I have 3 pounds of N568 if that interests you. I would be interested in trading for H1000. I’m located in south east Idaho but could probably arrange to get it to Utah

Even though you are battling it out with the OIL guys and guys that put in for other units it is far less people then the remaining unsuccessful applicants trying to become the first of maybe a few alternants. Simply put less people are willing to pay the extra app fees Now vs the amount of...

I agree. This is my thoughts on fixing the problem. Move the app deadline up 5-10 days move the tag pick up date up about the same. Then have a short 5 day application period for the second draw. I think by doing this we could make the second results available close to August 1st. I think ISBs...

The IDFG has strategically set the dates for the first draw so they can capitalize on other states draw results coming out before the application dead line. Idaho is known as a backup state for non residents and applying for hunts. They aren’t out anything to not apply every year since we don’t...

Elkhuntin where do I sign up???? Those are incredible bulls and what I dream of finding on this hunt. What year did you go and what was your season dates? Did you hunt from a lake or were you on a hilltop?

I’m planning to put a deposit down on a diy Alaska caribou hunt this winter or coming spring. I’ve done some research and talked to Outdoors International, Tok Air, and 40 Mile Air. Have also looked up Ram Aviation and Arrowhead Outfitters. I’m interested in advise on any of these transporters...

One thing that has never been discussed and ISB will not respond is how would the proposal work for those that apply as a group in the first round. I usually apply as a group of 4 for deer and elk either a group of 2-4. If we have to be drawn as alternates with our whole group that would make it...

These are pretty much all of my points. I’m actually the one that made the list and am glad to see it getting passed on. Idaho State Bow hunters has seemed to try to fight this from every angle, from the draw being too late, free application fees, believing it will have better draw odds. I’m all...

They usually sell out within a few days after they put them up for sale for residents to buy a second tag. The second tags are what is left from the non resident quota. I think that date is August 1 but not positive.

Was the buck that almost touches possibly shot in 52a or 68? I know a guy that was hoping to shoot a pre scouted buck that looks very similar. He has a rifle tag.

Thermopolis does seem like a neat little town to visit. We will be looking for the better bucks we can find. Since they all have little experience I have a hard time making them hold out if they like a buck. I will discourage them from shooting any 1 1/2 year old bucks though. Thanks for your...

Thanks for the feedback. I was disappointed when I seen the reservation. I didn't even know you could hunt it there with permission. I live next to one in Idaho and there is no big game hunting on it for non tribe members but they do allow special waterfowl and upland game permits and fishing.

Looks like 110 is out of their reach. Sounds like you have experience around 83 do you know anything about 76. If you have any iinfo about 76 type 2 that you are willing to share feel free to pm me. Thanks for the info you have provided.

The youngest will be in for a doe tag for sure if they are available. Just so she can get some shooting in right away, since she would be the most interested in holding out for the best buck we could find.

I am looking forward to this hunt as much as any that I have planned in the near future. This is kind of Dads dream vacation before the oldest moves on in life. 82 is what I am leaning towards with the accessibility and 76-2 is probably my second choice just not sure how accessabe the river and...
