    Need some truck advice - F-150 down...

    Took my 2013 F-150 to the dealer for a tune up and they come back with the bad news....#8 cylinder is dead. 20% Compression. Never missed a service on it. It's the 5.0 Coyote V8 with only 89,000 miles. Dealer basically said "sorry bro". They quoted $8K for a new crate engine that won't even be...

    Meat scientist Dr. Chris Calkins on Meateater

    Very happy to finally see a crossover of the field of meat science and hunting in the mainstream media. Dr. Calkins is a leader in his field and I think he nailed this podcast. There is so much lore or hearsay surrounding meat quality for whatever reason, and it is especially magnified in the...

    Anybody in Boise or SW Idaho want to make some money and help a fellow hunter?

    I got my side by side stuck in deep on a hunt and I'm out of options to get it out. It's down by the Nevada border....anybody free tomorrow to run down for a few hundred bucks? I can also show you some cool elk country and some info for how to access some private spots in Southern Idaho. Thanks.

    Humbled by the gunsmith

    Well, today I walked out of the gun store feeling defeated. Long story short, I have been struggling most of the summer with grouping a new Savage Storm 110 7mm mag with a Vortex HP scope. Tried re-mounting scope several times, two different kinds of ammo, shooting off of a led sled, etc. I...

    Cattlemen debating public lands

    This is a message board for cattlemen where they are discussing the new BLM head: http://www.advantagecattle.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16270 Some pretty inflammatory (to hunters) statements in there, but even some of these guys point out the value lost when public lands are sold...

    Bolt locking forward after firing - Savage 110 Storm 7mm Rem Mag

    Anyone ever had a gun where the bolt locks forward after firing? I'm not talking sticky, this thing locks up to where I need to tap the bolt back out with a mallet. When the case expands after firing it just seals itself in there. Brand new rifle. This started happening about 20 shots into the...

    A smart phone for hunters

    They did it guys. A smart phone that will run OnX Maps for weeks on a single charge. It's basically a power bank made by Energizer that runs Android. It's even legal to take on a plane! I know you can just take a power bank for your regular phone but this is appealing to cut out the clutter and...

    Doc recommendations near Boise? Knee has worn out.

    I'm 31 and left knee is all but done. Did some trail running just to stay in shape in late teens early 20s. Got into cycling competitively for 5 or so years in my 20s but never had an injury. 10,000 miles a year for a few seasons but moved away from a great cycling city. The past few years have...

    Lefties, left out?

    My first and only rifle was a new lefty Rem 700 CDL in 270. A pre buyout rifle from circa 2002. Still shoots like a dream. Just now looking for a new rifle in a magnum caliber and am underwhelmed to say the least. For sub $1000 rifles what are we looking at? I handled a Tikka and did not get...

    Sean Gerrity/American Prairie Reserve on Meateater

    Did anyone else catch this podcast out this week? Very informative about the APR and where it's going. The vision presented by Mr. Gerrity is ambitious and good for them for taking action on a vision in a big way. However, he seemed shaky on including hunters as a permanent part of that vision...

    Anyone here age their birds?

    I came across a video last summer about a guy that ages his ducks on the garage floor for 7 to 10 days before cleaning. I've also heard about aging pheasants by hanging by the neck. Last Sunday I came home with 2 pheasants and a hen mallard so I went for it. My garage temp was 38 degrees so I...

    Elk habitat?

    Would anyone with experience archery hunting elk be able to offer some advice? I am seeing two different types of habitat in places I'm considering. Habitat 1: This area has big drainages with ridges going up to 9 or 10k. Not a lot of flat bowls and what looks like decent timber on north...

    October rifle or archery during the rut?

    I had my first Idaho general season rifle hunt last year and it turned into a meat hunt pretty fast. It was October rifle and bucks were just not out. In 5 days of glassing I turned up two bucks. I went home with a 2 point on the last day. This year I have a bow and noticed some OTC options to...

    Flatlander wandering around Idaho

    Hey everyone. I'm a Midwest transplant now in Southwest Idaho. I found this place that seems like a bunch of like minded folks. Looking to learn everything public land hunting, conservation, and advocacy. Coming from a private land state, the amount of public land I wake up to every day blows my...
