Couple years back we were set up low. Started calling, no real bulls answered and one I'm guessing new guy couldn't help himself. He bugled every couple minutes and started heading straight for us, never checking his wind I'm pretty sure because the thermals were blowing straight to us. He...
When your practicing shooting with or without a partner how many of you try out scenarios? Sure we all do different distances. How about having your pack and gear on whilst trying different shooting positions. Calisthenics prior to a shot, allowing only so much time etc.. I guess it's the X...
What is your favorite part of the hunt? Being in Gods country? Friends & Family? Tracking & stalking? Screaming Bulls? Taking the shot? When it all lines up that's what makes me keep coming back.
Just received an Idaho Fish & Game survey in the mail. Reason being is, I had answered that I had seen a wolf in my post 2012 mandatory survey. Idaho Fish & game is compiling data on exact sightings, unit number's, dates and numbers of wolves Etc. Just wondering if any fellow hunters...
Wild fires and logging have impacted my state over the past 20 years. 2012 was no different fires swept through several units and sent hunters blindly searching for game outside the "box" they called hunting camp. With the influx of hunters we experienced this year makes me skeptical on next...
Being a native Idahoan, we are very fortunate to have multiple types of 3D shoots. Ranging from desert foothills to thick forrest and everything in-between. I must say that personally enjoy the mountain forrest 3D shoots the best. Reason? You can't get anymore realistic training, plus your...
Got a lid cam for Christmas and must say it is pretty cool and can't wait to use it this season. Does anyone have any helpful hints while using one of these small cameras to capture the thrill of the hunt? Thanks, WardDawg 7
With a camp full of hunters, and everyone has the quest to shoot Godzilla. One might not pass up on a gift from above. I Was the secondary shooter while the primary was not doing so well. The herd was long gone,and this young fellow decided to impale himself at 12 yrds. Couldn't resist The...
To my amazement yes they do. How is it possible for a mortally wounded animal to head straight up the mountain? All logical thinking is that they would want to take the easier route? I have seen first hand that they will travel up hill from were they have been hit. A good thing to keep in...
Ever shot an elk only to loose it? Was it a good hit? Good blood trail only to vanish into thin air? How does one actually get over it? It is a sickening feeling and you just feel horrible. 14 years ago I had called in a screaming 5x5 shot himat 23 yards broadside. He went about 70 yards...
How many times have you switched your bow tech? Looking back on the past 4 bows I have purchased it seems that I have had a different draw length or arrow length & weight according to the tech behind the counter. I know that each bow is some what different but don't you think your body...
We all have experienced the last few years of record setting temperatures. The big question is go hunt early or late Septrmber? Advantages to early are getting to the bulls before everyone else, what if they are not bugleing? Late season means more pressure and traditional third to fourth...
After a long week of smoke filled mountains and displaced hunters filled our area we decided to set up in our favorite "Honey hole". Surly a rag horn or cow will be close as always... When my partner started the sequence calls and then we heard it. A wolf howl cut him of as soon as he...
