So I am going to start baiting on the 25th.  I'll be posting photos, but I don't want it to feel like I am poking anyone in the eye.  I know a LOT of you were really looking forward to chasing bears and I don't want to add to your frustration.  You guys want to see photos or would you prefer that I wait until all this crap is over and we can all get back out in the woods?  I'm good either way.

Fred you are a gentleman, but we need to see some pics on this forum!  :twocents:

Not sure what is like where youre hunting, but i went over today thinking to get a few days of early bear hunting in.  Every road i tried to go up was a mess.  Got myself stuck twice, decided i should just wait a couple more weeks  and not push my luck any further.  Guess its back to getting skunked on lions locally for now.


Yep it's bad in several spots.  Careful if you come back over, the new Gov extension no longer allows non-residents to enter Idaho for hunting and fishing....at least until 30 April.

No, in fact I usually don't start until the last week of April.  I've put baits out on the 15th and they rarely get hit before the end of the month.

Theres always a few early birds roaming the woods though.  Whether or not i draw, ill be out calling starting april 1st for lions anyway.  My luck ill not draw bear, try to call in a lion, and have a b&c blonde boar come running in.

I need a fawn in distress hand call. Any recommendations?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

So I must have missed where ID said that non res can’t come over.
I know you can’t buy tags, but I have mine.

They will honor your fishing license and hunting license and permits, BUT when the Gov extended the stay at home order they added that if you come from out of state you must quarantine for 14 days.  They do not consider hunting and fishing as essential.  Its new from the Gov.

So not to take away from thread
What definition of quarantine?

Who has 14 days to sit around
Sounds like something WA would do to not have to refund tags

Quarantine:

impose isolation on (a person, animal, or place); put in quarantine.


So putting myself in the woods, isolated, by definition is quarantine.

That’s what I’m thinkn
What gets me is I can’t take 2 weeks off to quarantine in woods for 14 days
