Kirby,
Great hunting brother
Last year I got my bull on November 6th
The weather is changing and you will see more and more moose in that unit. They come out of sand creek WM area down the river. Keep on the river and you’ll get a big bull.

I’ve been out in unit 52 last few weekends.
Seen (3) bull moose, (2) mule deer bucks and lots of antelope, maybe one good buck.
Ain’t seen any Elk yet. I think I’m too low and need to get higher elevation.
Going to focus on the NW corner of the unit to nail down these Elk this week.
I sent my wife with moose meat (steak, summer salami, jerk) to the airport so she could see the in-laws.
The security guys stoped her. She showed them the meat and the pics of the moose. They said that the coolest thing the had seen all week and let here go.
I was out in Unit 52 yesterday and seen (2) bucks in velvet. We went for the big wood fish salvage and slayed em. There are some jumbo trout in there all schooled up. Perfect bow fishing scenario.
Ain’t seen any elk out there yet.
I think the northwest area might be best for these elk. I’ve...

It’s kinda loud, too fast, but it’s a lot of fun
I was taught to always use tape on my muzzleloader barrel. I’ve seen muzzleloaders foul and not shoot due to hiking in heavy rain. We saw a bear and my gun fired, his did not.
I’ve not done this with any of my rifles
Not a bad idea for a rainy, snowy, muddy day. Cheap insurance
I drew a bull elk tag for unit 52

I drew a Buck tag for unit 54 this year
Feeling better about the deer hunt than the elk hunt. The elk hunt is in August, hot as hell. I have not spent time in either unit.
54 sounds great for deer!
52 sounds ok for elk!
Ammo is out there it’s just more expensive
My local Bi-Mart always has a great selection of ammo and good quantities of all kinds of ammo.
They sold me as many boxes of .270 as they had on the shelf.
Last year some places had limit (2) boxes per customer. I made my wife get (2) and I got (2)...
I bought a new Vortex diamond back HD spotting scope….not happy
The eye piece does not have any magnification or “zoom”
It’s just spins and spins and never changes magnification
This will be the last Vortex product I purchase. I think it’s time to step up to quality optics that will last...
Congratulations Kirby
I’ll give you a call with some information next week
It’s all about timing, once those bulls start to move just be there and wait. You will kill a moose!
I moved from WA (3) yrs ago to Idaho.
I don’t hunt elk in those units but there are a shit ton of elk here in Idaho.
I have had great luck hunting in Idaho these last (3) yrs. Filled my tag each year.

My dad saw mine for the first time and said
“That’s not the hunting model”
I got a gun rack and bow case mounted now so it’s looking more like a hunting model
I killed my Bull with a CVA 50 cal muzzleloader
The rifle is what I shot him with, he soaked up (2) shots at 20 yards. Went down and got up (4) times before dying in the river and floating away from the truck.
The pistol is for those up close armpit shots. It’s a blast to shoot!
Great combo...
I drew bull Elk in Unit 52, August
Hot weather hunt
I also drew a Buck in Unit 54, October
Looking forward to this hunt
I have a theory on how to grab tags in Idaho.
I drew a bull Moose last year and killed. 43” bull with my muzzleloader in Unit 60A
