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 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!

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

For those of you that haven't heard, the bonus point system in Idaho has been approved and will start up in 2007. http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/apps/releases/view.cfm?NewsID=2956

I am interested in knowing how the fish and game systems really work. When fish and game departments raise fees are they really just trying to rake in the dough or are they trying to get money for programs that they want to implement that aren't funded through other sources? Do the big wigs get...

I don't know how many of you have seen this picture before, but I came across it on another forum and was impressed. Awesome! http://www.huntnshop.com/storybookbucks/blackdeer/index.html

Here's something you might find interesting. Really strange. http://www.mankatofreepress.com/local/local_story_281002612.html?keyword=topstory

I'm interested in getting some scopes for some firearms. I read an article written by one guy who really liked the hakko scope he had. Are they any good? They don't seem to be too expensive. Anyone have any experience with these Thanks

I was just wondering what you all do with the coyotes after you shoot them. Do you skin them out, or just leave them there. I don't like the fact that the dang things hurt the big game populations, and would like to take some out, but I'm not really interested in skinning them out and dealing...

I was wondering what you all think of cabela's pine ridge scopes? has anyone had experience with them? I have a tasco on my rifle now that I don't trust and would love to get a leupold or zeiss, but the finances won't allow it right now. So, are the pine ridge scopes good? Are there any other...

I was just wondering how much of the accuracy of a rifle depends on the action. I have read about rifles being built around so and so action, but isn't the barrel the part that really determines how accurate a rifle is and not the action? What part does the action play in making a rifle accurate...

Howdy all, I'm buying a 12 gauge mosseberg 500A with an accuchoke and I would like to know if you can shoot slugs with it. Can I or am I stuck with buckshot if I want to use it for deer? Thanks.

Just lettin everyone know that the amount of tags leftover and for what areas that no one picked up that will be redrawn are now up on the IDFG website, good luck.

Howdy all, I recently ordered a caldwell shooting bipod. I liked the fact that it swivels and it was cheaper than the harris bipods. Does anyone have any experience with this brand of bipod? are they any good, or did I waste my money? Thanks

This is my first post here on the forum. I could use a little help on deciding which power binoculars I should buy. I would like to have the extra power of the 10x's but I read a book where the author recommended 8x's instead because of eye-strain, etc. of the more powerful binocs. Which do you...
