Bears on the bait
Got the baits out last Thursday.(Yes in ID, I know it isn't legal in WA. Its only 3 miles) I have been swamped at work and didn't get back up to check them until today. First site had nothing. This was the one I had a feeling would be hit, it had 9 bears on it last spring. Second bait, 2...- nbell

Sons First Duck Hunt
My son is 9 years old, and this is going to be his first season hunting. My dog is 13, and has cancer pretty bad, this is going to be his last hunt. My emotions were pretty high for the weekend. Last weekend was a two day season for junior hunters, so I made the run 3 hours west to the Moses...- nbell

Does anyone have any experience with these videos, or other suggestions of videos you have seen and liked. Any of you taxidermists out there have advice for going about...- nbell

He has been reading all the hunting regulations he can find a decided we will be bear hunting in August.

ID Whitetail Down
Spent a week and half hunting those ID rutting bucks, and had some success again this year. Dad was able to take this great buck at 1 in the afternoon chasing a doe. He has the most impressive bladed eye guards I have ever seen, and what looks like a second main beam. I passed a bunch of... -
Buddy's First Bear
Well a good friend of mine has been excited to try and kill a bear. I started up a couple of baits on August 30 when the Idaho season opened. Have had one big jet black bear on it since I started it. About 2 weeks ago I finally picked up a second bear on the site. Once he joined in, they...- nbell

Archery Buck Down
Yesterday evening everything finally came together for me on a pretty decent buck. Wind cooperated, and a nice buck cooperated. We were glassing for the elk that have been coming out of a particular canyon when I got a wild hair to move a ridge over a mile or so away while my buddy stayed... -
WA Buck Down
I spent the first 4 days of the season trying to help my brother in law get his buck. Day one and two consisted of a lot of bucks, and terrible wind. Day 3 the wind was pretty steady, but the location of the bucks didn't allow anything to come together. Day 4 was my brother in laws last day... -

Drop Tine Muley
We finally slowed down enough at work that I was able to get the day off. Grabbed my son this morning and went to my favorite honey hole to see what was in there this year. Season opens in a week, hope I can find this guy again and close to bow range on him. This is the best drop tine that I... -
Idaho unit 37A
A friend of mine just drew an elk tag for unit 37a in the second drawing. I don't know much about the unit other than it is steep nasty country. The harvest stats on the web site look pretty decent. The season is October 1-24. I am going to be tagging along to see if I can help him get his first... -
Calling Bears?
Anyone on here ever tried calling them? I have my first Idaho tag filled, and was thinking about trying to call some in. I have never tried, but I think that this could be a ton of fun. I would guess this time of year a distressed fawn call would be the ticket. If anyone is willing to share...- nbell

ID bear down
Got the opportunity on Friday afternoon to go out and try to find a bear. It was only the second time I've been able to get out this spring, but was lucky enough to have it all come together on this big guy. He measures 6'4" nose to tail and has a giant head. Haven't had a chance to score it yet...- nbell

Elk Fight in March
Curious if anyone has ever seen one, or would know why they would be. I was over getting my trail cameras out of the mountains that have been there since October. Was surprised to find that two bull elk had it out a couple different times and both in front of the camera. The first picture... -
ID Whitetail trail cams
Didn't get my cameras pulled out of Idaho last year before I got snowed out. Was able to get 2 of my 5 cameras out last weekend. Didn't have anything huge on them, but a couple of pretty nice bucks. Hopefully wont be too much longer before I can get the rest out. -
Great day with my son
Spent a day this weekend jump shooting ducks and chasing some roosters with my son since his hockey team is on Christmas break. We had an awesome day. My dog is 11 and this is probably his last year chasing upland birds. These may not be his last roosters but I'm sure will be the last triple on...- nbell

Remington model 770
Thinking of picking up the youth model 770 in .243 for my son. He will be 8 next season and ready to start hunting. I have a model 70 in .257 Roberts but it is still too big for him. I have always been happy with Remington's stuff right out of the box. Curious if anyone had experience with this... -
November Whitetails
Well another year in Northern Idaho, and another year of a ton of fun. Since it was just Dad and I rather than our normal group of 4, we decided to hunt from the house this year. I am generally very picky on this hunt, therefore it has been quite a few years since I have filled my tag. This...
