Maybe I missed it, but it's not clear to me what monument designation would mean exactly as compared to wilderness designation other than motorcycle, snowmobile &...
This was brought up again in the Idaho Legislation thread, but I thought it deserved attention of its own.
The bill was recently amended. If I understood correctly, the following key changes were made:
1. The number of tags were reduced to 3 each for elk/deer/pronghorn plus 1 each for...
Took the wife and kids over to Boise's Foothills Learning Center the other day to watch a presentation by Carter Niemeyer, retired wolf biologist and professional trapper. I think I may have been the only hunter in the audience. He said he was in Jackson, WY, the week before and it was a much...
With the season just around the corner, I've been pondering lately where to go to kick things off this year and realized I never put together any pictures from last year's opening hunt. Hope you enjoy....
I spent three days in the High Uintas Wilderness for the first time with my german...
The following announcement was made yesterday. Will this affect hunting of these birds at all in the near future? Weren't they already a candidate species?

I've hunted columbian sharptails twice in CO, striking out both times. The first time I hunted for two days, found only one lone bird, shot it, and then proceeded to lose it, which quite frankly ruined that hunt. The second time was a couple years later for another two days and again we got into...
A "super chukar" trip has been on my mind for a few years now, but knowing that it's not exactly a dog-friendly hunt, I had been putting it off until my aging shorthair, Tucker, could no longer run and I would not feel guilty leaving him home. Well the other day I said to myself, "Screw it...
I hadn't ever witnessed this before. While driving back through Yellowstone, we noticed the sky opposite the sun looked unusual. I thought it was some kind of alien activity :D but turned out to be anti-crepuscular rays -- crepuscular rays from the sun that appear to reconverge at the anti-solar...
I was kayaking the river early Sunday morning and came around a corner to find these guys at the water's edge. I've seen deer before paddling these stretches, but never a buck this big. His buddy is looking a little freakish.
Is this a trophy Argali "goat" in the picture? Hahaa :D

I am going to start bringing a slingshot along on deer & elk hunts... or maybe that blowgun I bought back in junior high that I used to shoot my sisters with in the back of the head while they watched TV. :D But I don't see any mention of those in the regs. I had some wicked little darts for it...
Forgot about these pics I took on my CO trip but they probably deserve their own thread anyway. Ran into them three times between 12,500' and 13,500'.
Two birds here
