Elk Hunting / Re: Eastern Elk Management
« Last post by tankcdr66 on Yesterday at 08:55:49 PM »
The spike only changes happened in the 90s after they changed the Blues to spike only.  The area was (346) clobbered by heavy snow and the elk migrated through to Oak Creek Feed Station.  Back then you could hunt around the station and hunters caught them out in the sage flats and near the road.  I think several hundred bulls were killed over a few days and something like 66% were branch bulls.  The next season was spike only and it has stayed that way ever since.  Back in those days there about 1500 cow tags given out each season in the 346 unit.  Long gone are those days.

Deer Hunting / Re: Idaho Non-res hunt draw

I can tell you that I had 2-3 devices going just in case something happened with my spot. I would also call in and wait until I was given the option for them to call me back. The one year where the system went full meltdown the phone option was the fastest for me and I got my tags pretty early in the day. I also know some of the people that were waiting in lines in Idaho also had been in the queue just in case they processed that faster. Clearly there is a demand, but I don’t think we will ever know what the demand really was. Even if you compare to this year, it’s a completely different system that will likely make more difficult to get tags (at least that is my guess).

Is there data detailing the herd health from 2000 vs where it’s at now a quarter century later?  I’d be curious to know what the difference was then till now. Maybe there’s a discussion to be had.

The Yakima herd numbers are doing really well from what I’ve encountered in the woods. More calves than I can recall from the early 2000s. Tons of spikes and lots of bulls. The difference between now and then is there was only one tribe to deal with hunting elk in the early 2000s and now you add the muckleshoots to the mix and about that time all the bull permits started to dry up.
and the price per pound of jerky went up!

NIL money is ruining duck hunting??

If people were not on the couch watching college sports, then would there be a nil?  Sports viewing, fantasy, and betting has exploded especially around fall time.  Getting someone’s time is competition and is hunting winning?

 :chuckle: This is good stuff man. I love it. You know what I think I'll do this weekend? Shoot a limit of ducks on public land, come home, then watch football. Hunting wins and so do those money-grabbing, hunting-ruining athletes!!

While I have nothing against using dogs for any kind of hunting and I have had hounds almost all of my life, I am sorry that type of content is out there for the general public to see.  Believe me when I say, they won't see it the same way that hunters do.

 :yeah:

Sorry I watched it. :bash:
