    Kinda weird elk hunt

    I see black bears all the time and they don't bother me in the least. I have seen two griz in the wild....one a fair distance away, but the other at about 100 yards. He didn't see me, but it did scare the living .... out of me. Let's just say they are a completely different beast and much...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    In wilderness (Idaho has 5.8 million acres just slightly smaller than new hampshire I believe) you cannot use anything mechanical. No chain saws to clear trails ..you got to use hand saws and buck saws...no bikes, no wheeled hand carts...it is insane. Horses are allowed. § 6302.20 What is...

    I got mine last week. My buddy is still chasing that bull. Retired and single, I have all the time I need to scout and hunt.

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    There are 12 days left to bow season, with a cold front coming in with early snow called for at 6500ft and above with rains for 2-3 days starting Wednesday. Full bugle going on. By the end of the week the bulls will have there harems gathered and things will be come tougher to hunt. Satellite...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    I have been scouting since June with cameras placed from 6800 ft to 3500 ft. Two of us checking weekly. The last picture of the nice bull was taken at 5200 ft. We got no pictures of anything but deer above that. Most of the others were at 4200 ft where I killed my cow. Note how the...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    Because of all the wet weather this year and late high country snow melt, most of the elk in our country stayed down low. There was no need for them to go higher as they had all the feed and cover they needed down low. Bow hunters hunting up high almost uniformly struck out while guys like me...

    Send it to CA. They got the wolves they were asking for and now want griz. They can have everyone of them. I need to build a griz migrant wall somewhere north of Riggins to keep them where they belong!

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    To do some clarification...Mining is huge out here so there are lots of 2 track roads to mines and claims. The roads to mining claims are normally gated, but are NOT designated non-motorized. Some have specially sized passes for ATV entrance, some do not. Some have gaps for bikes. Others are...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    You are correct in most cases. The BLM and Forest service has left it up to their local managers to either designate E-bikes non motorized or grant exceptions so it is a piece meal across the west. We have about 50/50 out here. More liberal states have significantly less because the people...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    It isn't the inanimate object, it is the ***** wielding it. Unfortunately, ATV user ethics and considerations are just reflecting general society's standards, which are in the toilet. Couple this with the USFS and BLM greatly restricting access to areas and roads for no other reason other than...

    issue with breech plug

    Sort of, you have to make sure that the barrel face is square. If the barrel face isn't square you will never get full contact. It is a back and forth until everything touches And both have to happen at the same time. But I have only done one, so I am no expert. Hopefully others with more...

    issue with breech plug

    Yes, it is necessary. If by hand, very slowly, very methodically, and VERY, VERY little removed at a time. Plug and face should contact at the same time.

    @longcruise No. Regeneration doesn't work worth a damn, so the ebike industry has abandoned that concept. You can extend your battery life by using the minimal assist and pedaling harder, which is what I do.. Fully loaded and in steep country I typically get 20 miles out of a battery. I...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    I am full solar. I hate to hear generators when I am in the woods. My camping trailer and my bike I charge with solar. I use a EcoFlow River Pro solar generator, my solar panels (300 watts), an extra bike battery and a 12vdc charger for the bike. Plug the extra bike battery into the 12vdc...

    Kinda weird elk hunt

    @longcruise A bike is the way to go for sure, especially if you have a trailer to get your game out. Just got to watch out for bears. Moving down the trail triggers their chase response. I always use a flashing light front and back as I have been told that will keep them off of you...
