So you're saying there's a chance! Good words and advice! Good luck on your hunts friend!

What is?

Anyone have any info on this unit, advice? Densities, trophy potential? General areas to look, pm me with anything you don't want to share on the open market. Not looking for honey holes. Going up to Gibbonsville the last week of the season. How are the wolves?

We were up there the same time, but only spent the morning and and evening there. Same report, though we did see a doe and 2 fawns. We moved down closer to Leadore and found a lot more deer there. The problem I see is that they close the roads that get you in the high country where I assume the...

Hey guys and gals I'm back. I missed last season due to changing jobs because of the pandemic. 1st hunting season missed in 23 years! I posted this in the Idaho forum and got no response. Hoping someone might have some info here. Anyhow...changing things up this year and trying a totally new...

Unique is kind of an understatement! Nice job!

Think mountain goat country, especially in the early season. As high and steep as you can get that's where you will find the big bucks. Especially in avalanche chutes on East and not North facing slopes. Also it is very important to be there at 1st light and last light.

I guess no one goes to either of these units in November.

I managed to draw one of the capped resident cow elk tags in 45-52. Anyone have any advice on where the elk will be in November? Will they be on the Fairfield side or the Glenns Ferry side? Looking to put some meat in the freezer, but also looking forward to seeing those crazy huge monster...

Hey elkassassin, I appreciate the thoughts and this may be the only song in existance that actually mentions the Owyhee Mountains by name, But Claude Dallas was a cold blooded killer that should have served a life sentence. He is no kind of hero. I would have paid an untold sum for that nice...

Just got back from a hunt that could have had a much different outcome. Elk hunting 2018 My buddy was only able to meet me at my campsite for one day of accompanying me on a late season bull hunt in Southern Idaho's Owyhee County. I had been there a day and a half already, and was excited to...

The rut happens every year at the same time. Because you aren't seenig it doesn't mean it isn't happening. It winds down at the same time each year. Weather has no effect on the rut. Snow on the ground simply makes the deer easier to detect. God has equipped his creation to know when the...

Thanks for the helpful replies! I was planning on taking the trailer all full of water thinking that keeping the temp above 50 would be plenty to keep the lines from freezing. You've talked me out of that foolishness! Thanks! Looks like it's sponge baths and honey buckets for the next 7...
