Deer Hunting / Re: 2025 blacktail rut thread
« Last post by mboyle0828 on Today at 04:38:50 PM »
We've seen 50 plus does since Saturday.  3 spikes and 2 small forks.  No signs of the rutting at all here.  Most of my bucks on trail cameras are late at night, very early in the morning.

Same on my cams in 627 Kitsap.

Out Of State Hunting / Re: Wyoming elk who's in?
« Last post by finnman on Today at 04:26:47 PM »
We returned Sunday from 10 days in SW Wyoming. Our group filled our 3 cow tags and also 4 antelope buck tags.
We witnessed some amazing rut action! Saw around 30-35 bulls in 4 days.
My wife took her cow out of a herd of 35 elk with 10 being bulls.
335 yards shot with her .270 Win. Using 150 grain Nosler Partitions.
All 4 of us vowed to go back and do this hunt again as soon as possible. It was a blast!

Went out Sunday afternoon and saw 23 does and one little spike. He was with a couple does, but could have been mom and sister. 😂

Guns and Ammo / Re: Boring & relining .22 barrel, any recommendations?

If you don't see an obvious bur as if someone kept dry firing without protection, I would suggest clean the chamber and put some 220 grit oxide cloth on a dowel inside it. Give it a decent polish, not a high shine, if it looks like it needs it.  Or you might need to check the extractor and extractor tension.

Trail Cameras / Re: Idaho on the verge of outlawing
« Last post by CarbonHunter on Today at 02:02:52 PM »
Those harvest statics are mostly driven by population declines due to winter kill. Keep in mind as the numbers have been steadily decreasing (for deer) that Idaho has been reducing opportunity by cutting where second deer tags can be used and making non residents pick the unit they will hunt. This while overall hunting numbers have been increasing and the success rates have dropped. If Idaho doesn’t continue to take actions to moderate the harvest and opportunity they will surely cut the seasons or go to more units requiring special draws.

so if i shoot a buck or bull, in a 100 gmu, and i want to European it, i have to cape the head, pull out the eyes and some how remove the brain and leave the lower jaw in the woods so i can take the rest of it home. then get it home, i have to submit the wdfw samples. this is a laughing joke, how utterly stupid. if i want to mount it, i need to crop the rack in the field.  i bet the wdfw cant wait to write tickets for this, between these rules and baiting, he state has a new source of revenue.  the socialist review just had an article last week about people turning in lots of baiting sites.

Hey ya'll
Spoke to 2 different hunters who shot bucks in the 100 GMU units who had NO IDEA about the new laws. This is not a post to be the 'rules police' but rather for advisement because neither of these gentlemen had any idea about the new rules enacted in March of this year. It is in the game regulations.

***ALL deer harvested in the 100 GMUs must be reported and submit a tissue sample for CWD testing with 5 days of harvest- WAC 220-413-100
***All deer, elk, or moose must be skinned out completely to include skin off the face and eyes, brain, and lower jaw removed before leaving the unit- same law as with any elk, moose, deer, or caribou coming in from outside the state.  WAC 220-413-030

Taxidermists CANNOT accept game that does not meet these requirements as we can be fined for such activity. Again, posting to help this from occurring as the fines are not slight and I was told by a game warden that animals/trophies can be confiscated if not abided by....
Just saying....
