That is an awesome write-up, thanks for sharing!

He prefers William but identifies as billy or bill or just willy

Drew 47 muzzleloader antelope. It was literally a last second decision and the very last thing on my list before leaving for a selway river trip on june 5. Spent time in it a few years ago when I had a bull tag ( don't remember much about antelopes) but pretty country and will be a fun place to...

Very nice post. Brings back memories of my dad coming in from out of state back in the early 90?s and helping me get my first Idaho ram in 42 then going up to 48 and getting his first bull elk as a non res. Hard to draw tag he got. Can?t imagine the vitriole I would have faced these days asking...

Just to clarify, you still have to follow the land management rules for travel. Most prohibit off trail travel, and many smaller roads or trails have seasonal closures and/or are only open to certain types of vehicles (motorcycles but not atv for example). The IDFG motorized restriction units...

>I found someone to swap. That's great! Congrats.

One of the classiest posts I've ever read on MM. Thank you. I will add another number to your post. Don't we all agree on the value of passing our hunting traditions on to the next generation? Or even someone genuinely interested in picking this up and who will eventually protect our...

Hey Big Ol' Have loved your attitude and perseverance on here for quite awhile. I have the October 1 unit 46 tag, which will be quite different than the December tag, but will certainly be happy to pass on anything I think is relevant. Powder

>Got lucky and drew the 54 >elk muzzy tag. Dang man, nice!!!

It is the 46-1 muzzleloader tag, October 1-14. I am so jacked, been wanting this for awhile.

Woooooott!!!!! Unit 46 bull tag!!!

Access via the end of the road past Big Creek airstrip. Into the Frank and down Big Creek.

Well if you are one of the first non residents to get drawn and no one before you picked 17L then u can draw. Good luck

>Power belts never fail to disappoint. >Sorry you lost the bull >but Power belts are poor >deer bullets and even worse >elk bullets. Idahoron, Would love to hear your thoughts on bullets, as I've heard the same thing about PBs. They load and shoot really nice out of my T/C Black Diamond...

Oops I said 36 when I meant 37. Yes all units are potentially open to NRs. Just that the less popular ones are more unlikely to have a NR put in for or be available before the quota is filled

To be drawn as a NR two things have to happen. Well 3 if you include applying. First, you have to be one of the first 10 or so NR's to be pulled, and second you better hope you picked a unit that none of the NRs ahead of you already picked. So my advice is to not pick the top most coveted...

Don't really care about your political leanings, but in my continual quest to be better informed can you please define what your acronyms BNL and PRK stand for? My very limited search mainly only came up with Bare Naked Ladies (Canadian band, love 'em) and an alternative to Lasik (wish I could...

Great write up KSig! So glad for you and thanks for letting me "play along". I knew you would do it on that last trip. Ted

You can't go wrong for scenery taking the Mud Flat road from Grandview to Jordan Valley. From JV you could do an out and back to silver City. Powder

The key is to keep the meat dry, whether cooling it by or in a creek, or putting it in a cooler. Hence the frozen water bottles. Which also kick butt cuz you have ice cold water to drink as they melt (throw one in your pack!) In your case of only being a day out you are fine. But if several...

Congrats! I like the tyvek idea. I use it as a ground cloth but think I'll start carrying a piece of it in my pack. Could double as some extra survival gear as well.

To build on what TW says, that is a fun hunt if you are into having a good experience and challenge versus harvesting. Traditionally about 3 to 7 of the 50 tags are filled, and mostly spikes or raggies. Keep in mind you are hunting post bow, post rut, post rifle bulls. The big ones go somewhere...

Hey NPH, You say you were by the river in 20a, but the animals were 3k below you so I assume you did come in from the top. Which means they were about mid slope and very inaccessible. Correct? That has been my experience in the Frank. Been some great accurate info in this thread. We hunt from...

Haha just gotta make sure Moyle and Bair got their permits before releasing. Peace in the valley....

I heard today that it will be early next week. Longer to implement this year due to some extra hoops and/or extra oversight. At least I won't keep checking every half hour!

very nice ram, reminds me of the one I got in 42 many years back, right around 159. Can I assume this was another 42 ram? I love all that country! powder

Damian,live on other side of state and can't help much, but welcome to Idaho, good luck to you and yours.

wow, all of those are so impressive #9 Gary Nix....both bucks are amazing but I like the OTC one best Field photo: #2 Honorable Mention: that WA buck in #8 of Field Photo for both categories!

Since it is not far to go, you should check out Mountain's Edge Taxidermy in Albion. Chad has done some very nice work for me and now for a few of my buddies.

That is a beast. Tell your dad congrats!

Thanks for the congrats all. Due to a busy fall schedule I did not have much time to devote to my own hunting this year. So I snuck out of work with the intention to just fill my tag. I passed up a 185 yard freehand shot at a small 2 pt, just didn't feel good about it. So I let him step into a...

Be careful. The catalytic heaters may not produce CO2 initially, but they can still burn up all the oxygen which is a bad thing. Test out you setup with an O2 meter and be concerned when it drops below a certain level. Contact your local fire dept for what they think that level is, and they may...

Beautiful buck. Congrats to the hunter. Hopefully that is what his guide made him feel like, and not just "the client". Powder

But I like the character of this one that walked into my bullet last Friday oct 23. Was a perfect day of deer hunting. I prefer toting my blackpowder guns around in November, but when I can't I sure like 39 for great general season habitat. Just gotta put in a few miles.

Awesome knife!

Maneater. You are lucky.
