Good luck, guy. This hunt is a shell of what it used to be. The overwhelming majority of bears in the unit have been annihilated over the last 2 years. Used to be one of the most unique bear hunting opportunities in the lower 48. Now it sucks. For real. It’s still Hells Canyon country, though...

Homer is right. Last year they did their best but we’re still pulling stragglers off the east side of Bennett late into the third week of October.

Don’t eat brain or spinal matter. No problems.

The sheep will be in there heavy if you are planning on the SE section of the wilderness. It’s gonna be a factor for you guys. It’s a bummer that they moved the archery season up a few years ago- I had my tag in ‘16 when it was still a September tag and the sheep had cleared-out. Tremendous...

There is a link to the minutes from the last Board of Land Commissioners meeting Mr. Williams (Trident) is an enemy of public lands and Western heritage. If he can take meetings with commissioners, we should too. They are elected officials after all. Please observe public forum protocols if...

Nice, man. Two great ones.

Indeed. Labor Day-Thanks

Such a rad buck. Mount looks great. Great field photo as well, man.

I’m with Fullthrottle on this- Sept 2 is pretty late for an archery opener in CO. It certainly doesn’t incentivize bowhunting. Hunting early is important to high-country bowhunters. Most states openers hover around Memorial Day weekend, the undisputed heavyweight champion of public land usage-...

Get out there and fill those elk tags, guys and gals. The Mule deer sure are in trouble and although we can't always change our home-states management plans for deer, we sure can put a hurt on one of our beloved Mulies biggest competitors. Go get ?em. Best of luck on hour hunts.

Bittercreek/Diablo & Sons for sure. As local as it gets. Drink Idaho Beer. I can vouch for elkboy on his ID status. Bred/Born/Cut his teeth in 208. Quite a few guys on the webs here sporting an ?Idaho handle? that aren't Idaho guys. We know we're quickly becoming outnumbered and mostly...

A few T-posts and driver to complement your come-along can help in wide-open country. A few feet of split rubber or garden hose can help with cable bite and creep on your anchors as well. Good luck out there. Be safe.

Gotta piggyback on that. My second look makes me think that you guys don't have a white-tail tag, so unit 1 it is! Good luck on your regular tag hunt.

I don't want to throw wrenches in your plans, but you could save a couple hundred bucks on gas and see some great white-tail hunting in north-central Idaho. Unit 1 is beautiful and you guys seem like you have a pretty solid plan, but you might look at a few units between the Salmon and...

I am with Kimbersig on this one. Get rid of paper apps. It's 2018, for Pete?s sakes.

Am I the only one who notices this looks like a taxidermied Head? His ears are pinned back and he is resting on his nose with his neck suspended above the ground. Either way. It's a great buck.

That's a wine barrel; there are more than 5,000 craft breweries in the US. Always a good idea to check with your local brewers who age beer in wine/whiskey barrels. If you are in wine country- check with vintners. It is a cool pedestal mount. A used whisky barrel coming from a distillery will...

It seems to be a pretty pessimistic thread, and I won't speak to the political aspects of Boise, as I don't know enough (unfortunately). The quality of life is pretty well known, with lots of major publications touting the great amenities and recreational opportunities here. I was raised...

Keep your eyes up for birds. Kill-sites and gut-piles are always a great bet for sucking in fall bears.

Your area? Your username is D6 native Isn't that a California thing?

Best of luck to those who draw; no sheep tag for me again...

That's a turd! Good luck, better start saving for the taxidermy bill.

That vertebrae and jaw look like they have seen the better part of a summer.

Has your buddy flown into this area previously? Many of the strips are primative at best. I won't dissuade anyone from trying the hunt, but I will caution everyone from flying with amateurs into the Frank Church. Best of luck on your hunts.

The Hells Canyon units are controlled for deer. I think 13 is the easiest to draw., because access is tough with most of the stuff on top being private. Most of the deer are up high anyhow, but it is pretty tough to hunt Hells Canyon from the bottom. 18 is your best bet. Not terribly tough to...

Seven Devils Outfitters is an option for spot and stalk bear- no baiting in their unit.You hunt mostly private ground- although that private ground is in the states best bear unit, with non-residents drawing at sub 5%. Accommodations are pretty luxurious. Opportunity to take a B&C color-phase...

I think Killgore only runs jets. I can't speak for Wild River Adventures; haven't heard of them. You might contact Jerry Hughes and Hughes River Expeditions. They are out of Cambridge and are one of Idaho's oldest and most reputable crews. This is shaping up to be a better water year and should...

Any 6 in ID is a great success. Management is for numbers, not skewed for upper age class bulls to develop in most units. Better think of letting the arrow fly or puling the trigger if you have a 6 in range. There are always a few truly exceptional bulls that are taken in Idaho every year, and...

Go get 'em. My first comment was accurate- as others will attest to. 18 is a zoo during the rifle seasons. Cow tags - bull tags (including outfitters allocations) - Extra cow tags - deer tags ( including outfitter allocations and an OTC white-tail season. It's way too many tags for a fairly...

Best of luck to your son. 18 is an absolute mad house, and the roads (all 3 of them) are a traffic jam of ATV's and trucks during season. The comments are right on concerning putting a bit of dirt on your boots, you won't have to hike too far, and the snake side produces most of the good bucks...

Hunt numbers change every year as well, kinda sucks, but always happens. Best of luck whichever way you go.

Hey- you probably don't want to try parking and hiking into 20A- that would be almost logistically impossible. There will probably already be snow on the ground and a big storm would leave a guy in a tough position, not to mention having miles of trail before you would even be in 20A. For a...

More than likely just his receipt for controlled hunt application. They look like tags. My Dad is a moron as well, thinks he draws tags every year. Good luck with the draws... Next week hopefully.

Congrats on the Super Tag! Hope you get it done with a bow. One of last years Super Tag holders took a 365 bull in 42. The Owyhees and 54 have been turning out some of the states biggest bulls. Not a bad place to start. Best of luck- Antler growth should be decent this year to boot.

Yeah- That is rad. Straight up.
