Yeah, you are correct.

I can and do appreciate your stance on the issue, and yes it is a very concerning issue. I do not and did not support the reintroduction. Hopefully people on both sides of the issue can find some common ground.

Going to chime in here, life long native resident of Idaho, I hunted prior to 1995 when wolves were reintroduced and after in central wilderness units in Idaho. Have wolves had an impact, no doubt, did it completely destroy Idaho's deer and elk populations, no! My Family was on the "they will...

Hunted just south of Chico yesterday, killed 5 specs, guys said most of the birds headed back north, said they lost 1 million birds over the last couple weeks, went from shooting 50 a day to 1/2 dozen.

It's been horrible, parked the jet boat for the year, zero mallards. Been hunting the Snake for 35 years, worst year.

I've hunted 39 for over 10 years. To be honest, there's actually more deer. 2018-2019 we saw a few less deer.

I spoke with F&G, they are changing Vendors. Price's will increase for NR, and OTC zone/areas will have quota's for NR. F&G feels that some Nonresidents will stop coming to Idaho if they can't get a certain zone/tag because they are sold out, so the increase in tags will offset fewer NR coming...

"Dude, of course I want to win the pack!"

^^^^^ Nice buck, can't remember the last time I was within a mile of a road when I shot a deer.

Nice buck, OTC hunts have been tough, last few winters have really affected the deer hunting...nice work...

I'm half full, still see lots of deer etc., but I do think it could be better. I'm with elks96, I really do believe the massive increase in predators is playing the major roll. As long as the States continue to take away hunting opportunities for predators, it will get worse. Back in the day...

Not to get in a big internet battle and I'm not an expert in biology or forestry, but I've been hunting the same unit for 10 years now, one of the heaviest hunted in the state. Saw as many deer this year as I've seen in the past, lots of young bucks that need a couple more years, lots of doe's...

I've never hunted any of the units in Utah, I don't know if I've even driven through this one. But this is a common thread across the West. Two things have changed since the big mule deer boom of 60's-70's. We have WAY more elk, and WAY WAY WAY more predators, big cats, and coyotes, and...

Custom Butcher does a good job. If you're expecting a smile and a warm welcome, go somewhere else. My meat always comes out great.

I want that pack.
