I just got back from a week hunting bears/camping in Idaho with the family. We always have such a great time, I love spring bear hunting. The girls weren't too serious about killing bears this year (they have both killed bears before), but did hunt a few evenings and got to see a bear. In fact...

My daughter took this beautiful cinnamon bear last Saturday. It was an awesome spot and stalk (spot and ambush really) hunt. One solid shot from her 30.06 put him on the ground fast! This is her second bear. You can see more pics and the full story in my 2015 Hunt Adventure.

Anyone interested in running bears in Idaho unit 22 this fall? My daughter has a tag. PM me.

[p][p align=right]Thread Views Counter.... Another pretty good fatty, for a spring bear. Wow! Not too bad, at least he come in the light. I took that fine boar in the last picture about 5 minutes after my honey burn stopped smoking the other day. We were only in the stand about 20...

We've got a couple of good ones on camera...time to go hunt! Anyone else gonna share pics this spring? Pretty quiet on the forum.

My current UT hunting license expires Feb 16. I can apply online for Expo tags before it expires. Do I need a valid license when I validate in person at the Expo? I think I've done this before, but I can't remember.

For what it is worth, Idaho legislation has been proposed to increase resident fees: http://legislature.idaho.gov//legislation/2015/H0032.pdf It is probably justified and needed. However, it really hurts when your paying for 5 people to hunt and fish in Idaho and they add $1 to $5 to every...

Just a few days of hunting left. Anyone have any GENERAL advice on how to hunt moose late in the season? There is 10-12 inches of snow over there now. Where will they be hanging out?

My 9 year old daughter (will be 10 in September) drew unit 45 deer tag. We need help knowing where to take her. She is not too athletic, so a shot with from or across a road will be best. Sorry if she drew your dream tag, but we welcome you to ride along with us on her first hunt ever. She is...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-25-14 AT 08:59AM (MST)[p]I drew a unit 86 Pronghorn tag this year. I probably should have withdrawn my app after drawing my ID Moose tag, but I didn't. :) :( I hunted deer in the area with my brother a few years ago and saw some nice antelope. Any info on hunting speed goats...

I just saw my Moose permit show up in my tag/permit/license history! Now I know the results page was correct. Hopefully it will arrive in the mail today or tomorrow. :D

IDFG are looking for ideas to improve the LAP program. I put a few thoughts together and sent it to them. Please feel free to point out weaknesses in my proposal. More importantly, send your good ideas to IDFG so we can stop their poor proposal, and help create a better one. Alternative...

Post up picks of that Canadian bruin, eh?

Get er done Idaho! I need my tag ASAP.

My 16 year old Jonny mounted the deer that he took last fall with his bow. Nice hunting and taxidermy skills, me thinks. I might have to change my business name from Ivan Mott Taxidermy to Mott and Sons Taxidermy, lol.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-14 AT 08:07AM (MST)[p]Lets see this year's pictures of your bears and bear sign. Bear tracks in the snow are my favorite!

I just saw that the bear results are online. I can see my 2014 Bear Point. :-( No charges on CC does not lie!

I poster pictures of a bear on my bait in another post. I posted this update there, but thought I would start another post as well to tell the story. Anyway, I decided to ground check the bear! After careful assessment of his feeding activity (just after dark, and early morning - usually gone by...

I've got this bear on my barrel. I think he is a shooter. Any thoughts from you bear experts?

My 15 year old son went out this morning and with a little advice and coaching from his old man took his first archery buck. He had saved his money this summer and bought this sweet Hoyt bow. One 43 yard shot and it was all over but the wait.

I should be heading to the forest to chase the mighty bull elk, but the lure of my Unit 22 Bear tag is too distracting for me to ignore. I will be heading up this weekend with the family. I hope to return with some nice stories, pictures, and a big bear's hide!

I want your opinions! How old/big is this bear? It is a 55 gallon drum in the picture.

After 8 years I drew 22 Bear tag. Yeah. Any pointers on fall bear habits over there? Would appreciate any info like should I hi t early or late in the season?

Come on, Idaho, let me have my Moose permit! The application period has been closed for 36 hours, what's the hold up????? :D Seriously, I can't wait to get my refund in the mail. x(

Some of the Proposed Elk Plan is now on the web for comment. For 2-Zone Hunt option, see: https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/content/webform/expanding-elk-hunter-opportunity-multiple-zones I really don't like this idea! Generally speaking, a zone elk tag gives a hunter a lot of opportunity to...

Please call and email the Governor and urge him to sign H 076, the constitutional carry bill that will allow the concealed carry of unloaded weapons. This bill passed the Senate today. The Gov. will be getting tremendous pressure from the left to veto this bill. Every voice will be important...

Here is a bear that still walks the woods, although he is surely still sleeping right now. I fed him until he hibernated last fall, and cannot wait to see if I can get him back this spring. Anyway, I now challenge you to post up some pics of bears still out there.

A Bill has been introduced to mandate establishment of a bonus/preference point system in Idaho. It is H 0145. If you oppose such a move, contact your Representatives asap! If you support it, please ignore this message. ;-)

I Got my first bear on a fall bait the other night. Camera is too close to the bait so the pictures suck. Stump is about 3 feet high, and cut logs are 4" in diameter. Any guesses on size/sex of this bear based on these photos?

I'm a licensed taxidermist would like to trade taxidermy work for a mountain lion hunt in Idaho (other states OK too). I'm an Idaho resident and will purchase a hound hunter permit if you're not a licensed guide. Prefer SE Idaho, but will travel. mottstaxidermy.webs.com

I mounted my daughter's first black bear over the weekend. It sure is a beautiful big boar. I still need to add some habitat, but the bear turned out good...I think? I posted the story of the hunt earlier http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID9/3556.html

The 2012 Deer, elk, bear draw odds are posted, but no results or back door option yet. Should be any minute now!

I now know they do. I got this little gem while hunting Idaho a couple weeks ago. My son and I laughed our heads off when we got his clip off the trail camera. Lucky! http://www.monsterhuntclips.com/video/1822/Bear-cub-in-the-woods

Oh what a year! I took two weeks to hunt bears this spring. My goals were to: 1) Have a good time with family and friends 2) Feed some bears and get trail camera pictures 3) Help my wife, 12 year old daughter, and my father-in-law see/harvest their first bears It was a great success! By the...

Lets see your trail cam pictures as the bears hit your bait this spring! Here are a couple Idaho bears that evaded me last spring that I will be trying to bait in, in 31 days.

I decided to give a full body mount antelope a shot. Takes more room than a shoulder mount, but I think he is way cool.

I desperately want to get a couple more days of bear hunting in this fall. Thinking a short trip up to Unit 39 to try and spot and stalk a bear. Never hunted the unit, so looking for any advice. Thanks.

I took the family out on the opener and they shared the experience of taking this goat with me. I think he is a nice one. Stalked to 265 yards (I know, not much of a stalk) with my oldest son while the rest of the family watched from the truck.

I need access to a dermestid beetle colony in Cache Valley. There is a man in Richmond with a colony, but I lost his contact info. :-( I have 3 bear and one cougar skull that need to be tidied up. They are 99% clean by boiling. No degreasing or bleaching needed.
