Go look up a member on here named Kidso, read everything he has posted, do what he does. You should kill a bear within 10 minutes, thats what all the other guys here did

There are plenty of wolves, and the residents of ID are not emotionally attached to them hence the liberal bag limits. They are pretty nomadic and can be tough to figure out. I saw three in the three years I spent there. If you can find a place where elk are on winter ground you will find wolves. What part of the state are you headed to?

There are some access issues in that unit. G&F has a map that shows which gates are locked and which are accessible, might be a good idea to contact the wildlife manager down there and find out how to get your hands on one. It could save you a lot of frustration.

Nice meeting you Kevin. The man cave thanks you for your contribution.

Studs are 3-1/2" plus a 1/2" of drywall so a 3" lag will give you about all you can get.

Only if there are leftovers. Ad there is no pig hunt that runs concurrent with the deer hunt, fyi. Many other states have more liberal seasons than ours for pigs. Lots of people like hunting them so the hunts are structured just like anything else.

Klondyke, and yes. Good luck.

SD - Just let the guy be. If he wanted to post the scores he would have done so. And I for one am grateful that people have started taking pictures of the animals, and not the hunters. I don't look at these forums to look at pictures of sunburned dudes with 4 day beards and women with no makeup. I want to see the critters, so I am glad that the hunter is in the background and not the subject. And its refreshing to see some pics in different poses and positions that show the animals better. Keep posting the pics Lance, you guys are doing some things right up there.

I have had the same guy ruin probably a dozen of my hunts. Sneezing in the middle of stalks, getting the wind wrong, walking loud, missing shots. If anybody sees a 30 yr old fat dude in a white F150 give him a piece of my mind . . . he looks just like the dude in my avatar.

Be ware that the more well known trails in the wilderness do attract some attention. Horse guys usually pack into reavis ranch and camp. I have had success using the trails to get into the country and then going cross country somewhere on the interior.

Fridge if not spoken for.

Gilbert High used to offer a meat processing service as well, but you pretty much had to know Mr. B to get it in there cause they booked up quick.

Are you looking for an official measurer, or just someone to put a tape on it and do the math?

Please tell me you killed that buck, with that bow, and not a single ounce of camo?! Love it.

Got your post crossed up with the one above. maybe I will shoot my carp deer with it this year. I shot my first two elk with it when I was a kid, which was cool cause grandpa bought it right after the war for elk hunting. He never shot an elk with it so I was happy to fulfill its purpose. Maybe shooting another mule deer like all the ones he killed in ID would be fitting. 4Falls - Thanks for posting this, it got my mind thinking.

Casey - Who re-barreled yours? My first rifle is a 721 in .270 that my Grandfather handed down to me. He passed away last year and I have been thinking I need to do something with it to memorialize him this season.

Lv2hunt has a 40B tag as well.

If the sale falls through for some reason let me know.

Bag limit is one deer per calendar year. You don't have to turn the tag in or anything, you just can't use it. Good luck and enjoy the time with your old man. Mine quit hunting about 3 years ago and its been hard for me to come to terms with.

I have hunted this unit regularly since the early 2000's. Here is all you need to know. The south side of the unit gets pounded by archery hunters and in some areas atv's etc. If you just drive around to the north side of the unit and access off of the apache trail, there are a fraction of the number of hunters and a lot more deer. The south side holds plenty of deer but once the lead and arrows start flying it can be tough to keep track of the bucks. Especially with the limited number of access points to the rugged country, its definitely worth driving around the other side. Good luck and post up some pics when she puts the hurt on a giant!

Love the devil tines on that bull. Color me jealous.

Happy Birfday dude.

Guess I will be hunting desert carp this year. The first time I have a muley tag in AZ since 2005. Shouldn't be too hard to find one of those big dopes standing under some greasewoods Antmo - maybe we will see you out there, my buddy drew the first hunt also. I will probably go drag him around the first couple of days.

Congrats again Tom! Can't wait to hear all of your updates. Good luck.

If you want a high end LH bow go into any bowshop in town and they can take care of you. And the PSE X-Force is as good a bow as you will find.
