I just got back from 113 and Idaho unit 1.  The bucks are in full rut and have begun breeding.  We saw a few older bucks following does or on the move as late as 8 am and as early as 3:30 pm.  We saw 7 bucks in 6 days and harvested 5 of them.  A couple were around 5 years old and between 225 - 250 #'s.

You'll be hunting the post breeding so the big ones will be out desperately looking for that last doe to come into estrous.  Be ready for a monster.  They were breeding this last weekend.

Talked to one of the guys still at camp last night (between Northport and Ione) and he said the rut is kickin in to high gear. There are scrapes everywhere you look but nothing moving during the day just yet. Still no deer down, and today is the last day. He also talked to a game warden that stopped by camp and the gw said he had talked to approx. 200 hunters and seen only 5 deer taken.
Live your life in such a way that if someone were to speak poorly of you, nobody would believe them.

Deer are coming out at around 6:45 am and 3:30 pm.  Get into position near a trail at around 6 am and 2 pm.  Sit still and wait.
