He was on 'tickled' kid......quite the jr.-high celebrity with his pics, too. Within the shadows, go quietly.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-16 AT 04:51PM (MST)[p]Thanks. He IS thrilled..... enjoyed 'celebrity status' during school this week, too. (Even teachers) Within the shadows, go quietly.

Do any of you know (not guess, because I do that) what percentage of mule deer taken are big enough for 'the book'? Within the shadows, go quietly.

Man's got a right to be proud........ maybe even a little full of himself :) WELL DONE, sir. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Good deer....... can't shoot the big ones ....unless you pas the little one's first. Well done. Within the shadows, go quietly.

WOW........ well done and congrats! Within the shadows, go quietly.

Biker Bro....... sent you an IM Within the shadows, go quietly.

>whuppinstick, how is the hunt going? > Wondering the same thing Within the shadows, go quietly.

Thank you... he's thrilled. (Been looking at his antlers all day) Within the shadows, go quietly.

James' 'first hunt' was 2 1/2 (although he mostly helped me 'watch' his mom). He went on a true Idaho llama-packin trip when he was 3 1/2 and has been out every since. You're right......about hunting with your kids (Older sisters were also fun...but he is a bit more intense...just like dad :)...

The deer will 'move' a little more either just before or just after a storm. Unless they've been 'holed up' for several days (due to said storm), don't expect the difference to be dramatic. Deer are crepuscular, rather than nocturnal, which means their periods of peak activity are in low-light...

Hatfield Knives, made by our own RELH, are everything one would hope. Robert made one for my son, James, for Christmas last year. He was easy to work with and the knife LOOKED great. Yesterday, James got to 'use it for the first time' on a great buck he took. ...... The knife was strong, easy...

Lance, I'm not an expert on unit 40....but I have some maps. Depending on when you're going out, if you could use an extra set of binos or spotting scope, I'd come help ya' look for 'em. Within the shadows, go quietly.

More pics & short story in MULE DEER FORUM but son wants me to 'brag' to everyone. (He deserves to be proud.) Within the shadows, go quietly.

I just posted picks of the buck my son took yesterday. We got him home in one piece. We are not going to mount it..... if you're close enough, you can have it. Within the shadows, go quietly.

A buck from the Idaho desert. Within the shadows, go quietly.

We HURRIED LIKE CRAZY..... to finish as the first few flakes were falling. Got him down to the trail as it was starting...and rode the 4-wheelers back to camp in a snow storm. ......took the pic, because he looked funny. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Mature 4x4 WITH A BOW...... well done Within the shadows, go quietly.

WOW (Well done) Within the shadows, go quietly.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-16 AT 11:18AM (MST)[p]James, 13-year-old son, and his deer from October 18, 2016. We spotted him from a thousand yards or so...... sneaked to 352 yds. The contours of the mountain made it as close as we could get. We sat down and got him set up..... sitting on the...

I've not had reason to buy a new map for several years. I have that reason now........ except things have changed. I want a good topo map. Anyone want to tell me the best place to buy one..... online so I can define the specific area. Thanks Grant Within the shadows, go quietly.

Your 'story' and mine sound quite similar..... except I almost always hunt alone. I live in Pocatello but love unit 39, which I hunted with llamas for years. If you're still looking, please send me a PM....who knows? Within the shadows, go quietly.

I'd say that's a good deal............ and not so much because of the price but because I've seen pics of Brian's success. Truth is, not everyone can 'find 'em'. Within the shadows, go quietly.

I won 4 pizzas and 2 milk shakes on that little tussle. Rousy has never won on skill. She has won by physically overwhelming her opponent. That's real effective until the opponent is (or very close) to your physical equal ...AND more skilled. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Actually, Squiggy's question is not only logical.. it's at least as 'realistic' than applying, drawing and then saying, "Hey, somebody who didn't draw.......show me how". Within the shadows, go quietly.

Guys with badges shooting people who have done nothing wrong is not unusual...multiple times every year in the US. Speeding does not justify murder, which shooting someone who is not fighting in some manner most certainly is. Funny......the same 'officers' would do their best to arrest and...

My son has LOVED "Jade" for several years. (When he smiles that much......I love it, too.) Within the shadows, go quietly.

Obviously, this is an obscenity and the prosecutor (all involved) should spend at least 25 years in prison. The REAL TRAGEDY is that the vast majority of cases ARE NOT handled honorably....they are handled quickly in order to make things look good. DNA evidence has PROVEN ...... approximately...

Nor is it for me..........but gotta' give the guy his very ' well-earned WOW Within the shadows, go quietly.

DITTO Within the shadows, go quietly.

He should have included the information that, if you use your (out-of-state) deer tag for a bear or lion......you can still get another deer tag. (Our deer population is still in the tank...but this IS a good idea.) Within the shadows, go quietly.

"Officials" need to find something more productive to do....even if it's quit and get a job where they actually have something worthwhile to do. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Wow and .......if he sees the floor, I'm cheering that way. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Yep......ya' done REAL GOOD. Trophy hunter, lucky hunter or it was your turn.....any way you describe it, that's great public-land deer...as said, infinitely better than private-land deer. CONGRATS Within the shadows, go quietly.

WELL DONE, sir. It will become even more "worth it" as time goes on. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Would echo the recommendation of Eastman's books. "Our" hunting is far more challenging than TV or private-land hunting. Secrets: Do what Eastman's books say; learn to glass; physically work at this.....beware the terrain and our weather, they kill people every year; get away from other...

It IS an excellent deer.....when shooting one of our deer like that, THE DEER deserves a little smile. WELL DONE. Within the shadows, go quietly.

Agreed, Gazelle.....private land and guided is NOT the same; I'm not sure private is even close...guided is far more OK, when it's deep into the wilderness. The money is screwing things up......my (now 10) son may well have to be a millionaire in order to hunt by the time he's my age. WE need...

It's true that you can't kill a big one where there are no big ones......but (depending on how big BIG IS) there are far more big deer than most are willing to admit, when they are not seeing them. Within the shadows, go quietly.
