Opening of my Idaho Season

[HowaHunter]

I start my Idaho season tomorrow with a couple days of trying to find the elusive cow elk before the general deer season opens on Friday. Again, hunting a tougher unit with limited public ground, this makes the elk that much harder to find.

Sitting around the campfire dreaming about what morning will bring. Are there are litany of hunters up here as cow elk season has been going for a week? Hope nobody is in my spot. Might luck out and spot some deer for my family to pursue this weekend. What I do know, I am in the hills and will have a great time no matter what; but, some elk in the freezer would be pleasant.

Also, trying out starlink as I have no service at the family property where i camp. Impressed so far.

Good luck to everyone this season! I hope to post a great update tomorrow.

Good Luck! Looking forward to it! Does star link need a power supply to work?

Thanks all. Starlink does need a power supply. I run 2 solar panels and charger with a single 12 volt li-ion battery that powers everything we need.

It was great to get in the hills today. Made the mistake of thinking I found an easier way into a spot I had picked out. I had been in the area before but it is tough. Boy, I was wrong. It sucked. Glasses for a couple of hours after daylight and nothing. I didn't even see a squirrel.

Took a different way out as I could see some open areas quite a ways from me and stumbled on some old beds with nobody home. This area is about crossed off, and wohkd have been except for the beds, as there is shoulder high brush that grabs your legs every step. It is quite miserable. Hunted it for bulls last year and never saw an elk even though it is where most hunters wont go.

The afternoon and evening were a dud but crossed some more areas off the list.
