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!

Early 12aw rifle solo hunt trip

A parent, grandparent, or guardian issued a tag may transfer the unused tag to a minor child or grandchild at any time prior to the end of the season for which the unused tag was issued.

Been trying to figure out the proper way to go about this. Was going to make a different post…but basically, on day 4 I was able capture lightning in a bottle and dig up one of those big Coues bucks. I found this buck on Thursday morning after hunting half of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I found a nucleus of bucks and was just starting to kind of figure it out when I stumbled across this guy. I had no idea what he was when I shot. After passing up a couple medium bucks, I spotted this one at 286 yards, got him in the spotting scope before the morning sun had hit him, and right then he turned toward me. All I saw was “a big brow” and said “YEP YEP YEP! That’ll do.” I got a great surprise when I walked up to him.

Congratulations!!!! Safe travels back North! that is a really cool buck and I hope you are super happy!

Congratulations! Beautiful buck.

In my experience, coyotes scatter a kill near and far.

Good scope. The Gen 1’s are actually a lot better than the Gen 2’s because of the ability to ability to dial the image with the fine focus adjustment.

Stud buck. Major congrats...

Never used kifaru but have a K4 5000. Been a great pack and comfortable. Great customer service too

What he said above. It’s the Feds sh*t show. I talked with the WM for one of the rim units last year about them, they’re no more fans of those nags than us hunters, but their hands are tied. Let’s get the Orange Man involved, and we can begin deporting them with all the ilegos the first of the year. Send everyone back to wherever with a horse till they run out

There are no ‘wild’ horses……they’re all feral and invasive.

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.

Higher end Leupold glass looks better to me, but Nightforce glass isn't trash. My NX8 has what can be called a "finicky" eye box at max power. If you are looking for a repeatable scope that holds zero, I would go Nightforce.

I have one in 6.5 Creed and loves the factory ammo Federal Premium Gold Medal Sierra Matchking in 140 grains. Also it shoots really good my reloads using the Hornady 140 grain ELD-MATCH.

WOW! What a buck! Congratulations! Her first buck?

That's a beauty! I didn't see the group at 500 yards?

Change your name to: THE TERMINATOR 😁

Just come back on foot just south of Ruby. No wait at all.

Had a buddy going to Rocky point last week, waited 4 hrs, never crossed turned around and went home, ghost town down there. They say coming back is worst. Demarcates should be very proud of there leader.
