5 day hunt would work, it takes a day to get baits set up, so that leaves 4 to sit on them, providing they are in a good location. One hunter is allowed 3 baits. You can still spot and stalk until you have an active bait, baiting gives you another option. If you're in a good area, a bait will...

Idaho spring bear can be good, across the border from NW Montana. Best to have a week or so. I've gotten 4 bears in last 4 years. Bait works best for me. All the areas which allow 2 bears are places to start. Fresh snow helps to locate bears with tracks. Late May and June are the best months...

Drew bull moose in Idaho.

We shot 2 elk from the same herd. Late night picture after packing the 1st one out.

Here's one I made. I use it for field and broadheads. Used 2 sheets of poly iso, 18" thick about 32" X 32" held together with threaded bolts, 1 x 6 lumber.

Been getting to know a rancher that owns a lot of acreage near my hunting cabin. Trouble is he has the land that backs to BLM and Nat. Forest. When I ask permission, usually offer help to fix stuff on the ranch. He took me up on the offer and we fixed a 5' deep waterer. We went through his place...

Idaho F&G extended the wolf seasons in some units, although these won't show in the regs. A lot of units only by a month that were through March 31st are now ending April 30th. Units 21 and 28, which I hunt will be open until June 30th, yay! Getting a wolf is on my bucket list. Looks like this...

Not sure. These handouts were in the Salmon's Fish & Game Department so that they were highly visible to everyone. It is also on their website. Don't know if the landowner would have to press charges versus the F&G being able cite if written permission wasn't given.

Idaho is changing the trespass law effective July 1st of this year requiring written permission or other lawful form to enter or remain on private land to shoot, trap, retrieve game, fish or hunt. Seems like just getting a verbal okay from the landowner is not going to be valid anymore.

Finally got the bear! Thanks for all your advice. Tried just about everything, moved my stand 100 yds away, came in from different direction, paid close attention to wind direction and tried to be as scent free as possible. Yesterday, during a light snowstorm, I refreshed the bait and the bear...

Posting this for my neighbor in Salmon. He has a 2bd/2ba condo for sale about 20 miles south of Salmon off Hwy 28 for 25K. It was a small motel converted into a couple of condos. He used this condo to hunt and fish. The Lemhi and Hayden Creek confluence is closeby. It has deer (whitetail and...

Trying to get this bear to come into my ground blind set up while I'm there. The bait was set up 9 days ago and this bear came into the bait after 2 days. Then came in everyday day, usually mornings and evening both for 6 days. I hunted on 4 times in mornings and evenings, never showed. Any...

Unit 28 Yesterday setting bear baits, Salmon River close to flood stage, view from cabin

Wife in hot springs soak on the way out. Hope this is the PG version :-)

Crossing the Lochsa River. Going to get moose and bear!

Hope it's not too late to enter. Moose and bear unguided in Idaho Selway Wilderness.

Daughter and son-in-law both have moose tags in Idaho. After a few hunting trips, we've have seen about 6 bulls so far. Since most of them were small that we saw, it was decided to take a small bull and at least fill the freezer due to time constraints and focus on a larger one later. Here is a...

Just heard that 12 wolves were legally harvested by Wyoming hunters after 3 years of non hunting them. Good to know they're starting to put them down. Seems like more needs to be done. In Idaho, while archery deer hunting this past weekend, I came across a hunter who said he killed 5 wolves...

Went archery deer hunting the other day and came across a truck that was halfway in the highway wrecked and a cow elk also in the road. An Idaho Transportation person was there and we helped him get the elk off the highway. The elk had a couple of broken legs, but otherwise was in good shape...

Drew a moose tag in Idaho for unit 12-3. Planning on a backpack trip at the beginning of September for a week and another week during the rut. Never hunted the unit before and was reaching out for anyone that has hunted that unit before for general areas to check out. Only 2 tags in that hunt...
