Hey guys, My brother drew a 3B HAM elk tag and I was wondering if anyone has any info they could provide about the unit and where to find elk from Oct 1 to Oct 10th via PM. Thanks for anything you guys can give.

I’m on a coues hunt in the southern AZ area and was wondering what the odds are of snakes still being out and about. Any input would be great, thanks guys.

As a resident of Idaho I feel that Idaho has taken this in the wrong direction. As a resident I would not be opposed to paying 70 dollars for a deer tag and 100 dollars for a elk tag, it would increase revenue exponentially and we would still have the revenue to cut tags state wide including...

Drew a late season elk tag in this area, just wondering how the snow pack and weather is down there right now. Any info would be great, thanks.

So I drew my first Idaho CH elk tag in 12 years of putting in. I'm an Idaho resident and live up in the panhandle, I'm extremely busy at work and may not be able to scout before the hunt. I've been through the unit a couple times as my girlfriend has family in Salmon. I have gotten some...

Hey guys, Went down to scout unit 46 for the hunt around agriculture land for a few days and found less elk than I expected. Anyone ever done this hunt? Stayed mostly in the southern half of the unit. Is this predominately a migration hunt? It's within one mile of AG and the farmers or...

Anybody hunt archery elk this year, I've got the rifle tag and just wondering how the herd looks.

I drew a great elk tag this year and I'm not much of an elk hunter, mostly deer. I would appreciate it if any of you guys have pictures of bulls on the hoof and estimated or known scores. Thanks for the help!

I drew the early rifle tag and would love to hear from anyone who has spent time in the unit or hunted it. I'm taking the whole season off and we already have the camping situation covered. Would love to hear anyone's opinion on what size of bull to hold out for. I'm fully willing to go home...

So Im apparently the luckiest sumbich in the whole world, I drew 231 early rifle elk with only 3 nr points. I lived in reno for a while but am back in Idaho and Ive never been to the unit before. Lets be honest I thought there was no way I would draw. My brother still lives in Reno and knows...

If m dad drew a controlled deer and a controlled elk tag last year can be still put in for a buck or bull tag in the second draw?

Taking my gun in to a reputable gunsmith to get it cerakoted. He also does fantastic screw on muzzlebrakes so I've read. I would like to increase the accuracy of my rifle. I would love to hear anyone's info or advice on the pros and cons of them. Do they increase accuracy? What is the actual...

My dad drew an elk tag, deer tag, antlerless deer tag last year. He already put in for moose and didn't draw, can be put in for antlerless deer tag this year? Thanks for any replies.

Me and my brother are looking in to putting in for Cali this year. Cannot figure out how the draw works. Is it a preference point system, bonus point system of random system? Any explanation of info would be much appreciated!

Not my buck but I was given it by my FIL, he shot it back in the day when he was 20 or so, said he was just hiking some mountain in S. Idaho and this was the first buck that came out, hes not much of a trophy hunter. 32 inches from kicker to kicker and carries its mass very well. Sorry about...

I have a win 70 featherweight in a wood stock, Im going to get all the metal cerakoted. Has anyone done any cerakoting on a rifle in a wood stock in any other color than black? Im just trying to figure out which color to get but I feel like anything other than black is going to look cheesy...

My dad killed a mid 170s class buck in its bed, when the sack of potatoes effect took effect he slid 100 yards and off a cliff. The lower rear portion of the skull is shattered and came apart when we removed the head. Is there a way or form to mount a non split skull cap to a form to create a...

I was at the range today and was shooting some new factory ammo I got a deal on through midway. Caliber is 270 wsm in a win 70 featherweight, dont let the name fool you its 9+ pounds scoped. I was shooting winchester accubond ct ammo, I had a group(3) just shy of an inch and another just shy...

Was driving to go fishing today and turned down the small road to the boat ramp with a 35 mph speed limit and theres a fawn in the middle of the road flopping with guts hanging out that was clearly just hit by a car. What I want to know is what kind of human being drives away from that...

Trying to adjust my trigger and watched a youtube video about. Pulled my gun apart and my trigger looks nothing like the one in the youtube video. Are the new win 70s using a different trigger?

Ok so I bought a used bow about 5 years ago, since then i have only put maybe 1000 arrows through it. Ive never replaced the string, do I need to replace the string this year before I hunt with it? Im not an archery guru or pro or anything obviously. Is the time between string replacements...

The sheds forum is getting slow, lets see some pictures of everyones best sheds of the year. Ill start with a 320ish set of elk sheds i found this year in North Idaho.

Has anyone ever tried the loaded ammo from nosler? If so what type of accuracy did you find and what type of rifle was it?

Ok so I don't know if this is old news or not. Found out about this hecs gear and from what I'm reading, seemingly intelligent people are saying you can virtually walk up to deer with it on. I guess I just don't even understand how anyone can claim this. I'm skeptical to say the least. Anyone...

Last year I killed a great buck, I decided to have him scored at one of those gun show/ scoring events. I had previously scored the deer multiple times. After seeing the score sheet I was like WTF! It was 12 inches lower than my lowest score I've ever scored on this deer. I watched the first...

Well with hunting season winding down I figure I'll post up my whitetail from this year. This was my first year hunting the unit and most days I got my butt kicked. The thickness of the brush and alders was quite surprising. I was still hunting up a hillside in a pretty stout rain and walked...

Anyone hear of any big bucks hitting the ground?

Drew the late elk tag. I've spent tons of time in the unit but not after nov. 1st. I have very little idea what the bulls do after that. I've had the tag once before but only had 3 days to hunt and was unsuccessful. Anyone ever had that tag?

Currently live in idaho, my gf loves to go hunting too but we have a dog. Is it illegal to take the dog with us if the dog is held by my gf on a leash and she isn't carrying a rifle? Thanks

Moving up to Post falls in a few days. Was wondering if anyone has any pointers on areas within reasonable distance of there where i can hunt in the afternoon/ evenings as i will be getting off work about 2 in the afternoon. thanks

My dad has been reloading for his 7-08 he has a model 7 remmy with a cut down barrel at 16 inches. Slightly compressed load, 2860 average with a 139 Sst. How is that even feasible?

I own a 270 wsm featherweight winchester and finally found some of this ammo at a screaming deal. I'm fixing to order 3 boxes of it. Was wondering if any of you veteran shooters have had any experience with it? I've heard people complain about the coating on the bullet and others say that's b.s...

I have a pair of these binos and they don't seem as clear as a year ago when I bought them. Always kept in badlands case and kept clean. Anyone else experienced this?

Anyone ever tried it? I can't find any data for it. Looking to duplicate hornady superperformance speeds with accubonds.

Just moved back to idaho from nevada, been chompin at the bit to get out and scout and waiting not so patiently for archery to start! Went out today for my first day of scouting and found this little fella. Not great pix i know but i didnt want to get to close and risk spooking them. Hes a 5 by...

any pointers on the unit? brother drew the tag and ive never been there, except on google earth

I recently purchased a winchester model 70 fw 270wsm, I dont reload and I was wondering what type of factory ammo to look into. I would like to shoot the 140 accubonds but the ammo is harder than hell to find. I wouldnt mind the 150 nosler partition but i wonder about its long range accuracy...

If so Id love to throw some info your way from time to time before the season starts
