Title: What a cool Christmas gift!
Post by: wence5 on December 29, 2012, 10:09:43 PM: Got the best Christmas gift ever! My son in-law invited me to join him on an Idaho Mule deer hunt, and he is picking up the tab for my tag! Anyway, since both of us have never hunted Idaho, can any of you give me some tips on units for over the counter tags?
I am so stoked about the prospects of hunting Idaho! :IBCOOL:

I know it is close to Boise, but we both know a guy that has hunted this unit in the past with success. I'm just looking for any tips from you guys.

When they get snow they kill some good bucks. And I mean good bucks. 160 to over 200 inches. They got one this year that scored 204. But when it doesnt snow the bucks are a lot smaller.
