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...

I wasn't having a ton of luck with whitetails most of the season. I had been out quite a bit but hadn't seen anything bigger than a spike and hadn't seen any scrapes or rubs. The rut was starting to kick in and I finally saw a decent 2 1/2 year old 4x4. I probably would have shot him but he saw...

I drew a 5 month any weapon antlerless tag for elk. I was thinking about not picking it up but I don't know how much time I will have to hunt during Sept this year so I guess I will get it. It's about as close to a guaranteed successful hunt as you can get around here. Once again I didn't draw...

Idaho big game draw results came out today and once again I swung and missed. I put in for a really great elk tag so wasn't surprised not to draw that one. I also put in for an extra antlerless whitetail tag and didn't draw that one either. Last year the odds on drawing it were really high...

I'm curious what everyone else does when they encounter someone violating a road closure or trail closure. I don't hunt anywhere that you can have a motorized vehicle unless you happen to be working in the area but I encounter people on these roads that are either on 4 wheelers or side by sides...

Just curious how peoples seasons went if you were one of the lucky ones who has gone yet. Also if you had posted in the forum that had asked what you thought your chances of filling a tag were. I posted on that question and I think I said my chances were 75-80%. I still have 3 different seasons...

My Mom found a big set of non-typical whitetail sheds a couple years ago. I had set out some trail cams in the area hoping to get a photo of him but I never did. This can be kind of a wintering area so there wasn't any guarantee that the deer lived here year round. My parents had a camera out...

I set a cam out about 3 weeks ago mostly looking for a non-typical whitetail my mom found some sheds from. I got a couple deer and some elk but not anything with antlers. I did get my first mountain lion photos. I thought it was pretty cool to finally get one on camera. I can't tell if it's a...

Wondering how many people scout on Google Earth and what kind of areas you have found. Did they look as good in person when you hiked in there? Here are a few of the areas I have found.

I am posting this thread about the walk-in cooler my Dad and I built for anyone who may have been thinking of doing the same thing. The first thing I would do if I were interested in building this is to look at the website www.storeitcold.com. That is the website of the manufacturer that makes...

Just wondering what everyone is thinking for opening day. It's been so hot and dry here in North Idaho that unless something changes I will be sitting in a treestand I have on a wallow 4 miles from a locked gate. There are a couple other spots I want to go to as well but with no rain in the...
