Idaho Tag

[Deafirishman]

Purchased my Idaho elk archery tag about 15 minutes ago....when do I start hunting ?? Hopefully this coming season my group and I get an opportunity at the magical and elusive 300" of horn and put him on the ground Time to start training again since the weather is starting to cooperate somewhat in Minnesnowta. Hope everyone has stayed in shape more than I have this past winter although one would think taking care of 3 kids would keep you in shape. As much running around I have been doing with the kids, I probably could run a marathon

Anyways, hope everyone's off-season has been a successful one for you. Looking forward to watching the forum heat up as we start preparing for the 2015 season.

Southeastern part of Idaho. It's our 3rd year in a row going. Friday the 13th is a regular on the forum and one of my hunting partners. We have a lot of positive things going for us in this area and beginning to figure out the area and the elk patterns. I believe this will be the year we put some serious horns on the wall If money grew on trees, I definitely would be putting in for other tags but unfortunately this thing called work doesn't pay me enough

Yes sir, isn't that the truth! (grin) I think most all of us here are blue collar workers, if money was not an issue our hunts & places we'd choose could be endless! (grin) I'm hunting the west central part of the state. It's a few hours north of you guys. Good luck sir with some great bone this year!

I understand your thinking on hunting and familiarizing yourself with the OTC tag you bought, but for nearly the same cost you could pick a controlled hunt to put in for and fall back on your chosen OTC area. This strategy could allow you more opportunity at a little better unit to hunt now and then. That said, good luck and hopefully we read your posts about your 300" plus bull later this year!

I don't know you Did you get over the bird flu?
No 300" bull for me, I'm holding out for a 350" or miles of walking and look for the wipiti, only to watch you shoot again, but at least you can hit something. I just got my new Black Gold sight in the mail, but have not had time to put it on. Those .10 pins are small. Should be able to shoot a fly at 60 yards.
