This forum is dead with silence I enjoy Idaho to much to let this thread sit here in complete and udder silence! Any of you guys going/gone Steelhead fishing this year?? Numbers don't look to great and all the fires have made runoff pretty muddy, I'm heading up next week.

I started western hunting around Salmon. It was great hunting and scenery. Unfortunately, its only good scenery now. I miss going back there, I really do. If I dont draw a tag in 2015 I may go back, but I know it wont be like it used to be.

Idaho has some left! Just not as many. I wish I had pics of some of the bulls I have seen but I didnt have a very good camera or spotter when I saw most of them. This year I hope to be posting some pics of a big (maybe not real big lol) Idaho bull:)

the elk have all migrated to nevada, it is true. the wolves have chased then near the reno area. we are left with jackrabitts and rattlesnakes.

I disagree ....There are a lot of good hunting spots left in the state with a little hard work.!! If your looking for the hay day of the 60's and 70's there gone for sure. I traveled this world with the us navy and came back to my home state because there is no better in my opinion. I hate to see the good state of Idaho's name dragged through the mud. THERE STILL GOOD HUNTING HERE..

I don't think any one would disagree that there are some good hunting areas in ID still. I know there are still some elk in the areas I've hunted too. My issue is that the numbers are so low from just 6-8 years ago it tough to justify the cost to only maybe have a chance at filling a tag vs going to another state with better odds.

I love ID and I hope the area comes back with game. I will be there in a heart beat!

Well the first thing we did was cut all the trees down along the i-84 ,so you guys will head for oregon and washington.Then we started bitching about how shitty the hunting is.If you really like to hunt,trying killing a wolf.Year round season on private ground,come on out.Larry
