    Idaho draw results are out.

    I have been trying to draw a super easy to get extra antlerless whitetail tag with no luck for 8 years. One of those years had a 97% success rate and I was one of the 3 percent that didn’t draw. I did get that tag on a second chance drawing one year. This year I decided to put in for good tags...

    Missouri turkey opener

    Unfortunately I don’t have any good places for you to go. I used to know a guy that was friends with my grandfather. He had hundreds of acres and hundreds of turkeys. I was building something on his house in the winter and there were literally 300 plus turkeys in his driveway and barn. He no...

    “Cold shot” of the Day ‘25

    I have a confession to make. I have only shot 3 practice arrows in the last three years. My shoulders hurt so bad when I’m drawing my bow that I don’t shoot anymore. I force myself to shoot one arrow to try to confirm that my sights haven’t moved. Then I rely on adrenaline to help me draw my bow...

    “Watch them grow” thread

    Those are both nice looking bucks. It’s hard to tell but the first one looks like he might have some extra stuff going on.

    Missouri turkey opener

    Congrats. I should try turkey hunting in the Spring some year. We have an abundance of turkeys in North Idaho. You are allowed up to 6 either sex in the fall. I usually get the 4 cheap tags. If you want the 5th and 6th tag they cost $12 and $20 if I remember correctly. I fill my tags in my...

    Kansas

    Thats nice. My luck with drawing tags is dismal but I have put in for a couple in Idaho that I am hopeful for. What time of year is your Kansas hunt?

    That’s a nice buck. Those inlines are cool.

    Trapping

    Are the hides on bobcats and coyotes worth much?

    Wrench meets 2025 Elk Plan.

    I camp and hunt solo all the time. Maybe it says something that my wife has zero concerns about me being alone in the woods. I should make sure she hasn’t taken a large life insurance policy out on me. I hunt north Idaho. We have all the predators you mentioned. I’ve never had an issue but I...

    What did you do today to work towards your elk success?

    One of the places I saw the most boot traffic was private property that nobody was supposed to be on except me. I posted it for the landowner and that only seemed to increase trespassing. That was the same property where I had a treestand stolen and someone left toilet paper hanging on all the...

    What did you do today to work towards your elk success?

    Did you find any sheds? I used to look for sheds all the time. Then it became popular and everyone else was out doing it. I never used to see people out and now I either see people or boot tracks. I haven’t been out looking for sheds for probably 15 years. That was about the time I started...

    2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole

    Nice. Our duck season ended today so I’m pretty much done hunting until September. Do you have any other hunts for this season?

    New World Record Bull Elk

    We have to all admit that this is definitely AI right? That or some sort of Jurassic park stuff where they resurrected some kind of extinct mammoth elk hybrid. That thing is unreal.

    What did you do today to work towards your elk success?

    Are you feeling lonely on this thread yet? I did the same thing today as yesterday to prepare for hunting season. That was nothing. I’ve got quite a bit of it lined up too. It seems like I do nothing constantly and I never run out of nothing to do. I can’t shoot my bow at my house but I would...

    SxS for elk hunting

    I would have to license and insure a side by side to ride roads in Idaho too. I’m not sure what the OHV license costs. Probably less than registering a vehicle. I use my little car for hunting and pretty much everything that I don’t want to drive my truck for. The side by side would be nice...

    SxS for elk hunting

    I don’t have any experience with a side by side but if they make one less than 50” I can see the benefit to one. I have a 4 wheeler for riding trails that I rarely use. If you are looking for something to ride back roads without tearing up your truck I use a small suv. I have a 98 Kia Sportage...

    What states are you looking to apply for this year?

    Just my home state of Idaho. I want to hunt some otc units in neighboring states but I seem to have a hard time getting out as much as I want here at home. I’ll be trying to get a second deer tag for Idaho but they have been hard to get lately.

    2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole

    We have some nice bucks around here. I might shoot one of them if I ever start passing on bucks like this one. 6th buck I saw in 3 1/2 days. I saw one bigger but couldn’t get a shot. This one looked good enough to me this morning. Now I can go back to work. Yay.
