First year in a while that we were completely skunked. We had a half dozen tags going into the hunt, but didn’t fill any... and that’s hunting. It was an epic camping trip. Chartered a flight into a backcountry dirt airstrip for an ultralight backpack hunt. We landed in 4” of snow at 5k ft and hiked back up into a canyon 9-10 miles to hunt between 7k-9k ft elevation. Temps were down into the teens for a low. We glassed and glassed. Saw a lot of Idaho. It many animals other than dogs.
I won’t hunt that area of Idaho again. We saw more wolves than deer and elk put together, but never could get close enough to get a shot off. The deer and elk were few and far between. We found quite a few wolf kills. And had wolves kill a doe right up near our camp one night.
Spring pig hunt is up next. My son is finally old enough to be going with me this year.

Much of Idaho is that way unfortunately, I've seen the deer, moose and elk populations plummet over the last 15 years.First year in a while that we were completely skunked.

I’ve seen plenty of deer this year. Even watched a couple of trophies. Got a short video of a big fox squirrel with my phone. We don’t have many fox squirrels here.
Maybe I’ll pull the trigger by the end of the season. Maybe not, but I have had the opportunity to sit and watch deer.
January and February are dedicated to squirrel and shed hunting. My favorite by far. Got skunked on sheds last year for the first time. Hopefully this year will be better.

This is the best thing I've seen on my Kentucky hunting lease so far this season, lol. Seen a few 8 pointers that could be decent bucks next season, lots of lesser ones, all got a pass this year. Regardless it beats being at work. It's muzzleloader season this week, so maybe a doe will be taken next weekend.

Trogon,
I have an unopened Weller distillery bottle of 15 year Pappy for trade of the right rifle.

We found some of that “white gold” in ID. So we packed a little out. About mile 8, we couldn’t remember why... It’s just too bad there wasn’t any meat attached to it.

Awesome find!
Shed hunting is like Easter eggs for grownups.

It is mind boggling that non hunters can't see the truth about wolves.

We’ve had a great season thus far on the client front but I was actually able to get to hunt a little myself! I took two nice management deer. I hope to get to whack a few ducks New Years weekend but we’ll see.

A nice Alabama deer in the cooler he is heavy in body and horn and old but only about a 15 inch inside spread so he got knocked down. Real day and good meat though.
