    Wanted VihtaVouri N570

    I have 3 pounds of N568 if that interests you. I would be interested in trading for H1000. I’m located in south east Idaho but could probably arrange to get it to Utah

    ISB Controlled Hunt Second Chance Proposal

    Even though you are battling it out with the OIL guys and guys that put in for other units it is far less people then the remaining unsuccessful applicants trying to become the first of maybe a few alternants. Simply put less people are willing to pay the extra app fees Now vs the amount of...

    ISB Controlled Hunt Second Chance Proposal

    I agree. This is my thoughts on fixing the problem. Move the app deadline up 5-10 days move the tag pick up date up about the same. Then have a short 5 day application period for the second draw. I think by doing this we could make the second results available close to August 1st. I think ISBs...

    ISB Controlled Hunt Second Chance Proposal

    The IDFG has strategically set the dates for the first draw so they can capitalize on other states draw results coming out before the application dead line. Idaho is known as a backup state for non residents and applying for hunts. They aren’t out anything to not apply every year since we don’t...

    Elkhuntin where do I sign up???? Those are incredible bulls and what I dream of finding on this hunt. What year did you go and what was your season dates? Did you hunt from a lake or were you on a hilltop?

    Alaska Caribou drop camp

    I’m planning to put a deposit down on a diy Alaska caribou hunt this winter or coming spring. I’ve done some research and talked to Outdoors International, Tok Air, and 40 Mile Air. Have also looked up Ram Aviation and Arrowhead Outfitters. I’m interested in advise on any of these transporters...

    ISB Controlled Hunt Second Chance Proposal

    One thing that has never been discussed and ISB will not respond is how would the proposal work for those that apply as a group in the first round. I usually apply as a group of 4 for deer and elk either a group of 2-4. If we have to be drawn as alternates with our whole group that would make it...

    ISB Controlled Hunt Second Chance Proposal

    These are pretty much all of my points. I’m actually the one that made the list and am glad to see it getting passed on. Idaho State Bow hunters has seemed to try to fight this from every angle, from the draw being too late, free application fees, believing it will have better draw odds. I’m all...

    OTC mule deer tag

    They usually sell out within a few days after they put them up for sale for residents to buy a second tag. The second tags are what is left from the non resident quota. I think that date is August 1 but not positive.

    Idaho Goat Success

    Was the buck that almost touches possibly shot in 52a or 68? I know a guy that was hoping to shoot a pre scouted buck that looks very similar. He has a rifle tag.

    Wife and kids antelope hunt????

    Thermopolis does seem like a neat little town to visit. We will be looking for the better bucks we can find. Since they all have little experience I have a hard time making them hold out if they like a buck. I will discourage them from shooting any 1 1/2 year old bucks though. Thanks for your...

    Wife and kids Wyoming antelope????

    Thanks for the feedback. I was disappointed when I seen the reservation. I didn't even know you could hunt it there with permission. I live next to one in Idaho and there is no big game hunting on it for non tribe members but they do allow special waterfowl and upland game permits and fishing.

    Wife and kids antelope hunt????

    Looks like 110 is out of their reach. Sounds like you have experience around 83 do you know anything about 76. If you have any iinfo about 76 type 2 that you are willing to share feel free to pm me. Thanks for the info you have provided.

    Wife and kids antelope hunt????

    The youngest will be in for a doe tag for sure if they are available. Just so she can get some shooting in right away, since she would be the most interested in holding out for the best buck we could find.

    Wife and kids antelope hunt????

    I am looking forward to this hunt as much as any that I have planned in the near future. This is kind of Dads dream vacation before the oldest moves on in life. 82 is what I am leaning towards with the accessibility and 76-2 is probably my second choice just not sure how accessabe the river and...

    Wife and kids antelope hunt????

    That would be my #1 thought but the youngest will be the one that really appreciates the chance to shoot a buck. I'm really curious to see how this hunt goes. The youngest will either be hot on the gun and ready to shoot right away or she's really going to want to hold out and get the best buck...

