IF, I do things right I should be able to hunt from now to the end of December.
The way my season breaks out - I opt from the muzzleloading elk hunt (spikes and cows only) 12-2 to 12-9. For that hunt I have to go by Idaho's ML rules, no scopes, caps only, loose powder, and full bore conicals....
But all the rest of the hunting - I can use a modern ML during our rifle season.
So from now to 12-2, I am hunting Whitetail and to make the season last I am hunting only for that decent buck... until the last two weeks - then if it has a white tail it might be in jeopordy. Then I have an anterless tag that is good till 12-30 - gotta save that to get through Christmas... so if things go right - 3 wonderful months of hunting...
I headed out this morning the one of our spots on State land. I was headed to one of our hot spots - Slaughter House Gulch... It was an eventfull morning several nice Whitetail does and even one Whitetail buck - it was OK but it was not the one - besides this is way to early to shoot... I would end up doing 'Honey Do's" until mid November when the other deer tag kicks in. So it got a walk...
Here is a picture looking down Slughter House - the picture does not look like much but it is a good spot...

Headed to another spot in the morning.. We did jump some elk in this area last week while turkey hunting...
Speaking of Turkey's after getting back to the truck - there standing the road getting the fill of freshly graded gravel on the road was a bunch of Turkeys - course the season closed yesterday....

I will be joining you in Idaho next year. I am not going to pay washington's prices any more, especially after this last hike. Good luck to you mike. :tup:
Welcome over... I think you might like our hunting regualtions a little better over here, other than the ML conical rule but that isn't all that bad with a slip-fit Bull Shop...
