Is this ammo still available? Thanks

You may want to look at region Y, over by Kaycee. There are a lot of whitetails around there, but you'll probably find most of them down on the private land. With that being said, you can probably get access for a modest fee if you do a little research.

So, I'm strongly considering finally dropping the coin on some good glass. I've been thinking about getting 8x binoculars, but I'd really like to be able to have the extra power if need be. I do have a spotting scope, but it would sure be nice to have the extra power in my hands. Any thoughts on...

I drew the same tag, so any help that could be passed along would be much appreciated. I grew up in Idaho and now live in Wyoming, but I never hunted 51. Usually hunted to the southeast or east. I would be happy to share what I know about Wyoming, but I don't know much. Only been here for a few...

Drew 51-1 Muzzy Deer and area 49 elk as a non-resident. Wasn't expecting to, especially after mostly striking out in my home state of Wyoming. Pretty excited!

You might want to look at area 72. It's not far from 73 and even though there is a lot of private land, you can find places to go. There were some doe antelope tags left over there last year. I didn't pick one up, but I had a buck tag there and shot one on opening day by about 8 a.m.

Green Mountain makes a great barrel for a reasonable price. If you are looking for something lighter Whistlepig and Tacsol make some excellent aluminum barrels. Whatever you do stay away from the Butler Creek Carbon Fiber barrels. I have heard a lot of bad reports about them. Their steel...

We got quite a bit of snow this year, and it got pretty darn cold for a while, but I think that the really bad weather is pretty much over. It's starting to green up here already, but I won't be here this fall to see how fat the deer get because I'm moving to Texas this summer. Hopefully I'll be...

I was able to find a few raggedy looking deer on the way home from school today and I happened to have my camera with me. Here is one of the better shots I got before they bolted. Enjoy!

You might want to look at one of these http://www.joby.com/gp3.html I just ordered one and haven't received it yet, but it's very light and looks like it would work well. (They are also only about $50).

Howdy all, My wife and I are thinking about getting a new digital camera for photos of the kids etc. (and I want to use it to take some pictures of wildlife). We don't have a lot of money to spend. Right now we are considering the Canon S2 or S3 or the Panasonic DMC-FZ7. What do you think? Is...

Here's the biggest deer I ever shot. Shot him on a late hunt in central Idaho 2006. Not a very big rack, but a pretty big body. Any estimates on how big he was? I never got him weighed, but would be interested in knowing approximately how big he was.

Go to college and play ball if you have the opportunity. Work on general education credits (it will probably take you a year or two to finish them) while you figure out what you want to do. If you want to travel, do so in the summer or do study abroad. Once you start, don't quit. The...

Where the Red Fern Grows All Calvin and Hobbes books Anything by Patrick McManus "Dies the Fire" by S.M. Stirling (This book is basically one man's vision of what would happen to the world if suddenly everything electrical stopped working and gunpowder ceased to work. Interesting read.) If...

Leereddish, Have you got anything yet? I was able to connect on a buck today. He is only a 2x3 but he has a really big body. He was hanging out with a bunch of does and was the only buck with them. If you want some information about where we found the deer, drop me an email. Brandon

I saw some type of animal that looked like a deer. I suppose it could have been an Impala, and I also saw some hyenas. Pretty cool.

Darnit! That doesn't sound good. Thanks for the info though. I hunted the area during the general season in 2004 and saw a good number of deer, but my brother and stepdad hunted it this year and didn't see much. It's a bit surprising that you didn't see anything, they've got to be in there...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-13-06 AT 09:54AM (MST)[p]Hey Leereddish, How did it go?! Did you see or shoot anything? Can't wait to hear how it went.

Thanks for the info leereddish. Doesn't sound good, but hopefully the rut and some snow will turn things around. I don't have my heart set on shooting a giant (though that would be nice), a nice 4 point with a 24" spread or bigger would be great. Keep me posted on how you do and good luck! I...

Unfortunately, most of my friends don't hunt so borrowing one from a buddy might be difficult, but I'll see what I can round up. Hopefully I can get a hold of something. Thanks for all of your responses.

Unit 49. Central Idaho. Pretty open country.

Howdy all, I was lucky enough to draw a late deer hunt in Unit 49 in Idaho this year and can't wait to go. Two more weeks! Anyways, I was wondering how the general season there went? I had a brother that went there but he didn't see much and I'm hoping that the deer just hadn't moved into the...

Howdy all, How necessary is a spotting scope to your hunting? Do you usually use it to find animals, or to try to count all the points to see if the buck you're looking at is big enough for you? Do you usually use your binoculars for most of your glassing? I ask because I have a relatively good...

I'm not sure what would be the best option. I imagine it would be possible for a kid to get a hold of a teacher's gun and cause trouble, but that all depends on the vigilance of the teacher. Just consider, if two or three teachers at Columbine had been packing and had been able to successfully...

As you are probably all aware several people have been killed in school shootings lately. I'm sorry for the families, and wish that such things had not happened, but, what can be done to prevent or at least minimize casualties in such occurances in the future? This gentleman has an interesting...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-21-06 AT 12:56PM (MST)[p]It is interesting to think that if she did something of the sort that insulted the Muslim faith it is probable that hundreds of people would be killed in protests. I wonder if NBC would air it if Christians acted the same way?

Hey Leereddish Make sure you save one for me. I drew the same tag this year and am pretty excited about it, but won't be able to go until several days after the opening. Good luck. Maybe we'll run into each other.

There is a brand of muzzleloader called markesbery that supposedly would be legal in Idaho and is not a sidelock. They look really nice, but cost more than I can afford. Here is a link to their website.http://www.markesbery.com/

You also might want to ask the crowd, Who is a vegetarian? Most will probably say they are not. Then you can bring up the point that most of the animals raised in factory farms live a pretty crappy life, and that the game killed by hunters have a free life until the end and then they die...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-06-06 AT 01:10PM (MST)[p]Please note that in my post I did not say that illegal immigrants are Americans. Also, as far as I understand, you have to have some ability to read, write, and speak English to become a citizen. (I don't know how well). So, I guess if you were not...

I don't have a problem with protests and having pride in your roots, but it is pretty stupid to insult a country that has given you so much. It's unfortunate that kids today have so little respect. Whoever belongs to the administration of that school should have never let that happen. It's...

Please note that in my post I did not say that illegal immigrants are Americans.

What's the big deal if you have to spend an extra few seconds to push a button at the ATM or on the phone? Last I knew people here were free to speak whatever language they wanted. I don't know how many of you have tried to learn another language, but it's VERY difficult. If someone is here...

Well, I'll throw in a little bit here too. I also participated in the infamous bumper sticker thread and I admit that some of the things I wrote were perhaps a bit rash. I will try not to do the same here. I will just start off with one idea right now, but may chime in with more later. If there...

Well the title of the post pretty much explains it. The Idaho Big Game regs are now on line at the F&G website. Good luck in the draws.

Well, making a wall that big would cost a big chunk of change and I doubt the government would be willing to fork it out or the taxpayers either. Making a wall close to 2,000 miles long wouldn't be cheap. Also, I imagine that people would still figure out a way to get in whether it be over the...

I hunt deer, elk and antelope in Idaho when I can. Have only used rifle so far, but would like to do some archery hunting and just bought my first blackpowder rifle.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-07-06 AT 09:57PM (MST)[p]This question goes along with the post by BFE about poaching to feed the family. Now I know that most people here in the U.S. that want to eat can do so, so poaching for that reason is a pretty sad excuse but, let's say the Animal Rights folks mustered...

This website is pretty cool too. http://www.mrtvseverything.com/
