I think go4steelhd's approach worked out okay for him.

I guess I'm hunting in more popular areas. Why I say this I hiked in three hours In The dark opening day. No trials. There was several other guys that showed up in the same area. The next day was worse. I'm impressed how hard guys will work in Idaho to find a big buck. I also feel Idaho guys are the least friendly to nonresidents. Which is sad because I lived there for 10 years
If you are comparing pressure with Wyoming high country there is less In Idaho. But there is less deer as well.



I agree. I hike way back in on some hunts only to find almost as many guys there as right off the road. Plenty of guys riding 4 wheelers but a lot of Idaho  hunters hit the back country hard and I find it hard to get away from the crowds no matter how far in. I guess I need to scout out some new areas where everybody just rides 4 wheelers! would be a big advantage to a guy that likes to hike where are these areas you speak of

This is a dead horse, but I have never seen so many people as I have in 43, reminded me of Vail in its heyday.

Idaho sucks. Nobody should go hunting there.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Makes me want to buy frozen peas just thinking about it
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Maybe it's just mood swings...I heard those will happen more often now.

and most days are of the bipolar variety, I just roll with it.

Not worth it.

Back on the subject...seriously buying tags and google scouting an area in da ho and hunting it, being prepared to move to plan B and plan C...it's a good time. Worst case scenario you end up learning something and go back the next year with a better starting point.
