I am new to north Idaho, living in Coeur d'Alene. Haven't met anyone to hunt with yet, and I would be interested in meeting up with other hunters from the forum. I only hunted elk and deer a few days this past fall due to a new job and balancing other things in life. Prior hunting experience was in Northern MN for deer, bear, turkey and grouse. Have hunted for about 18 years. Both archery and firearms. But definitely beginner status for mountain hunting.
It looks like I will only be hunting weekends in 2018, but some should be three day weekends. Plan on spring bear, turkey, Panhandle A tag for elk, and a general deer tag if I don't draw a controlled mule deer tag.
I have been researching steelhead fishing, and hope to get down to the Clearwater a couple weekends this winter. Plan on trout fishing the CDA river and St. Joe next summer as well. Never done fly fishing before, probably sticking to spinning rods for that.
My wife does tag along on some hunts. Hasn't wanted to carry a weapon yet, but she can keep up and can handle heavy packs
So I am up for meeting up/planning some hunting and fishing regarding any of the above.
