Thanks gents. I spent a couple of days last weekend scouting around. Not much sign down low yet. I'm pretty hopeful for these snow storms in the forecast. I'm planning to get my son out a few days around thanksgiving. Should be plenty of snow down and hopefully the critters will come down from...
I took my son up this morning for a doe hunt. I've hunted this same draw 4 years in a row, all on the last week of the season. Normally see a single truck at the bottom and might run into a hunter. This morning, we parked next to 4 trucks and we were sharing the mountain with 4 other groups.

Started on a different thread and thought it was more appropriate here. I'm from Idaho and have really started pushing hard the last few years as my sons are now becoming teenagers and able to hike and hunt more aggressively.
For anyone hunting general season deer in Idaho, have you seen...
My son drew a great cow tag the Sawtooths of Idaho. I had the same tag last year and had a tough time finding critters in early November up there. Last year was an odd year, with a really wet spring. The F&G biologist said plenty of water was keeping the herds up higher later in the season than...
Thank you guys. My dad was a great fisherman, not a hunter. I'm really hoping someone on here just wants to adopt a 38 year man at some point. My wife would definitely say "free to a good home"!

Hello all. New to Hunt Talk. I contracted adult-onset hunting syndrome about 4 years ago and can't seem to shake it. My sons have also taken up the urge to hunt, but we've been unsuccessful in the last 2 seasons. We live in Southwest Idaho, so it seems like it should be a lot easier, but we're...
I contracted adult-onset hunting syndrome and I've only been hunting in Idaho for 4 years, mainly near Mountain Home/Ketchum areas. In these last 4 years, the mule deer herds seem to be struggling more each year. It's been tough to try and figure out how and where the populations are decent...
