45 has much more winter range habitat and more deer. 2 of the last 5 winters have been very tough on the herd. I hunted with my bro in 52 this year during the muzzy hunt. Glassed nonstop for 6 days and didn't see a buck over 150, so he put on zero stalks and ate the tag. There were 2500 cow...

It seems to me the best way to reduce the crowding while still offering opportunity is to require all hunters to choose a weapon and only hunt those dates. Would reduce hunters during all seasons and give each hunter a better opportunity with the weapon they prefer. This seems so obvious that...

Shooter any day. 180++

There are whitetail along the river bottom near Riggins, but most of them are on private property. There are far more muleys in the area. There are a lot of whitetail on top of the ridge though on the road between Riggins and Grangeville that takes you by Mt. Idaho. It is east of the river...

To film long distances I use a digital camera and a spotting scope with homemade adapter and/or a phoneskope, which I just got and works great with my S6 phone. I also have a few Panasonic camcorders which I use on the Solvid head cam mount, tripod, and/or in my hand. The camcorders have up to...

If he's the biggest I could find, or as back up, then definitely. Plus, he might have a little left in him.

I put him near 190. He would look huge at 40 yards. My heart would have to be set on a different buck to even consider passing.

Good work. What a memory!

What you saw there is the actual mating of turkeys. With birds, there is no insertion. The tom positions his organ over that of the hen, and his seed is dropped onto the hen's genitalia. Or something like that.

LAST EDITED ON May-14-16 AT 02:29PM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]I took my daughter on a coyote hunt on Superbowl Sunday. She operated the call and brought in a pair of dogs for dad to arrow. An archery coyote double for her first predator hunt ever! Hope she doesn't expect it every time. We ran...

Lost my GPS a few years ago. I purchased Onyx Hunt Maps for 2 states at $30 each, and don't even consider replacing the GPS. I used the GPS religiously, but it is just not needed any more. My phone and Hunt Maps have brought me off the mountain in the dark with no problems and no service on...

It depends on the quality of buck you are looking for and the weapon you're using. If bow hunting, you will likely need more than 7 days to get two bucks down; one buck is tough enough, and according to most hunt's success rates, not likely to happen at all. 3 days to get two great bucks down...

That was a horrible shot. "The wind is blowing hard," he said; all the more reason to take a running shot I guess. I can't figure out why they would make it part of the video. Why not just leave it out of the video as if it never happened and never speak of it or attempt it again. I certainly...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-11-16 AT 12:49PM (MST)[p]Looks a lot like the archery "Trophy Spike" I got in 2014, WA! Here's the Film It Yourself hunt and kill shot video: The base even looks the same. Likely a similar injury I'd say.
