I filled one of my three deer tags. I probably would have passed on this guy two weeks ago when I thought I would have lots of time to hunt in November. But my freezer is pretty empty and I spent 10 days laying on my couch with the new strain of Covid so I’m behind on projects and will probably...
You might want to hunt where the fire was. I was hunting an area near a spot where a large fire had been. I glassed across the canyon to the burned hillside looking at black ground and trees and watching an elk herd wander around. I went there the next day and there was elk sign all over and...
Dannyboy21 Nice bull.
What’s everyone else have for hunts coming up? I missed all of September archery for the first time in 21 years. I have an any weapon season that runs for 5 days at the end of this month but I don’t think I’ll have time to hunt. Then I have late archery and late...
I’ve also never been there but hopefully you have a good time and update us about how your hunt goes. I’m missing elk season this year and need the updates.
There is a giant rabbit hole you can go down with LiDAR. I first saw it on a tv show where they were mapping jungles in South America and Central America and finding long lost temples and civilizations that have been swallowed up by the jungles for centuries. Pretty cool stuff.
That’s a great bull and a great write up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with double drop times. My dad is 71 and has a heart condition and had a knee replacement last year. He can’t hunt like he used to but still gets out. Him and my mom have been going out and telling me about all the...
I saw where they were struck by lightning. Hopefully they didn’t feel a thing. I’ve been in the woods a few times when lightning storms have come up quick and caught me off guard. I’ve always put everything I have that’s metal in a pile and then I try to get low somewhere else. I don’t know what...
Report back on what you encounter. I’m also in north Idaho and am curious what the elk will be up to. With it being warm my parents are headed out to sit over some water holes and wallows. Good luck.
I’m lucky enough to live where I hunt so I will be hunting whenever I can get out. Which is usually a lot. But I’m building our house this year. I was hoping to be done by now but other work came up earlier in the year and I broke ground 2 months later than I wanted. Hopefully I will be done in...
I agree. I’ve had great luck early the last several years. Whenever anyone asks what my favorite time to be elk hunting is I tell them sept 12-24. I’ve gotten into good bugling action as early as August 30th but that’s rare for me. Mid to late September usually has good weather too.
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...
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...
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...
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...
