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.

You can buy tags already?

SO what your saying is shoot till you run out of ammo....and hope you hit it at least once.

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

That's one of the big reasons we hate Californians more than Washington people over here. Do stupid unethical stuff like that :stup:

Same amount of pressure the technology has just gotten alot better.

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.

:yeah: and I'd love to know how many were bought by Idaho residents

A lotta Idaho hunters on side-by-sides this year. Kinda of a new sport cross between road hunting and recreational atv riding.

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!

Lol, After the 5 or so posts like this I've seen, I've been waiting for someone to call him out.

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!

I was thinking Idaho must be #1 in side by side sales this last deer season.

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.

Probably blend in just fine with the people of Sun Valley, Hailey or Bellevue.

When asked why you don t have to wear orange in idaho I said because you should see the atv

:chuckle: that’s funny always amazed at the instant natives that after 6 months are the biggest haters of hunters from their home state.

Good grief. What is the point of a tacticool rifle like that if you don't bring another 10 round mag?

Definitely up there among the most ridiculous "hunting" videos I've seen in a while. Can't believe that guy had the stones to post that on the internet.

the worst was the bull staggering at the end as he stood there. Would love to smack the #@$% out of the guy

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.

LMAO.........might be my favorite post of the year :lol4:
-
WTF was that?! I can’t believe someone has the balls to actually post that garbage on the internet!! Idiots.
-
Wow... I finally watched it. Why the hell would you bugle at a dieing elk!? Kind of sick IMO. And to video him struggling and sick instead of putting him down is sick as well
-
Just watched myself. What an absolute twit. Incredible.
-
that pos makes us all look bad.

WOW.!!! :bash:

Clearly this guy has none of the ethics and practices most of us take pride in.. Everything about it is horrible and for him to post shows how incredibly ignorant he is. Kind of wish we would pull the link so his video doesn't keep getting views. I hope he is getting railroaded on his link.
-
Mods can we delete this thread so that video is gone.....that makes me sick that someone did that. I was simply hoping to get some knowledge on that tag area but looks like it went sideways....please delete

It’s on YouTube there’s no deleting that

I’m sorry your post got railroaded on one of the first replies to your question. That’s pretty lame but the video caught everyone’s attention, even mine. Perhaps we can lock this thread or perhaps even you should start a new one?
-
Sorry. I didn’t think about it...at all. I guess that’s just “one way” to hunt the McCall zone :/
-
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!
