I found this site a few weeks ago and have been reading quite a bit. I guess an introduction is in order.

I have lived in Idaho all my life, and started hunting as early as I could. I'm the only hunter in my family, so my experience level is far behind many of you here. Most of the time I hunt alone. I have done one solo backback hunt.

Elk hunting is one of the highlights of each year for me. So far, I have not killed a bull. After several years of trying various spots in southwest and central Idaho, I finally found a spot that I really like hunting. This will be my third year there, with another cow tag. If after this season I have enough confidence in my knowledge of the area and finding elk in it, I may try for a bull tag in the same area next season.

Besides elk, I like hunting deer and waterfowl. I used to do a lot of pheasant hunting, but there aren't many birds around my area any more.

Welcome, Paul. We have plenty of Idaho guys around here, with a few of them being rather exceptional "characters." Look forward to your pics and stories.
 
welcome aboard! glad to have another Idaho guy. I will be doing my first Idaho elk hunt this year OYOA style. never been there before, but my cousin recently moved there.
 
Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

Attached is a photo from my first favorite spot, from more years ago than I care to think about. I think I took it the same day as I got my first elk.
