    61-71 elk

    PM sent. I had a archery deer tag in the 7's last year and only hunted 71 since I also had an archery elk tag in the 6's. Didn't see a ton of deer in 71, but did see a few. Saw a good number elk.

    OIL Moose

    I notched my Idaho moose tag last Saturday. Saw lots of moose this last trip, but due to the amount of snow was limited where I could go and hunting solo kind of limited me to how far from the road or truck that I got figuring I was going to have to pack it out solo. Spotted several bulls on...

    Nevada bull down

    He bugled on his own at 1-1:30 in the afternoon. I snuck in close to where I thought he was then softly cow called with a diaphragm. He didn't answer so I called on an open reed so it was a little louder and he answered. I waited 60-90 seconds then called again and he bugled and started...

    Nevada bull down

    Thanks guys. That day 1 bull I wish I would have got on video the next morning. The bulls lined out of the drainage that they were in at first light (I don't think they liked the dirt bike) and he was a toad. His body just dwarfed the other 9 bulls that he was with.

    Nevada bull down

    I was super lucky and drew a non resident archery elk tag in NV with 4 points. I had been down to scout 3 times previously and found a few on the 2nd trip and a pile on the 3rd trip so I at least had a good place to start. I also had an archery deer tag in different units so I hunted a couple...

    Too early for the rut?

    I had bulls bugling in Nevada on the 17th-19th. Didn't hear any on opening day. Granted it was 1 different bull per day, but it was a big one and they each had a lot of cows. The one I shot decided to bugle at 1:30 in the afternoon. Came in to a cow call on a string. I think it varies by...

    Maps of unit 45

    I had this tag in 2018 before they moved the 50 rifle bull tags to the month of August right before the archery tag which has made it really tough for the archery guys (see harvest statistics below). I went in there last year with my buddy that drew the rifle tag in the 2nd drawing and places...

    Yep, still in velvet.

    What about these guys?

    Yep, I'm 3D printing one that uses magnets and the case actually fits my phone. The phoneskope case I have the camera is not centered to the eye piece so it never focuses very well.

    What about these guys?

    I figure I might get 1 or 2 chances, so I better make it count. There are a few water holes so I'll definitely be sitting those since it is early and hot.

    What about these guys?

    Still really green and there still is some water, but definitely not as much as there was a month ago. A month ago I only saw 5 bulls. Last weekend I saw 100+ elk mostly due to they were congregated where there was water. Huge herd of cows and calves the first morning. Bigger bulls were still...

    What about these guys?

    Got super lucky and drew a NV elk tag with 4 points. I just got back from my 3rd trip to scout the unit. Hunt starts in 15 days, the 2 upper bulls in the picture with 4 are my 2 target bulls. 6x6 and a 7x7 (6's are small). The 7x is in the other 2 pictures, they were a ways off and this is a...

    Idaho Unit 76 late rifle tips?

    I don't think it is the elk, but maybe the sheep. Been a about 5 years, but when I hunted it the 5 or 6 years that I did, there were a lot of sheep in both units.

    Archery Permit on Sportsman Package

    I renewed my sportsman package at the end of December. I logged back into my account to check something recently and noticed that my archery permit did not automatically come with the sportsman package. I was able to add it for $0 charge, but I can't figure out why it didn't automatically come...

    Idaho unit 45 elk

    Pretty much. If you spend a little time getting to know the area, the public/private boundaries and how to get around you should have no issues. I had the archery tag in 2018 and it was a great hunt. Only hunt I have ever passed on any bull, and think I passed on 5 or 6 in bow range before I...

    ISB Controlled Hunt Second Chance Proposal

    I think there are some good and bad. I'm not opposed to knowing if I drew a second chance tag at least a week before the opening day. I put in for the 2nd draw in a unit for deer that opens the 15th of August, but I will not know if I drew the tag until around the 25th. Makes it hard from a...
