    Hard work pays off! Idaho Elk

    Only thing better than getting to hunt with your wife, is getting to watch her shoot her dream bull. My motto is " They can't keep not being everywhere". I know it's not grammatically correct, but I hope it at least makes sense ;) we found this bull all by himself, in an area that you would...

    Mt. Lion 2013

    Laying in bed Friday morning hoping that the weather was bad enough that they close the schools down ( I teach in Kuna--not likely that we close due to weather. The week before, every school in the valley had closed up except for us). A little after 5:30 I got up to check the my phone to see...

    Hoyt Vector 35 Black Out Never been Shot

    I competed in the "Train to Hunt" 3-D challenge @ Bogus Basin. The winner received a new Hoyt Vector bow! It almost cost me a heart attack, but the 40 yr. old man got'r done! I tested this bow out at Danny's shop in Caldwell. It is quiter, smoother and faster than my old Alphamax 35, but the...

    URGENT!! Unit 39 Late Archery--Idaho

    ID F&G is working to prepare a new management plan for the Boise River WMA. This is the main hunt area for the late unit 39 hunt.

    On My Own Taxidermy!! Wifes Deer

    Just got this done. This is the buck my wife shot last fall. I had to learn how to do taxidermy so I could afford to put animals like this on the wall. Just this year, I have my sons whitetail, my daughters muley, my muley and antelope to mount up. If I had a taxidermy business, I would...

    $6 + 4 digit # = Big Idaho Muley

    So for my brothers birthday I gave him $6 and a 4 digit number. He, not being a serious hunter, had no idea what either was for. He had always told me that he would love to shoot a big mule deer....sooo, I figured I would at least give him the chance. The hunt that I had given him to put in...

    Idaho Muley--My best yet!

    Drew a tag in an area that I know well. To say the least, I was fired up. The scouting was a blast. My dad (63 yrs old) and I would hike in two to five miles during the afternoon, glass all evening, stay the night and glass all morning. Then we would hike out in the afternoon, relocate and...

    Idaho Archery Antelope--best yet

    Got tired of sitting in the antelope blind after a whopping 13 hours. Blinds are great when the antelope are coming in, but when all I see is sagebrush for 13 hours my ADHD kicks in! I decided to "be the decoy" for a day. Holy Crap--if it works like this every year, it should be illegal...

    Backpack Tent Question

    I have an older backpack tent. It is lightweight and works great for me and my hunting partner. The only problem is that it is a pain to put up! I have to work 3 poles through a sleeve that runs the entire length of the tent. It takes a good ten minutes of frustration to put it up and take...

    Best GPS

    I have three Garmin Rhino GPS Units. Problem is they are all pretty basic. All I ever used it for was to mark glassing pts., trails, wallows ect. After last elk season, I want a GPS that has a color screen and that I could download topo maps with property ownership. I spent 4 days looking at...

    Best Rangefinder???

    What rangefinder have you had the best luck with? I just bought a new Bushnell ARC and have not been impressed. My old beat up Bushnell give me more accurate, further and consistent readings. I would like one that will read out to 1000 yards (Not that I am going to shoot this far, but it...
