2008 Idaho Wilderness Elk

This nice 300 class bull elk was tagged last week by one of our hunters.  The hunt this year was extremely tough and we had to pull out all the stops to plan a spot and stalk.  I was able to get into the area about 1.5-2 hours ahead of our hunters to test the [...]

More Idaho Bull

He finally scores!!!!!   Well, I tried to kill off my buddy for 8 days but he is a little too tough or stupid, not sure which, to give up.

The conversation turned to a discussion about a rifle leaned up against the wall that looked very much like [...]

Part 2: Bow Prep

Randy Ulmer and Chuck Adams I am not, however, I can usually hit the broad side of a barn if my target is close enough to it. Most people who bow hunt are pretty fanatical and know what they need to do and when to do it for hunting season. However, I have noticed we [...]
