    Nice man! Pop a Razorback Offroad rack on that thing and you'll be dialed for fall!

    SXS mileage

    With your budget and intended purpose I'd look at a new 4 seat Commander 700 - right about 18k I think. Bigger more useable bed than the competitors (haul bigger elk), plenty of power for hunting and "lite" recreational activity - not a dune ripper. I've got the 2-seat 700 and it rips with 2...

    'Nother Play Thread - Which one...

    ...got shot? Snowed in - bored silly. Posted my deer season vid compilation elsewhere and had couple messages asking if I/we shot any of them - "you ever shoot anything or what?"" Fair question - One of the deer in this video didn't make it to the end of the day...which one? I'm sure...

    Hunting Field Photos

    I'm a bit of a photo/video nerd, I take shiz ton of photos/vids and usually throw together a little compilation vid of both stills and vid clips for the season...then I post 'em to a forum to bore the bejeezuz out of anyone foolish enough to click on 'em - somewhat similar to the old days of...

    Southeast Idaho winter kill

    My observation as well - it seems like elk faired better than the deer. I'm certain I saw more than I usually do on my place throughout the course of spring/summer and well into fall - they usually get pretty scarce with onset of rifle elk seasons. Interesting, to me and others it seemed...

    Southeast Idaho winter kill

    I hunker down on my own property for the SEI deer hunt. Numbers seemed down for sure all thru spring and summer. I always have a pretty good number of deer on the place, video the shiz out of stuff and compile it at end of season. We tried hard to get my buddy's daughter on a cool little buck...

    Deer Population Unit 31

    The biggest problem I have with it going down the way you, and others, are stating is simply the way the LAP tags are distributed - a landowner that drew an LAP hunt does not have an actual tag to just hand over to someone and say here ya' go, go shoot an elk. The way it would have to go down...

    Deer Population Unit 31

    Just so I am clear, let me go thru this transaction as it seems you are stating it goes down: Landowner: "that'll be $7000 for a trespass fee to my land" Hunter: "sounds good, here you go" Landowner: "thank you, oh, by the way, here's your elk tag" Is that what you are saying is going on...

    Deer Population Unit 31

    There is absolutely no legal financial windfall with a LAP tag. There absolutely could be bad apples that are somehow manipulating the system to their financial gain...I personally don't know any landowner that does and what I'm hearing here sounds more like innuendo and urban legend than fact...

    Deer Population Unit 31

    I'm kinda goofin' with ya' because I know exactly how the Landowner Appreciation Program (LAP) and the corresponding draws work. Since this thread is Unit 31 (I'm too lazy to look up where Unit 31 actually is) I can tell you that for 2023 in Unit 31 there were 39 total landowner tags available...

    Big two points

    How about a steroid swollen tiny racked spindly 2pt trying to breed his little 2pt buddy in some first time rut confusion? These two were indistinguishable last week except to their mommas. Reminded me of those 6th graders that overnight suddenly grow a beard ?:

    '23 Elk Hunt

    Geez, don't get me started...but since you ask: First off - I was shooting a 6.5-300 Wby with 143gr ELD-X that I chrono'd at just shy 3200fps, calc'd a conservative MPBR on 8" vitals of 360yds, then verified multiple times at the range with my last 350yd group being 1.24"/0.4MOA. I set a...

    50th bday hunt

    Not big game but when I turned 50 I had my brother run me up in his boat to the bird hunting grounds of our youth in Hells Canyon and see if I could still hammer out some vert and not die. My dad, brother and I spent a shh-ton of time jet boating up there chasing birds - hardly a spot we...

    ATV or UTV for hunting

    SxS works for me - so much more comfortable, much quicker, less wear/tear on truck, can haul a pretty decent camp setup then haul out camp n bagged game. Can haul 4 bird dogs, 2 hunters, camping gear, get deep into and stay in remote chuk country for few days. Drive truck/trailer to end of...

    I know 73 really well and see elk at that time fairly regularly...they seem to settle down after the Oct rifle and show themselves a bit more. PM me and maybe I can give you a couple ideas.

    Have you ever shot the wrong one?

    I almost had my wife shoot a little 2*3 when he came strolling thru the saddle that a nice 4*5 was "scheduled" to come thru. Luckily as I was giving her the last minute "take yer time, easy breaths, whenever yer ready, ...". She said "it's not him". I threw up the binos and sure nuff, it...
