Elk Hunting in Idaho - newbie
They are spot on with the controlled hunt... Idaho is a true lottery so no bonus or preference points, you might as well you have as good of a chance as anyone. You spend enough time with the harvest stats, the decent units start jumping out.- Treeline_Pursuits

Making sausage
I do a couple ways... 1. I use pork fat sometimes. I usually go for 10-15%.... The normal Johnsonville brats are crazy fat, hence why they always catch on fire.. With low fat content you will not want to cook to well done or will get dry, but much healthier that way. 2. I've also buy pork...- Treeline_Pursuits

South Dakota pheasent
I used to run 4-6 dogs and was in South Dakota every year for many years. I hunted primarily around Pierre. If you are going to go early in the season you will have lots more hunters to deal with and the birds get pretty wary and wise fast.
