They have some big game animals. Check out their Facebook page pics

I was hoping the 209 referred to the primer. All my quick loaders have a spot for the old, small primers

The snow and ice is a nice touch.

FYI it's IDFG

There's a recent post on the 2021 Hunting Adventures. Keep on top of that BS!

The only way to fry flour coated liver is in a ton of bacon grease with three parts onion to one part liver.:D Same with heart..

Population growth and increased amount of applications broke the system. I.e. our chances of drawing a tag are nil. Or niller

If you plan to hunt wolves in Idaho I suggest joining The Foundation for Wildlife Management first. They will reimburse your hunting costs up to $1,000, depending on which zone you kill the wolf in.

Cool shot with the hawk.

Great story and pictures! I also wanted to do a trivia comment on your Rubber Boa pic. I saw my first one last month in Idaho while on a muzzy deer hunt. I've never seen a snake without scales so I took a pic and googled it when I got home. They are native to the West-NW US and Southern...

Finally a buck pic in the Idaho forum. Nice one.

Powerbelts are awesome. Don't let the naysayers say otherwise.

Snowmageddon, as a local Idaho news reporter named it, winter of 2016/17 did a number on NW herds. Could take a long time to recover from that. Hope we don't get another brutal winter anytime soon. Last year was pretty mild. I'm with the No Doe tag mentality.

We saw a cat hanging off a spike elk neck. Neither was struggling. Both just waiting for the inevitable. What I find strange is they kill hundreds of elk and deer and there aren't bones littered all over the mountains. I suppose some kind of critter takes care of those too.

Crazy thing- the buck to doe ratio has changed gears in the past few years. Say the goal is 20 does to 1 buck. 50 bucks in the unit drops down to 30 so lets get rid of 400 does to bring the ratio back in line. Never ending spiral. Quit killing Does. Even if we can't hunt them their still...

Take a look at the price of a 6" antler at the pet store! Dog chewies. That's the place to sell if you can.

That points system verbiage has been there for years now. Nobody wants it so it hasn't been implemented. There's a good explanation at Facebook 208 hunters page on a thread started 8-8.

Take a bear tag into unit 43. Saw 5 bears in early October, three of which were cubs and a sow. My kid watched a big one chase a fawn into the trees. He never saw the ending of that story.

Way to go on getting your elk Stacey. After reading your post on getting a bull with your antlerless tag I was confused. I'm glad you cleared my foggy brain. Makes sense now.

lol, that's a long hunt

if you like hunting, I'd rather get one on day 15 than day one. Way to go on getting 'er done.

Shoot it every night and reload the next morning. Every single person in our hunting group has learned that the hard way.

It's always an awesome day of hunting when you see bucks. I like your hunting ethics. I think a worse day would be tracking a wounded buck ridge over ridge.

Gotta love those dark antlers though. I'd almost be inclined to do the head mount on that one. Way to go!

That is a nice buck. Looks old.

Damn cheaters! Hang em high

I have a Thompson Renegade 50 cal but really thinking of getting the Traditions Ultralight Vortek Northwest Magnum 50 cal for next year. I know, it's not traditional but it's within the Idaho laws and I think will be more reliable and...ultralight.

Dammit smoktem, you just made me spit coffee all over the place. Yeah son, get the buck taxied by Kodiak.

Wow! Awesome buck- I love the mass. Thanks for the story.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-11 AT 03:35PM (MST)[p]Which one was from Idaho? My guess is the top one. Very nice.

I like the reduced doe hunt ideas. Do the math. For simplicity sake assume every doe killed is a mature doe. Every mature doe has twins. For every 500 does killed this year that is 1500 less deer for next year. How many bucks comes out of those 1000 lost deer? The best example I can give...

Wow, the number really surprised me. I guess I haven't looked at the antlerless controlled hunt regs for a while. IDFG made an extra $8,255 in entry fees this year on this hunt. I'm not sure if it's worth it. I like the factory and workers analogy.

in unit 39? Did I read that right? How long have they been doing that?

Tall, wide and deep forks = sweet!

I'd shoot at the coyote but that is pretty close to a hwy and who knows what drivers would think I was shooting at with all the deer and elk about. Sounds like you had a fun day. Too bad the big group was in the no-hunt triangle of 39. Off topic- That new deer underpass and all the new...

I agree, congrats on the nice buck and thanks for the good story. I was lucky enough to get that tag 5 years ago and have been unsuccessful in drawing since. :-(
