This post is from 2008 lol

Its very tough to hold out! I have only passed on Does with Fawns. Luckily this season a buck came in before the does.

Was out for a few days in the 41 area. Saw only 4 antelope in an area that should hold hundreds. Saw a doe and 2 fawns, but no other fawns. The winter could have been tough on them. I was successful on my hunt but still shocked at the low numbers.

I think antelope hunting is as tight lipped as she hunting lol. I have sat on water holes with hundred of tracks on it and waited 4 days in the blind before 1 antelope came in. I have spent 4 hours in a blind and shot a 71" buck on a hole with very little tracks and no antelope in the area...

Too much water this year. They are so spread out its crazy. I think the later hunt that starts 9/1 will be better but not much. Every water hole in our area is full of water, normally only a few are.

And the finished mount

2022 Idaho Archery Antelope

I was blessed with an opportunity on opening day. Lot's of mass, cant fit my hands around his bases. Lots of scouting and shooting my bow paid off.

I have the 39 triangle hunt that goes until 12/16. Very slow going so far. no bucks and see about 30 does a day

super cool

Have you found any water holes to hunt? I archery hunt another unit but have 100% success rate because we find out where the antelope are watering and then set up blinds

We are big Elknut fans and here is some info that could help.. https://gotgametech.com/tips-for-reaching-that-hung-up-bull/

Work was done by Ron's fine art taxidermy in Payette, Idaho

The same guy that did the work was not the same guy who measured. My taxidermist does not measure for pope and young or score horns in general. The Gentlemen who measured it said in the past on some mounts if you try to push some of the hair down it could damage the mount. The hair was right up...

Thank you!

He was super worried he would damage the mount. I am fine with how he measure it. Hindsight I would have measured the weekend i shot it but was told but a few folks that it wouldn't make it.

Congrats! Awesome bull

Archery would be the way to go. I have hunted 3 years for them, shot a decent buck my first year on the early August hunt, then shot a hog that made pope and young in 2017 mid September in the unlimited tag hunt. All over water in a blind. I also scout for 3-4 weekends in the summer and find...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-04-18 AT 12:28PM (MST)[p]Ended up getting it measured yesterday. Made the books with a 68. Since it was already mounted he said I lost a good 2 inches because he could not measure all the way down on the horn. Pretty stoked it made Pope & Young

Awesome buck!

Thanks guys!

2018 Idaho Archery Elk

Finally got my mount back a few weeks ago. Very happy with how it turned out. Worth the year wait.

Nice, thanks for sharing

That cow is huge!

The hunters we ran into in units 43 and 48 during elk season were all out of state. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida

Awesome

We have had elk come into water holes when we were antelope hunting in that area. This was around mid September. A lot of private in that area for sure. When is the season?

I went with a buddy a few years ago. People were road hunting with their cars. People on car hoods and Atv's on every road. With that being said, my buddy shot a two point lol

I just went from a TW200 to a Wr250R. TW sits lower and has less power but is super fun still. The WR250R will go 75 MPH + and rip on the trails. Since I commute, the WR was the best of both worlds. That being said, you can get a used TW200 for like 2k-3k cheaper than a WR. Keep in mind, a...

Nice Work!!

I agree, I would say more along the lines of July 27th

I would also put some of the units at 3 point minimum. Too many spikes and 2 points being shot. They do that in Washington and it seems to be working.

Wow!!!
