2013 Spring Turkey
May 14, 2013
I’ts hard to believe Spring turkey season will soon be over in Idaho. My dad and I started it off with lots of action and dad was able to bring home the bird in the first week of the season… it was another pricless time spent with my dad in the woods! The second week [...]
End of September – Close of The 2012 Archery Season
January 10, 2013
The last few days of the season were approaching and we hadn’t been able to get out much since our three day hunt on Labor day week-end. We decided it was time to drop everything and head for the mountains… We felt like our opportunities would be good higher up the mountain, so we loaded [...]
Late Archery Idaho Mule Deer
November 29, 2012
I tagged out this year by mid-October. That’s good because I like tagging out, but that’s bad because there are still hunts going on in October, November and December. And I just have to sit and watch them pass me by. In early November I was sitting at home when I received an email from [...]
2012 Idaho Archery Elk Season- First of September
November 19, 2012
Looking into one of the many canyons the elk call home September. That magical month of pursuing a dream. The dream we have fostered for 11 months… For many the journey toward opening day begins immediately after the closing hours of the last day of archery season… and the [...]
Bowhunting Elk
October 1, 2012
The folks over at Elk101 have a forum thread asking visitors to post their top elk bowhunting strategy. Elk101 is quickly becoming my favorite hunting site – with loads of information and really cool webisodes completely devoted to my favorite animal, I was an easy fan. However, this particular thread got me to scratching my brain, and [...]
2012 Idaho Elk Hunt Part II
September 12, 2012
Continuation from Part I As I hiked back towards the ridge top, I began to bump elk and soon I realized I was in the middle of a large herd of elk. It seemed that I couldn’t move more than 50 yards in any direction without bumping a few elk, and with the wind blowing [...]
2012 Idaho Elk Hunt Part I
September 10, 2012
My Suburban bounced along the old logging road as I neared what would be our new elk camp as described to me by my brother Todd. It had been a long, agonizing wait since last year and almost every day for the past month I’d been dreaming of arriving at elk camp. I’m not sure [...]
Ruby Riches
August 14, 2012
When this year began, I, along with a few buddies, really wanted to expand our hunting opportunities into another state. After extensive research looking for a state with lots of bucks that wasn’t too far away and that afforded a reasonably inexpensive hunt, we decided that Nevada would be perfect. Not only did it meet [...]
End of September (Video)
October 4, 2011
Archery elk season closed the 30th of September, and once again we feel so fortunate to be able to experience the awe these amazing animals inspire! We could hear them, smell them, see them …. but to make it happen with a bow escaped us. In spite of often feeling frustrated we look forward to [...]
First of September (Video)
September 13, 2011
It’s finally here! Bugles are begining to drift on the mountain thermals, tan bodied ghosts glide silently through the deep dark timber, and the adrenaline flows as we chase up the mountain after the majestic elk that call this mountain their home. The 2011 archery season has begun! Here’s a short video summary of how it’s gone in the first [...]
