Title: 2019 McCall zone B tag...Idaho
Post by: Mark Youngblood on December 02, 2018, 07:47:43 PM
I bought a tag for next year so curious if anyone wants to share some intel or possibly talk about hunting together.  I bring many years of elk killing experience  and all  my own gear...if nothing else maybe juts being same general area to work together.  I am excited to see some new country and will be scanning the internet for as much info as I can...

How big is your hunting party?  I hunted further north this last fall, but had a buddy shoot a buck in the McCall area that was nice.  He was in a burn area.

Wolves seemed to run the elk really hard up there this year, dont think I will go back to that unit for b tag. Would say almost half the trucks up there were from Washington though, so you should feel right at home

Discussions on the internet sure have brought a lot of additional pressure on Idaho the past five years. Shame as used to be an enjoyable experience hunting there without a ton of out of state pressure. I see Montana and Colorado , WY, E Oregon are experiencing the same with all the hunting shows and hunting related social media .
Pimping out these states.


I imagine it will soon go to draw only soon. I guess enjoy while you can.

With the music choice, I believe they're trying to point out the hunting scene in Last Of the Mohicans is nothing but Hollywood wizardry.

Looks like a Eric Chesser hunting video

Emptied the magazine on that sucker. Didn't look like a 5 or even 10 round mag either. Couple forky mulies and a elk you gut shot to death

Idaho has had the same amount of tags and hunting pressure for the last several years. Tags sales dropped off when the elk populations dropped due to wolves, things are slowly rebounding.

2018 is the first year Idaho sold out of elk tags since 2008

Colorado is seeing a lot more non res elk and deer applications too

So it appears pressure is increasing

Let's not forget about the youtube elk channels that are funded by yeti, RMEF, rockey mountain elk calls, Phelps, BRO, HUSH, ELK101

Mountains are seeing a surge of the mtn ops sitka flat bill crowd. 

Hunter numbers are DROPPING if the industry is trying to kick start some new blood into our sport that's not a bad thing, just annoying at times!

It is a dificult thing to explain to people.  As a person who was born and raised in Naches, Washington we tend to move to other places and then blend in with our new location and then quickly identify as something new and different.  I live 30 minutes outside Sacramento and I now identify as a non-ethical Californian who invades other states with my unlimited supply of coin!

For Idaho Res tags it states in fine print that for your tag to be valid you must have/use an ATV or UTV while in the pursuit of game.  :rolleyes:

Tags are capped in almost every state.  CO elk is one of the few that isn't.

My theory is that the bull wasn't hit to the point that it was just standing there. I believe the first, perhaps only, shot that hit him was the one where he was standing still.

I have not hunted there but a good friend did very well there for years. He did pull out when the wolves became a real problem for where he was hunting in the unit. That was 10 years ago I am guessing. Wish I had more info for you but that all I know!
