high country deer hunt, how valuable do you think July and August scouting would be? Do the deer you've hunted stay patternable or at least in the vicinity? My experience is a bit of a mixed bag though I'd venture to guess summer scouting has some value and deer stay... -

Unit 48
Hi, I'm planning on applying for Idaho unit 48 for a late bull elk tag. I would like to hunt it for deer while I wait to draw. Do you think there are pretty good numbers of game in there? Is a goal of 310" for a bull and 160" for a deer reasonable? I know it's not a top unit at all in Idaho for... -

My Idaho Story
Like half of the hunters from Boise, I grew up hunting unit 39. There were deer and elk and zillions of hunters. You have to really adjust to hunting pressure and get away from roads and trails. A few years ago I left for greener pastures, specifically the backcountry of the Middle Fork Zone... -

Unit 37a Idaho
Hi all, I'm interested in hearing from anyone who's been in the unit about the bull population and trophy quality. I'd love to hear comparisons to other easier to draw units (18, 36a, 48, etc.) or general areas. There's a lot of rough, rocky country. Do you see them up high in that almost goat... -

Idaho Units 27, 26, 20a
Anyone hunting the middle fork for elk this year? I love to talk about the Frank (via PM) as it's a steep bugger and different animal than other hunting locations. I like hearing stories, plans, tactics. Ive hunted it for three years and am just getting to know it decently.
