Did you get to shoot any wolfs in Idaho?

This was the first year I haven't heard them howl... but I howled for them. While Jeff and I were taking photos of a monster, a wolf walked over our tracks headed up the canyon. Oops!  :dunno:
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Always great stories. I need to start looking for better hunting partners. Mine won't go even where you go. Nice job

I'm thinking MOST won't go where Hirshey goes. I could have 20 years ago, but not anymore.

Congratulations Hirshey and thanks for  the story.

Great story and great animals.

Did your uninvited guests leave the ridge in 2014 and go elsewhere and did you see you see them again this year?

Do you have to make two trips out when you break camp?

They shot a small deer in 2014 and moved on. Left the skull plate where they were camped as a "kind" gesture. They ended up leaving our area, and hunting where one of my friends hunt. Not the kindest, but I was happy to have some space this year.


We did two trips in one day, which made for one BIG day. We were all beat.

I can never see anything hirshey posts. I don't know why, it shows an x on the page instead of pictures.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Thnx for sharing. I used to hunt that country ten years ago before kids. Its a distant memory that in the next couple years will become reality again. Its to bad though the elk seem to have left the area.

Again, thnx for sharing, great stories.

Thank you for deciding the trips warranted sharing with us! You know how many on here love the story you lay out with each hunt you share. Best of luck (not that luck has much to do with your success) next year and cannot wait to read the next story  :tup:
