Prairie Dog questions
1) Is the prairie dog layer on OnX accurate? Or a vague generality? Or somewhere in between? Anyone have first-hand experience looking at your OnX screen, looking at the PD layer, while standing in a PD town? 2) Is there a "best time" to go after PD's? Like in the Spring, is there a period...- Focus

Fur Quality and Timing question
This is my first season trapping coyotes. I'm in Southern Idaho, trapping at about 2500-3000'. Its been below freezing overnight, but around 35-40 during the day. This will continue for the foreseeable future. My question is, at what point of the season does the fur quality fall off to the...- Focus

Early November WY antelope
Hey y’all, I have one more pronghorn tag to fill and I’ll be going through my hunt unit around Saratoga again in early November. What’s the snow levels like that time of year around Saratoga? Do they keep the highway over the Snowy’s open or is it a crapshoot that time of year? How about the... -
Target choices
Two questions for everyone with a backyard range.......... What type of target are you shooting? Do you shoot broadheads at it as well? I have an open-layer-foam "The Block" target which readily takes field points. I've also shot it with broadheads, but very sparingly...probably less than... -
Heavy weight ideas for training hikes
I got a new EXO pack and want to load it up with a heavy weight and do some training hikes with it. What's everyone use to simulate an elk quarter? I was thinking about getting an 80# bag of concrete and putting it inside some old cotton game bags I have....sort of double-bagging it so to...- Focus

Do cow elk bugle in June?
Okay, so I was camping in Central ID this past week and was glassing a meadow at about 5500 feet one morning. When I first got there a cow gave an alarm bark which alerted me to its presence. After sitting there another 45 mins I hear a couple of cow calls which allowed me to locate another... -

Howdy from ID
Hi Hunt Talkers, I discovered HT back in the fall when I was looking for pronghorn and field dressing advice prior to a trip to WY with my son. We both filled tags, his first big game critter and my first since 2000. Yes, I had quite a dry spell in my big game hunting mostly due to youth... -
Howdy from ID
Hi Hunt Talkers, I found this site back in the fall when I was researching information on antelope. Though I had shot deer in the past it had been quite awhile (17 years..quite a dry spell) since I'd gutted a critter so Randy's videos on the gutless method were invaluable to me when me and my...
