I recently returned from an overseas assignment and my household goods that were in storage had some items "lost". One of those items was a euro mount of my son's first buck. I have to claim the value of the lost item, and they don't pay anything for sentimental value. But how do you value...

I'm not one to ask for help... yet here I am. I'm a former Utah resident who took a job in Italy (poor me). While here I had an opportunity to hunt medal class fallow bucks.....a dream animal of mine. So I saved and saved until I could afford the hunt and I took my 11 year old son with me. We...

Going on Spain on a Beceite Ibex hunt pretty soon and started looking into the process to get trophies back to the states. Was wondering: 1) Do most people do this process themselves or hire someone to do it? If you hired a company, would like some recommendations. 2) Does the shipment have to...

Well, my overseas move is nearly here and I need to figure out how to store my elk mount. My moving company won't take it since I won't pay $3000 for them to build a crate and even if I build my own they won't take it due to insurance or some B.S. like that. So - it goes in storage in the...

Sad to say that I won't get to hunt Western Big Game for the next few years.... or any North American Big Game for that matter. I'm taking a job in Norway that leaves right before hunting season starts. I look forward to hunting the Norwegian Elg (Eurasian moose), reindeer, roe deer, and fallow...

Took my 10 year old on his first trip with a tag in his pocket in 76 last weekend. Got him a decent 15" wide 3x4, pretty nice for his first buck (pics coming soon). Other than that, hunted for 6 days and I only had a shot a 1 other buck that I missed. Wondering how pressured is this unit on...

Can I hunt SITLA land just like any other public land?

Bringing up oldest boy to Idaho this year for his first Mule Deer hunt, and my first out of state hunt. We're coming from Utah, I've been looking closely at unit 66. Other than the fact that it probably gets a lot of local traffic from Idaho Falls, what can you guys tell me about this unit? My...

Had my bino's and rangefinder stolen out of my truck from in front of my house on Memorial Day. I live in South Ogden. The bino's are Vortex Diamondback 12x50's and the rangefinder is Leupold TBR-1000i w/ DNA. They were in a camo Horn Hunter bino case. I'm checking KSL/ebay/craigslist/ &...

I'm considering purchasing a home use freeze drier for hunting meal prep as well as food storage. The unit is quite expensive. I'm considering renting it out to help off-set the damage to the bank account. So here is my question.... So many people diet and exercise to be in tip top shape for...

Looking at taking my 10 year old on his first big game hunt this year with a tag in his pocket. Wondering if anyone has any input on Unit 74. We will be coming from Utah and haven't hunted Idaho before. He'll be happy with any legal buck, and I'll shoot one if I see one I like. Just wondering...

Wondering if anyone has hunted on any of the CWMU's around promontory? Specifically looking at Bootjack and Engineer Springs. I plan to call the operator and ask the usual questions about access, expectations, and season dates, but wanted some first hand feedback if anyone has any. Thanks.

I know that time is running out but would like to get up and give it one or two more shots before time is up. I was up deer hunting last weekend just south of Little Dell, didn't back far enough for elk, but was wondering where someone who knows that area might recommend. Would you go up...

Considering a spring bear hunt this year in Idaho. This would be my first bear hunt. I live in Northern Utah and don't really want to travel up to Northern Idaho, as that is a bit too far for me to make a weekend trip. Wondering if anyone has any input on the spring bear in unit 67 or other...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-12-15 AT 02:22PM (MST)[p]If anyone is heading up to Currant Creek for the deer hunt and see a German Shephard running around, she is mine. She took off from our camp Saturday morning. She is very friendly, but shy. If she approaches your camp, she will respond best if you...

Well, regular season was not kind to me as I didn't have any encounters with Elk despite being all around fresh sign most the time. Oh well..... So now I move on to the extended. Wondering where I should try. I know the elk don't generally hang out on the front, so I'm kind of scratching my...

My first year of chasing muleys with a bow has been a challenge. I've passed a few shots on some small 2-points with little regret at this time. Last weekend I turned up a nice cagey 160-170" muley that strongly resembles the famous cemetery buck from a few years ago before he started growing...

Yesterday I found a GPS in an area in Northern Utah. If you lost it and can tell me the model of the unit, its color, and the area it was lost, I will gladly send it back to you.

With all the rain we've had this year, the skeeters have been pretty bad on all my scouting trips. I have found some well used water holes I may be visiting. What do you use for insect repellent that is also scent free? I've heard people mention a Thermacell (or something like that) but I have...

Went up scouting yesterday into a place that I've been looking at on maps and only saw one small two-point. All I can contribute it to is the fact that I saw lots of sheep and cattle in the area. I've been looking for info on the internet but can't find much. What are your experiences when...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-10-15 AT 08:47AM (MST)[p]Got my elk back from the taxi the other day. Pretty happy with how it turned out! Still can't believe I got this monster on a general season tag in public land. He scored 370 7/8.

Looking for clarification.... in the application book the crawfords is listed as limited entry, but in the hunt tables and maps on the Utah DWR site, the cache archery hunt includes the crawfords in the zone.... Is it legal to hunt there with archery equipment? Also, I know the Crawfords are...

This is my first year going after big game with a bow and I haven't hunted the Cache unit before. I have been studying maps and tried a little scouting. I went up towards Naomi Peak recently and decided to rule that area out for my first archery hunt. I want to stay up high and was looking...

Wanted to give a big shout out to Tim from Solo Hunters. My son recognized him at the Expo from one of his shows and went up and said Hello. Tim spent about 10 minutes exchanging stories with my boys and I talked with him for a while. Tim said that he was touched by my kids saying Hello and how...

Looking for a NR OTC tag somewhere in Southern Idaho for muleys. Wondering which unit you guys would recommend. I'm considering 56, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, or 78. I'm trying to get away from crowds as I'm use to hunting the Wasatch Front with everyone else and their brother. I will be rifle hunting...

Looking for a little info about possible 2015 deer tag for Southern Idaho. I live in Northern Utah and am considering hunting Southern Idaho or Western Wyoming for muleys, but Wyoming dates are dang near identical to our 2015 general bull hunt. My question is can I expect to draw something for...

Just got home from my first elk hunt and have a nice trophy to stare at forever. Woke up early Saturday morning and went on a couple mile hike to where I planned to sit opening morning. 5 minutes before shooting began I had 2 spikes, 4 cows, and 2 calves walk right in front of me. One of the...

There is a chunk of land south of the Hardscrabble CWMU I want to get to during the general deer hunt and can get there on the Great Western Trail. My question is: Am I allowed to trespass through the portion of the Hardscrabble CWMU as long as I stay on the Great Western Trail to get there? I...
