Not much that hasn’t already been said. I used to hunt that area. To many people and the rifle cow hunts starting august 1 in the fields have changed the elk patterns a lot and so I moved on. You will deal with lots of pressure and elk moving back into montana. You can’t out hike people...

Point systems and methods of tag distribution is a whole other discussion. I like the random system for controlled hunts. however if it when they start capping “general season” tags I know I would be pretty bummed if I didn’t get a tag for three or four years when others had one every year just...

I think this is a very accurate statement. The fact is it can’t stay the same forever with the growth Idaho is seeing. You cannot give unlimited tags for a very limited resource without it eventually having a detrimental impact. There are lots of examples in the west of how to do this...

With the population exploding in Idaho most people have seen a steady decline in their hunting experience. More people, fewer animals and more pressure on the game that is there. My question is how far will the fish and game let it go before they make some changes. There are only so many...

There is a small chunk of public land south of big mountain on the Morgan county side. It holds moose and quite a few. I had a cow tag for that unit and killed there I saw multiple bulls on that piece.

Whatever gun you go with I highly recommend no excuse bullets they awesome for an all lead bullet. I shoot the 54 cal with 90 Grains if powder. Shot this cow Saturday she only went 30 yds and was done.

I drew a cow moose tag for this hunt this year, I had thought I put in for the slc side which I am familiar with but I ended up on the East canyon side. Anyways I know it’s mostly private property with exception of the East canyon WMA just wondering if anyone has any advice or is familiar with...

Oh and yes you will receive a receipt from the 501C organization for the entire amount paid at the auction for the purchase of a voucher. I have bought a couple but its been years ago and do not have the receipts still.

At the auction you are buying a voucher that allows you to purchase the permit. You are still required to take the voucher to the fish and game and pay the established fair market value for the permit. This makes the amount you payed for the voucher a donation to a 501c organization for the...

Sent you a PM ELKSLAYER

The extra tags have really made this a tougher hunt. We had a tag last year and it was a quick half day hunt. Also last year we never saw another hunter, this year we have seen multiple every day. We are finding some elk but they are pushed way back up the hills and away from the roads. Have...

What is amazing to me is everyone I know in Idaho complains about non-resident over crowding. The part I don't get is that in 2017 Idaho sold 78K general elk tags, up to 12.8K can be sold to Non-residents, and a portion of those go to residents as second choice. So for every Non-Resident...

It's true that consolidation can result in higher retail prices but in this case I doubt it. They still have to compete with online which is the biggest driver of retail pricing in today's world. This is not true on all items like guns and stuff but they still have to compete with the other...

I had that tag a while back like 10+ years ago, we parked at Big Mtn Pass and worked our way south down the great western trail. Almost every draw running to the west had moose in them, we picked out the easiest one for a packout and took her down. It was a 2 hr hunt no scouting lots of moose...

I had the tag a few years ago, I hunted the first 20 days wished I would have waited and hunted the end. After 20 days I killed the best moose I found, but the rut was just getting going good when I killed. The bigger factor is the leaves coming off the trees, the later the better for...
