My 2010 Idaho General Season Deer

[fowladdict]

Last week I might have put the most miles on my boots as I ever have in four days of hunting. The first two days of 21 miles of hoofing it and glassing up only four does weren't very encouraging. But after finding a lot of tracks on day three we knew we were in the right place. Day three turned up about 30 deer including five bucks. This guy came out with a bigger buck, but I'm still working on the patience thing and hopefully he will be there next year. Since he was almost 4 miles from the trailhead I kind of figure he won't be touched. I'm still tickled with this guy especially being a general tag buck.

On a side note...I never saw another hunter more than a half mile off the road in arguably the most hunted unit in all of Idaho.

Hey FowlAddict, I might have found the sheds of that buck a few years ago (Or the bigger buck you saw thats still alive), send me the GPS coordinates of that buck so I can verify !!!

....I love that line

Kudos on getting out. at least it looked like a flat hike out

LOL! How about I take you there personally...as long as you wear a pack frame. There is a nice 6x6 bull I found in there that I just might have a date with on Nov 1st.

Congrats on a well earned buck! I always thought 73 was the most hunted unit it Idaho.

Oak, we do, it's been going on now for the last 22 years. We have the feed, we need animals.

We have the animals, but we could probably have more if certain areas were let to burn. In 2002, the Hayman Fire became the largest in this state's history. Since 2004, the estimated deer population in that area has increased 27%, and the area produced a 300" buck.

Dandy buck congrats. In a heavily hunted unit, you did darn well it looks like.

 

[greatbasin]

Cool for you, man! Nice one. Fun unit, lots of hidey holes.

 

[Devil Diver Down]

Nothing wrong with that buck at all. Well done getting way out and nailing down a nice muley.
