Drew a doe tag today. Kind of cool as we love antelope meat and being a tag junky, ill hunt anywhere I can just about any time. Hunt is August 1-11th. Shouldn't be too hard to kill a doe antelope but for those more familiar with the area/hunt - any tips or advice? Probably tent camp it as it...

I had it last year and killed a big goat...Reach out if you want...

My 12 year old son drew the 39 youth extra doe tag but hit the lottery with the late 46 Bull Tag....There are some toads on that hunt. He could kill one heck of a bull for his first Idaho Elk.

After all summer of scouting, the time finally came to punch my Idaho Antelope Supertag. I had picked this goat out as my shooter this past weekend, and put it all together opening morning and put him down. I spent over 25 days scouting this summer looking over hundreds of bucks. The supertag is...

Not sure if they are taking new clients, but we have been using Tackets in Nampa for years. Spendy, but they do a top notch job.

I wasn't able to make it down as planned. We will get it figured out and find a doe for him shoot.

Guys I appreciate the responses...I'm going to drive down this Sunday and spend the day taking a look and getting use to the roads and terrain...who knows, may run into a bomber in 54 that would be worth noting...Really appreciate the leads.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-12-19 AT 02:00PM (MST)[p]I drew this tag on the leftover draw (wanted decent odds at a tag to give to my son if I drew) and have sinced signed it over to my 11 year old son. The unit is essentially the top half of unit 54 (hunt doesn't allow you to hunt down by the border)...

The supertag search has been fun so far - have spent a total of around 20 days scouting 38,39,46,45 and found some good ones. However, I noticed a very limited (5 tags) hunt in 76 down by Idaho, Utah, Wyoming border east of Bear Lake. Good harvest stats on horn length in the past and a lot of...

Maybe my situation is different, but I drew a super tag. Have known about it for about 5-6 weeks now. Already been out scouting 4 time for a total of 7 days and put 800 miles on my truck on those trips. I guess it just depends on how much time you got and how serious you take the tag.

Mine was deposited back on my card yesterday.

I have access to some pretty good private land in 39 that holds some good goats, that is my big plus in that unit. I have archery hunted antelope as well as tagged around on elk hunts in 46 - have a good idea what that offers. 54 I haven't actually hunted - but considering everyone I talk to...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-17-19 AT 09:38AM (MST)[p]I can hunt any open unit during those regular seasons - so since I am rifle hunting basically can start hunting the Mid September openers... I am trying make a "hitlist" of 5-6 bucks ahead of time and then decide on the bests ones to chase come the...

Alright, now that I have drawn the tag - time for some intel research. I have my hotspots in mind (39, 46, 54) as I have hunted these before for other species as well as having access to some private properties in these units. I actually went out and looked around 46 some more yesterday and...

I got the call - Antelope Super Tag coming my way...Excited to say the least. 38,39, 46, 54 - so many good hunts out there.

Pretty proud dad right now. My 10 year old son - Tavin - was able to harvest his first big game animal this past weekend. This nice 22" 4 point was taken in the Central Idaho backcountry. He made an awesome 312 yard shot to put him down. We covered over 8 miles in 2 days of rough Idaho...

Let me clarify....This person does not guide any more and hasn't in a couple years....Anyways, excited to get out there and chase some goats.

Pretty excited, went into the draw with 2 points under the special and drew the tag. I put in for it after advice from a local. I hunted a few years ago in unit 25 with SNS outfitters. Became good friends with my guide on that hunt and he recommended 73 as his son works on a large ranch that has...

I appreciate all the advise. I switched my application to unit 90. I may not draw it this year with 3 points in the special but I will take my chances as it seems to be a better unit as far as animals and access.

I have no problem staying in the special draw...I really want to hunt this fall for goats and if paying the difference helps - I am good on that.

What other units should I look at? I just want a decent unit to hunt in central/western wyoming that has good public land and some decent goats. Maybe 89, try for 93 or 90? I have 3 points, but paid for the special tag and a bonus point so I guess going in I will have 4 points and the special...

I decided to cash in my points and this tag should be a 100 percent for me this year. I am coming from Boise and wanted to try to stay on the western part of the state. Any tips, recommendations for hunting, camping, ect. for this unit? I am not looking for booner buck, just a good mature mid...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-30-18 AT 09:22PM (MST)[p]I have been hunting in the salmon zone 21 and 21a for the ast 15 years....It is big country that rivals wilderness areas as far as vastness and steepness. I hunt hard and put many miles on foot and get miles away from roads. Even with that, elk hunting...

