Only thing better than getting to hunt with your wife, is getting to watch her shoot her dream bull. My motto is " They can't keep not being everywhere". I know it's not grammatically correct, but I hope it at least makes sense ;) we found this bull all by himself, in an area that you would...
I will be hunting in December 3 hours from cell service (without snow). I want a way to check in every night. Do any of you have any experience and/or advice on a satellite phone to rent?
Laying in bed Friday morning hoping that the weather was bad enough that they close the schools down ( I teach in Kuna--not likely that we close due to weather. The week before, every school in the valley had closed up except for us). A little after 5:30 I got up to check the my phone to see...
I competed in the "Train to Hunt" 3-D challenge @ Bogus Basin. The winner received a new Hoyt Vector bow! It almost cost me a heart attack, but the 40 yr. old man got'r done! I tested this bow out at Danny's shop in Caldwell. It is quiter, smoother and faster than my old Alphamax 35, but the...
I took a position on the HS varsity football staff and I running the summer weight/conditioning program, and I am the head coach of the Middle School football and wrestling teams. Talk about putting a dent into my summer 3-D and this falls hunting season. Anyway, I refuse to give up hunting...
ID F&G is working to prepare a new management plan for the Boise River WMA. This is the main hunt area for the late unit 39 hunt. I have heard there is a move to lower the hunter access and tags even further. If we want to keep late archery hunts we need to speak up. You can attend open houses...
Just had this e-mailed to me--trying to get an actual copy, but thought you might like to see it.
Dear Senators:
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission opposes Senate Bill 1283. This bill creates new public policy allowing landowners to sell their Landowner Appreciation Program tag (LAP) tag to...
Just got this done. This is the buck my wife shot last fall. I had to learn how to do taxidermy so I could afford to put animals like this on the wall. Just this year, I have my sons whitetail, my daughters muley, my muley and antelope to mount up. If I had a taxidermy business, I would...
So for my brothers birthday I gave him $6 and a 4 digit number. He, not being a serious hunter, had no idea what either was for. He had always told me that he would love to shoot a big mule deer....sooo, I figured I would at least give him the chance. The hunt that I had given him to put in...
Drew a tag in an area that I know well. To say the least, I was fired up. The scouting was a blast. My dad (63 yrs old) and I would hike in two to five miles during the afternoon, glass all evening, stay the night and glass all morning. Then we would hike out in the afternoon, relocate and...
Got tired of sitting in the antelope blind after a whopping 13 hours. Blinds are great when the antelope are coming in, but when all I see is sagebrush for 13 hours my ADHD kicks in! I decided to "be the decoy" for a day. Holy Crap--if it works like this every year, it should be illegal...
Any suggestions on ways to make this "be the decoy" work. Just bought it yesterday--looking forward to using it this weekend.
I know I have read about Big Fin acting like he was rutting or something-- I also have read about if the atnelope notice you, just mill around until they settle down...
I want to purchase the download version of huntGPSmaps . I am worried about the difficulty in transferring maps to my GPS. Sooooo, if you have this program is it difficult to download an area to your GPS? Do you download the entire state to your GPS? If you just download specific areas to...
What do you do to make sure your scope is square to your gun?
Any tricks you use when mounting a scope?
Is there anyone in the Treasure Valley that you trust to do this for you?
Thanks
I have an older backpack tent. It is lightweight and works great for me and my hunting partner. The only problem is that it is a pain to put up! I have to work 3 poles through a sleeve that runs the entire length of the tent. It takes a good ten minutes of frustration to put it up and take...
I have three Garmin Rhino GPS Units. Problem is they are all pretty basic. All I ever used it for was to mark glassing pts., trails, wallows ect. After last elk season, I want a GPS that has a color screen and that I could download topo maps with property ownership. I spent 4 days looking at...
What rangefinder have you had the best luck with? I just bought a new Bushnell ARC and have not been impressed. My old beat up Bushnell give me more accurate, further and consistent readings. I would like one that will read out to 1000 yards (Not that I am going to shoot this far, but it...
Family is headed to San Antonio the last week in March. I would like to do a little hunting while I am down there. Anyone done any hunting in that area? What should I go after--I really don't need to make it a big deal, just thought it would be fun to spend a day or two hunting. Thanks, Wade
On my 11th animal--On My Own--Just wondering if anyone had some advice on how to get the ear liners (huge) into through to base of the ear (tiny). I know, I know I am opening myself up to some creative comments---but I am in need of some advice. Thanks
