    I love being proven wrong. Especially since I personally love the 143 eldx.

    Hello from Idaho

    5 hours is pretty nice. My friend took over 9 hours. Shit was crazy.

    Hello from Idaho

    I have a buddy who pulled an nr general deer tag for Unit 24 for 2023. I have some familiarity of places like boulder creek, boulder meadows reservoir, and Cruikshank reservoir. Ive done some fishing and mild hiking in those general areas in the fall. I will be a 6 month+ resident by the time I...

    ID GMU 24 mule deer questions

    Howdy y'all, Just moved to Boise recently and a buddy of mine just pulled a nonresident mule tag for GMU 24. I'm somewhat familiar with some fishing holes and hiking trails to the east of McCall, but that's about it. We(I'll have the ability to grab a resident tag by then) plan on hunting in the...

    Idaho 2023

    Sadly this would be difficult to track when their system overloads and users panic with refreshes and attempts to try on other devices. The best solution is preventing an overload in the first place. Either increase server capacity, or create a system where not everyone wants to login all at...

    Hornady ELX - No Good for Hunting Elk???

    This is very similar to what me and my buddies found out just by white tail hunting with 6.5 creedmoore 143 eld-x. They have GREAT expansion on little Texas Deer bodies, but extrapolating that out to big elk would make me concerned about good penetration at range.

    Idaho. "State of deer & elk"

    that and exotics. there are reports of free ranging Blackbuck, axis, nilgai in certain regions now. an ecological nightmare, but fun nonetheless. Texans have very little clue what it means to maintain populations. Idaho seems to be a bit of fresh air, REAL hunting rather than shooting pet deer.

    Idaho. "State of deer & elk"

    Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the information. at a surface level, it made sense to my flat terrain Texas mind that they would be mostly cohabitating and competing for resources.

    Idaho. "State of deer & elk"

    I guess my premise is wrong.

    Idaho. "State of deer & elk"

    I guess my point was, if Mule deer are under pressure would granting more whitetail tags per individual hunter make the possibility of hunting whitetail more worthwhile? Also yes, I understand that Idaho doesn't have pet deer like in Texas.

    Hello from Idaho

    Im in the Boise area. Moved up here in the summer for a large pay increase and a chance to enjoy some mountains. I'm used to little deer and big pigs.

    Idaho. "State of deer & elk"

    It's a legit question. Im a transplant from Texas, where we get multiple tags each year. Ive also heard (possible Fudd lore) from older locals that Whitetail were not around here until western expansion in the 1800's.

    Idaho. "State of deer & elk"

    I feel it would make more sense to loosen tag limits on whitetail. If I understand it correctly, aren't they somewhat an Invasive species to Idaho?

    Idaho is sorry

    One of my buddies waited for 9 hours in queue to get a tag. Luckily he got the tag he wanted. Recently coming from Texas, this system seems simply insane. Texans get 5 whitetail tags WITH the license. I'm just glad that I will be a resident by the time resident tags become available.

    Hello from Idaho

    Good afternoon. I(24 year old male) am a relatively experienced Texas whitetail, boar, water fowl, and Uplands Bird hunter who recently moved to Idaho. I feel like I just moved into the big leagues, now that I actually have to track and stalk.
