OTC in my home state of Idaho for me. I got an elk last year but elk encounters were extremely low and that's the same thing I heard from everyone I know who hunts there. Our fish and game department doesn't do any population surveys in this part of the state so there aren't really any...

I hike as much as 14 miles a day while hunting without many problems other than soreness. I am 44 and I won't say I'm out of shape but I have been in better shape than I am now. Everywhere I hunt I am within a mile or two of a trail or gated road I can get a meat cart on so my pack outs aren't...

I like deadbaiting for pike in the spring almost as much as elk hunting. I caught this one this spring. My biggest fish. It was 32.5 lbs and 45" long. I tried to release her but she floated back to the surface. I held her on the side of the boat for about 10 minutes and she swam away but I...

It should be good for feed. Unless it burned so hot that is scorched the ground. That will take a long time to come back but if it's been two years since the fire those areas should be full of stuff growing.

Beings this is basically a big fridge my parents use it frequently to store food when they are having a BBQ. It cools down to 34 degrees. My mom will also store root vegetables in it during the winter. We can put a light with an incandescent bulb (if you can find one) in one end that gives off...

Here are a few photos. I would like to do something to clean up the cords and cables hanging on one end but I haven't done anything with that yet. If you notice a dark spot in the top of the wall in one photo it was a moth that I didn't see when I was taking photos.

I've been meaning to resurrect this old thread as there have been a few changes to our walk-in cooler. I can't see the old photos on this thread anymore but it was essentially a wooden cooler with styrofoam insulation. I built a new house for my parents and then later we built a new shop for my...

8 years in a row that I didn't draw arguably one of the easiest tags in the entire state to get. My mom didn't draw it this time either so I'm not alone.

I'm in North Idaho so it might not translate very well but that long after the rut with winter approaching I would be looking at whatever elevation has the most available food sources.

Sounds like a full month. Hopefully you are successful. And post lots of pictures.

I never got on Facebook because it looked like a bunch of crap that I had no interest in. I don't wish I was on it. My wife is always complaining about how she doesn't have enough time for the things she wants to do but I see her spend hours a day on her phone looking at facebook. She could...

I cant draw flies. I will be over the counter in my home state again.

Hopefully you get the answer your looking for but you might want to contact Montana FWP directly. This website has been awfully slow lately. I'm afraid I don't have any info for you.

I shot that deer about a mile and a half as the crow flies from one of my deer last year. Here are both of their racks. I don't know if they are related but they look pretty similar to me. This years buck looked ancient. He had the biggest neck of any deer I have ever shot. His muzzle was really...

I finally got one on Nov 27th. I had seen a monster while hunting a different area but didn't feel comfortable with an offhand shot at around 165 yards and tried getting closer or calling him in and neither worked. I wanted to hunt a different area but there were people there. There were people...

I wasn't planning on shooting a spike but my wife has been having some severe back and sciatic nerve pain and it's been pretty hard on her when I'm not around the house so I decided that I would take the first legal elk I had an opportunity at. I hunted about 7 hours one day and heard a bugle...

The only thing I put in for was an extra antlerless whitetail tag. Over the last six years this tag has had draw odds of 71%, 84%, 73%, 85%, 99%, and 94%. The draw odds aren't out yet for the latest drawing. But it's a pretty high odds chance to draw. I HAVEN'T DRAWN IT IN 7 YEARS. It's not that...

Have you bought your Idaho tags yet? They have been selling out early lately.

I think it's a good idea for Colorado to have wolves. You should come get them from Idaho. Take as many as you want.

North Idaho. About 40 miles from Canada eh.
