Idaho Plans a Bust......Update with Success Story
« on: October 31, 2017, 08:28:34 AM »
So our back country plans for the Church took a turn for the worst yesterday. Plan A to get into the backcountry tanked because of the pending snow storm...Plan B is not an option anymore because I don't want to leave my truck back there all winter....Really bummed right now. :bash:

On a semi good note I called IDFG and if we can get to a regional office first thing tomorrow they will exchange our tags...But the only thing left is Whitetail only....ugh.....Off to Idaho tomorrow then up to Priest Lake....maybe things will work out for the best.

Priest Lake is going to get a bunch of snow for this time of year also.  Good hunting but go prepared

Lots of snow and really slow....we are camped in a foot of snow. Stretching out now checking new areas...most deer movement right at dark...still plugging away, but not great conditions.

What elevation are you camped at? Will be there Friday.
Albacore, the better white meat.
