Hawaii Idaho deer hunt.

[Scott85]

To keep with people wishes not to post unit number we will call this unit 4rty in Idaho.
I drew this unit by mistake this summer and have been looking forward to this hunt since I drew the tag. I’m definitely treating this tag as a OIL deer tag.
My bags are packed and the camper is loaded down. Got one more week of work and heading to the unit Saturday morning for 3.5 days of scouting before the season starts and I got 11 full days of hunting. Also got some pretty cool people tagging along on this hunt so either way it’s going to be a lot of fun!!!

“Hawaii Idaho deer hunt.”​

Darn auto-correct!

I am looking foward to reading about the hunt. Get a good one.

Edit - Or, maybe, it was not auto-correct, and just part of the plan to maintain unit anonymity.

Good luck on your hunt. From what Ive heard, its not what it use to be, but there are some world class genetics in there. Ill be looking forward to following your story. I use to hunt the bordering unit quite a bit.



We got these opening with only 2 days to hunt on the boarder of that unit (we both had pregnant wives at home).

This is gonna be awesome! I can already tell.

Or a complete suffer fest.

Either way, an epic story.

Really happy you’re going to tell this story. Been looking forward to hearing about this hunt more than any other on the forum this year. I hope you find and kill a giant.

I thought you were calling it that because it was 80+ degrees out there all the way through October. Shoulda brought my hawaiian shirt out on the general deer hunt. Would have been more comfy.

How slow will tomorrow go @Scott85 ?

And here I thought it was your autocorrect.

Are they still doing the 2 point hunt out there? It just kills the genetic diversity and quantity of animals. Idaho has some good rules and some absurd ones. I love the weapon specific seasons/traditional muzzloader/no crossbow etc. Wyoming is kind of a free for all. We would have the best hunting in the lower 48 if we adopted those, in my opinion anyway. That being said, I have enjoyed great sucess since moving there from Idaho.

2 point hunt is still a thing. They have a bow and rifle hunt for 2 points.

Very very very slow!!

Ya, it’s pretty dumb rule. Not IDF&G’s brightest ideas, and there’s 2 point hunts all over the place.

No state is perfect yet, but ID/MT/WY are some of the best places to hunt and be in the world. Ive been fortunate enough to live in and hunt all 3 in my life

 

[Scott85]

Truck is loaded down. Wake up at 0430, 2 stops and I hope we will be heading North by 0600.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Frigid.
