    Freezer full in Idaho

    I might have to call it quits after this year. Just a few years ago, I was a pretty lousy deer hunter. I had gotten lucky on several small bucks over the years, but I really had no clue how to go after the big bucks you usually see in posts. Forums like this, great hunting buddies, and hunting...

    30 bucks an hour

    Bucks started moving around 3pm and I ran out of batteries before it got dark (about 5pm). I was trying to get a photo of the biggest buck of the afternoon when the batteries went out. There was also another buck bigger than anything here that I only saw for a second before he went into some...

    Gun Porn Banquet Edition

    The Southeast Idaho Pheasants Forever Chapter is having a banquet on April 12th at the Fort Hall Hotel/Event Center. I could bore you with the details of the good things we did last year, but we all know that the best thing about sportsmen banquets are the rewards that lucky members get to take...

    Idaho Public Lands Bucks

    I talked my cousin (Devin) and his brother-in-law (Luke) into joining me on the kind of hunt that Randy features in his show. We started out backpacking through private land, but it is signed up for the Access Yes program so anyone could have had the same plan. Even though we ended up getting...

    Scouting

    Haven't found a monster buck to chase yet (or maybe I'm just not telling), but the antler growth on bucks around here looks pretty good. The first two photos are from back in July. The rest are from last weekend.

    Howa Snowking Paint Durability

    It took almost 3 months, but I finally got my wife a Howa in the Snowking camo. We took it to the range and she enjoyed shooting it (thank goodness), but a few flecks of paint showed up in her hand and one was on her cheek. There aren't any patches of missing paint, but there are a few black...

    henry and howa

    I am still looking for a Howa SnowKing .308 for my wife. She likes the feel of the Hogue stock and once she saw the SnowKing, there was no changing her mind. I have a friend with an ffl that will order a new one if that is the route that I need to go. The only thing holding me back is that I...

    She Stole My Howa!

    I won a Howa Ranchland Compact with scope, but I need to trade it to make my wife happy. The kids came with me to the Pheasants Forever banquet last Saturday where I won the gun, so there was no hiding it from my wife when we got home. At least she wasn't mad at me for spending money at the...

    Is antler shedding late this year?

    I am still seeing mule deer bucks with antlers. The first shed that I recorded this year was February 7th. This seems to be a full month later than last year. My recollection (and photos) of last winter was that bucks in the area started shedding in mid January and the last buck that I saw...
