If it's fresh, the lion will be back tonight or early morning. If you know anyone with hounds would probably be an easy chase in the morning.

My buddy was the fortunate recipient of a once in a lifetime Idaho moose tag this year. Like many of the western states Idaho moose has taken a beating over the last few years from predation, disease, and ticks. We didn’t know what to expect, however harvest data still showed a very high success rate on hunts. My buddy traveled to the unit over the summer to get a feel for the landscape, acquire the necessary access permits, speak with the biologist, and learn the road systems. After that trip we felt optimistic and all we had to do then was count down the days until November. This would be a hunt after the rut, so food was key. These giants are worn to nothing after the rut and spend the majority of the day browsing. My wife and I flew in the evening before to meet him and his wife at the Airbnb and after an evening of beating the girls in cards our egos were overinflated and optimism was at an all time high 😂. Opening day was on par for November in Idaho…fog..then rain…then snow….then fog and snow. We continued covering country all morning glassing when we could and as the snow started to stick looking for fresh bull tracks to try and walk down. We spotted a few cows and calfs in the morning. Shortly after noon we cut two bull tracks and a cow crossing a logging road. We started on the track and about two hundred yards in we saw the cow. The fog and aspens were thick and we could not locate the bulls. After a minute or so we felt the wind switch and her head came up on alert. The hill erupted with moose and they were gone. We went back to covering ground and with it being midday started focusing on dark timber directly adjacent to feed. About two o clock we found two bulls bedded and one was nice. My buddy tried to get on him as he stood and started moving off but the fog and snow was thick and a good shot never presented itself. We hopped back in the buggy and circled to an upper road in hopes of picking them up from a better angle. As we start glassing from the high spot we see a black body moving through thick aspen below. A good bull pops out at 185 yards and my buddy anchors him. Such a cool experience! Average bull for that unit over the last five years was 34 4/8”. My buddy’s was 37 2/8”. We were able to get him broke down and packed out with daylight to spare. For those that haven’t had the privilege of eating moose it is extraordinary!

I hope you get it!

Most likely the lion is eating on it as we speak and probably going to drag if off again. I would sit on that ravine with rifle in hand ready.

He was probably watching you while you were at the carcass! I once found a fresh lion kill and ran back to my house to grab a trail cam to place on it. When I went back the next day the kill was moved about 30 yards and re buried. I got home and checked the camera and that lion was on that deer moving it 20 minutes after I set the camera, probably watching me the whole time! They will eat off them for a few days from what I’ve seen or till coyotes demolish it.

I own a pest company and onslaught fastcap and demand sc are both great for scorpion's.

I haven’t seen it in Sierra vista but could be wrong. The fry’s on 22nd and alvernon has been my go to source.

Thank you, I’m not the least bit familiar with their habits. Was checking a few places for the javelina hunt next month

Awesome, congrats !

Ya, he where's a Sombrero now.

Right!?!? Better than some shitsipper doing 70 in the left lane and pausing on the pass if ALL semis. Also, I drove down the hill last Friday and the avg speed was 10 over. It was a Good Friday.

That sounds good to me

Nice job guys! That's a hunt I'm definitely looking into myself.

Well I guess doing some prescouting really paid off. Nice that he was able to get it accomplished on opening day. I'm sure he was very happy to have you there.

Very cool…congrats!

That's awesome man!

Nice, congrats!

Yeah. I am turning my artist daughter into a taxidermist. When she was caping the head of her elk, I realized this is the medium she needs to be working in. Also, all of the companies up here have a two year wait.

Might explain what I saw during elk season in unit 8. Just turned off the 9 rd onto 139. Couple trucks along rd. Could see guys in woods,coming back to truck. Looked to be carrying 22 auto rifle. All asain total 4 I could see. Guessin squirrel hunting. The next 8 vechiles, trucks, quads, side-by-side I passed were full of asains.they where on every side rd. for miles. Seemed weird to me. I hunted 8 for yrs. It was first to see that many Asians. Everyone in full camo

Oh no I'm not exempt, you can't put me on film, it would be nothing but bleeps! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