My wife drew this tag (unit 46 and east part of 41) and so I get to play guide and find her an elk. I was on this hunt last year with a tag holder but his tag was the late late hunt that started 12/15....We found large herds of elk out towards bruneau canyon and it was a quick hunt. Wondering...

I am an Idaho resident and as such Fish and Game allows you to buy your general Idaho deer tag, but also allows you to pay non resident pricing and purchase a second tag that is out of the non resident pull. So for around $320 ($20 resident and $300 non resident) anyone in Idaho can get two...

It was another good year this year on deer here in Idaho. I always get two tags - my resident general tag, and a non resident tag so I can hunt 2 deer. I always try to find a decent first buck and trophy hunt the second. This year it worked out to a tee. The first buck is a 20" 3x4 - nothing...

have this new to me Leica Televid 20-60x77 and I need a better tripod for it. I had a light $60 vanguard I used for my Chronograph but this heavy scope wobbles on it and doesn't allow for a good clear view. I want something I can pack, but it doesnt have to be an ultra light. Also, I am on a...

Anybody got any good recommendations for Game Processors that will take boned out meat? Going to Canada for moose this fall and more than likely will be bring meat back boned out in a freezer in back of my truck. The processor I normally use (Tackets in Nampa) doesn't take meat not on the bone.

Leica Geovid 10x42...Amazing optical tool

LAST EDITED ON Oct-04-16 AT 04:52PM (MST)[p]I had a great hunt this past week in Central Wyoming. Saw hundreds of goats and passed up shooting chances on at least 18 borderline bucks. Found this old wide guy and couldn't say no as I loved his character. Horns were 14.25 and 14.5". Shot was 371...

Thanks for all the feedback...I am leaving at midnight friday morning the 30th and driving the 13 hours hoping to arrive around early to mid afternoon. Going to stick to the interstate and go through the Ogden - Evanston route. Thanks!

Driving over next week for my Antelope Hunt...Mapquest shows 3 routes all relatively close as far as travel time. What would you recommend? 1. Thru Salt Lake and up from there 2. Through Soda, rock springs, and in from there 3. Idaho Falls, Jackson, and in from there Really am thinking the...

I really appreciate all the responses. I am pretty excited for this hunt. Not sure what part of the unit we are hunting, but I am assuming the southern part as the camp I am staying at is out past Douglas and appears to be at least 30-45minutes drive to get to the bottom half boundary of the...

I am from Boise but can't draw an Antelope Tag to save my life in Idaho, so I put in and drew unit 25 in Wyoming and proceeded to book a hunt with SNS outfitters. So far every thing seems good. They are saying a 70-75" goat is normal for this area. Does anyone have anything to share about this...

In the last 8-10 years I have owned the binoculars from the following manufactures: Zen Ray Leupold Nikon Burris Meopta Vortex Bushnell.... AND Leica...I can say without any doubt, the single best purchase I have ever made for hunting are my current Leica Geovid HD 10X42 Binos and its not even...

Wanted to share some pics of my 2015 buck. This was an October DIY OTC hunt in the Central Idaho Wilderness. Shot him around 3 miles in at the bottom of a nasty basin...Terrible pack out - that I would do every year going forward for more memories like this one! 27.5" wide, 4x5. The amazing...

Looking at buying some KUIU pants soon - specifically the Guide Pants and Possibly the Alpine Pants. My question is how are they cut and fit? Normally I wear a 38" waist and larger thigh area. Some pants I will try on wont even come close to fitting depending on the cut. I am hoping to not...

I was in for moose - so nothing great for me. But I still am in for: 32 Bear 46 Unlimited Archery Antelope I have my wife in for Antelope rifle - 46 Deer Late - 41 Cow Elk Late - 46

Does anyone have an idea approx. when they come out? Im hoping to beat the 1/15 odds for a 38 turkey tag..lol

I have been contemplating buying one of these (Sendero) for years - mainly just to say I have a true dedicated LR rifle and now I am really thinking about pulling the trigger. Are these rifle good to go out of the box or can I still expect to have to glass bed and work on the trigger? Any...
