Do-it-yourself Hunting Stories
“Went Idaho bear hunting after work last Thursday… it was raining, sleeting and snowing on way up to tree stand. At 8:00 p.m. I saw the big cinnamon that I was at full draw on a week prior cruising the perimeter but he decided at the last minute not to come into the bait. At [...]
Skunk Spray, Skunk Remedy for Your Dog So how many of you bird hunters out there has had your hunting dog sprayed by a skunk? I know I have… many times. The first few times I tried to wash my poor stinking pup in tomato juice. That doesn’t work. The second time I put my [...]
By Doak Worley Some of you may have noticed that I have been silent with my blog for a few months. This is the time of the year that I have to work to pay for my hunting and fishing addiction. I am a professional Chef and do cooking demonstrations during the summer months. I [...]
Sometimes we have experiences that teach us hard lessons, and sometimes we have lessons that try and teach us hard lessons, but just leave us confused, yet thrilled to have been in the chase. Saturday was an experience of the latter kind for me. Bowhunting for mule deer is hard. As the sun began to push [...]
I don’t have a story to go along with these wolf hunt pictures, but I figured you hunters out there would appreciate it anyway. All I know is that this wolf hunt took place in Idaho and the hunter (I won’t name names) Said “…it feels good to tag one!“. See our wolf hunts »
September is right around the corner and that means dove hunting all across the country will be opening. Be sure to spend a little bit of time scouting just prior to opening day to find roosts, feeding fields and waterholes. Places that are holding doves late in August should still produce birds in early September. [...]
Quite a few of my friends got their wolves in Idaho’s first wolf season last fall. I went wolf hunting a few times, but came up short. One friend of mine got his wolf by North fork Idaho on the 31st of Oct. There was another wolf killed in the same spot the day before [...]
It’s just about that time of year. I dusted off the turkey calls last night and thought a post on turkey calling may be in order. Wild turkey calling takes time and effort to learn, and knowing the basics of wild turkey vocalizations is crucial to being able to use different calls successfully. Wild turkeys [...]
Marc Warnke and I went up to Orofino to turkey hunt for the last week of the season. He had a spot that he had been hunting for years and knew it well. I was excited to turkey hunt with somebody who knew what they were doing, all of my friends and I just sort [...]
My buddy Ty just sent me these pictures of the buck that his brother Rett shot on 11/15/08 with his muzzleloader. It is 30″ wide and 26″ tall with one nice cheater. They took the live pictures on the night before they got him. Rett has been hunting the desert in Idaho for quite a [...]
We got these pics in the email from friends of ours. My darn buddy shot my bull, dang nice one, guess the BIG one stepped out after he shot this one. Got mine the next day and he must have had a bad temperament since he had a bunch of the tines broken. Forgot how [...]
For those of you who missed it, this is a continuation of a previous story where Cary’s son, Logan got his first elk. Now on to Cary’s bull hunt. Monday I hunted all day in the same two canyons without seeing any elk. Tuesday I decided to hunt the next canyon. I got up extra [...]
Tiffany P. shot this Idaho bull on October 1st. It fell dead in a crack in a lava flow and even with five men they weren’t able to pry it out. After five hours they got the bull quartered and out. Talk about bad luck.
A friend of mine sent me some pretty cool pictures from his bear bait in Idaho. He has had numerous bears into this bait since putting it out on 8/31. Currently there are four bears using the bait, a large chocolate-colored bear, a medium size black bear with a white blaze on his chest, and [...]
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. As with most hunts you have fun, get frustrated, think about heading home early, and then you can’t wait to go do it again. This year [...]
While we were living in Tempe, AZ, Coletti and I applied for every hunt that we could. I drew an archery javelina tag and she drew a premium late mule deer tag on the Arizona Strip unit 13B… go figure. Like they say, life isn’t fair. The javelina hunt was in January, so I had [...]
We just got back from a Northern Idaho Steelhead fishing trip this spring up the East Fork of No-Tellum Creek. Cory, Bruce, Mike, Chris, Ben and Brett all went up for the weekend. We had a great time and landed a TON of fish. Most of these fish were caught on fly rods too! Ben [...]
I would like to tell everyone about our wonderful experience with Outdoors International’s Partner Outfitter. As non residents from Virginia, we put in for the early season unit 39 controlled mule deer hunt. In the two previous years, we were DIY (DO-IT-YOURSELF) hunters in western Wyoming. We put in extensive Internet research and talked with [...]
