    Boulder-White Clouds NM?

    What are your thoughts on this proposal? http://www.idahostatesman.com/2013/04/14/2533828/new-life-for-idaho-treasure-quest.html 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 &...

    Idaho SB1256 Auction Tags

    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...

    Wolfer

    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...

    Barn Sour

    Moosie, was this your kid? If so, congrats to him. How come he can run fast and kill big bucks and you do neither? :D

    High Uintas Trifecta

    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...

    Sage Grouse Listing

    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? http://www.fws.gov/news/NewsReleases/showNews.cfm?newsId=2F98A862-90A1-07B5-71DCA2BCAC826881

    Couple of More Firsts

    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...

    Himalayan Snowcock (long & pic heavy)

    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...

    Anti-Crepuscular Rays

    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...

    Montana Goats

    Spent some time in the Beartooths last week. Wow. We didn't see too many critters, but I did have a chance to photograph some goats. Enjoy...

    Boise River Bucks

    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.

    Some Forest Grouse Pics

    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...

    Snow Chickens

    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

    Polar bear added to endangered species list

    Can't polar bears be legally hunted in some countries even if you are not an Inuit?

    Wilderness?

    What's your opinion on official wilderness designations? Do we need more, need less, or have an appropriate amount in the lower 48?