    Wife and kids Wyoming antelope????

    I'm currently researching trying to find a antelope hunt to put my wife and 2 daughters in for in 2020. Going into the draw they will be sharing 8 points (wife and oldest daughter each have 4). Youngest daughter turns 12 next year and the oldest will be 17 so this is our only shot with the...

    F&G proposing rule changes...

    To start off me along with the guys I hunt with have used cameras for over 10 years. I think there is a big miss conception about trail cameras from guys that have never used them. We have cameras spread out over a 4 mile area and in the past 10 years have had one mature bull elk and a few...

    Looking into a semi diy caribou

    Thanks for the info. Sounds like 2 bulls is almost a thing of the past unless if you want to go guided in Canada. I think Alaska sounds like the best hunt. Does anyone have suggestions on a outfit to use as far as flights and available camps. I talked to one outfit that provided flights after...

    I crunched some numbers....

    Every time this argument comes up it is funny how it is over looked that a non resident has to draw a general tag in wyoming. In my home state of Idaho the general tags are first come first serve with a very lenient quota. There are also several units that are a controlled hunt such as 73 that...

    Looking into a semi diy caribou

    I am interested in trying to line up a caribou hunt for 2019 or 2020. I am most interested in being able to fly into a major airport and then having a outfitter take care of flights and transportation out to the hunting location. Not sure on alaska or Canada. We would prefer to have the option...

    2018 deer with 7-9 points options

    We figured we wouldn't really be able to plan too much right now, especially with how much draw odds may change with the tag cut in region G and how everyone decides to play it with the winter kill. We were mostly just looking to see what other options we had besides G for a decent hunt, and how...

    2018 deer with 7-9 points options

    Looking for ideas on deer for 2018 to get the most bang for our points. Depending on how many of us put in together we will have 7.25 with 3 guys or 9 points with 4 guys. We had originally planned on G but are now exploring different options with the way this past winter was. We would be willing...

    Looking for kuiu discount

    I have heard about a 20% discount for first time customers. I was hoping my wife would order me a icon 5200 pack when they had their 30% off sale instead she got me a $300 kuiu gift card. From what I have seen searching for the 20% off code it seems you have to get a code from a existing...

    Great buck! That's one to be proud of. There's something about just getting it done all on your own that makes it that much more rewarding.

    shot deer help

    Good job and way to stick with it. I think after you lose one you start to doubt if you will recover them. I'm glad he lived after last year and it was only fitting that you get another chance and are the one to harvest him. 50" of mass that is awesome that is comparable to a decent size bull...

    shot deer help

    keep at it I think if you are confident you hit him behind the shoulder on the on side you had to have hit one lung at least. If you bumped him he probably never stopped till he died. That is my experience with elk. I have been in your shoes with elk when a shot looks solid and just never is to...

    Antelope unit 90-2

    Don't get too discouraged with what you seen they are there. I scouted a unit close to there and you will find them in pockets. If there are farm fields in the unit they will be concentrated around them but there should be antelope throughout the unit. You will find pockets of them in random...

    Scoring ?

    I think at mass scoring events they hurry through them. Especially if they know from the start they won't qualify. I have taken several animals to our free measuring event in our town. We usually do it with a decent bull that will qualify for pope and young and decent bucks 170+ just for fun. I...

    Wyoming Bison tags

    I live close enough I have options for lodging as far as using a camp trailer. What is the deal with the drag service? I believe on Eastmans when Mike shot his on the show they mentioned you have to have a guide drag it out. What is the cost of that? How does the permits work for getting on the...

    Preference point refund?

    I was told by a friend if I included the preference point money on my application and drew a tag that money would be refunded. I did so just to save the hassle if I had to purchase one later. Does any one have experience with this personally. Will I get my refund or not?

    Wyoming Bison tags

    I have just began to look into bison hunt options. I was looking at wyomings draw odds for a cow calf wild bison hunt and it appears to have a 25% chance of draw. This seems almost too good to be true. Is this for the same tags that are just off the refuge? Can you only shoot one in a lifetime...
