"100 years goes faster than you think" Hunt two tags, and help your father. If life does not allow for that prioritize. 1- Hunt with your father over all else, I've been hunting without mine for over 25 years. Time on the mountain with Father/your kids would always be my first hunting...

Though I haven't used cameras for deer, or elk, they have been an important part of my wolf trapping. Losing them is just another handcuff added to our already to restrictive wolf harvest methods.

Congrats!! A nice bull for sure. Hope you guys got to stay, and enjoy a few days of chasing deer.

Lightning crk road is washed out, and wont be repaired for a couple of years. Try Trail crk or Grouse crk. Very little timber harvest in this unit, Trail creek has the majority of timber harvest. IF you are hunting after Nov 10th I would grab a deer tag. This was a trophy Unit Some great...

Sportsmen can make a difference. The Idaho Panhandle was being destroyed by wolves. We were losing both elk and moose at alarming rates, tag numbers have been reduced, and numbers still plummet in all of the remote areas that wolves called home. Elk hunters started trapping wolves, most of us...

Consider looking into Clark fork Outfitters, in Units 4, and 4a. These Units have recently had the seasons extended, and you can now take two bears in these Units. The new rules are an attempt by IDFG to slow predation on elk calves. I have not hunted with Leon, but I spend a lot of time in...

Congrats!! Thanks for all the help in saving elk. Taking five of the hardest animals to hunt in the States is no small task. No doubt a combination of hard work and a developed skill. My hat is of to you. I sent you a pm regarding your new trapping adventures. Thank you for sharing...

They figured out how to keep the system from crashing, send the tags out in the mail first. A friend just called, and his elk tag was in the mail today. Good luck to all!

BPK you are right the trapping wolves has proven to be a very valuable management tool. I have several friends with over twenty wolves each, they all rely on the support of a sportsmen's group called F4WM. $35 to become a member. F4WM now has over 500 supporting members. The only thing this...

34 wolves killed in unit 4 last year. That is more than any other unit in the State. Unfortantely those wolves were not eating mosquitos. Unit 4 is on a serious trend to become the next dead zone. That being said you can still find one, its just harder than it used to be. Enjoy the trip, and...

To those that don't have it you cant explain it. To those that do have it, you don't have to explain it. It's in your soul.
