I missed the 1st year draw, but the last year it seemed ok. I drew #846 or so and pulled my tag after 2 hours maybe. But this year just blew me away how bad it was. I'll look into the Controlled Hunts. Thanks for that info.

So is a *Draw Hunt* still for Idaho and Non-Residents ? If so, when is that deadline ?

Zak, I get what you are saying. My hide was just chapped, cuz I blew a day trying to get tags and my 2023 out-of-state hunt was hanging in the balance. After the experience I had, I'm totally willing to go thru the old snail mail system and wait weeks or months for the results. The...

Curious to know if anyone else enjoyed the Online Fiasco yesterday with the Idaho Non-Resident Application process ? :mad: I attempted to jump online at 8:30AM PST to enter the waiting room queue. It took 20 minutes to finally enter and I was #12,834 in queue. I also dialed into their 800# to...

After all these years, I still see no political will to save the Sea today. According to the politicians, the costs to save it, exceed the perceived benefits. This State really doesn't want to support anything to do with Hunting related, but they will happily keep taking our money and raising...

Really nice buck! I haven't seen a nice one like that in years. Good work ;)

Good for You!!! I totally agree,.... ANY D16'er, is a huge accomplishment, especially on publick land. Pathetically, I had the *stink* on me for 12 years, until I filled a D16 tag. ....and mine was actually a smaller fork than yours ;) It was a trophy to me, I had it stuffed. Hard...

Quick Update - I purchased the multiple state OnX 1-yr multi-state deal on Father's Day, only $59 . My buddy in Idaho sent me a couple of Pins already, where we will be elk hunting during Archery elk season in September. Looks to be intuitive so far. I'll be going out scouting locally soon...

A comment on binoc's.......I would not buy a $59 pair of binoculars. You will quickly regret it and just end up replacing them out of frustration. Do your homework. A lot of great articles online about optics. You can get a very respectable pair of binoculars these days, that will give you a...

Hey, thanks for the info. I'll be going down to the Bow-n-Arrow to check this thing out. It sounds like it will likely fix my fuzzy pins ;)

I've been looking into getting the Verifier Peepsite Magnification kit for my Bowtec, to resolve my blurry pin issue. Curious to know if anyone has purchased and used this system and any thoughts ?

Great camo ! ........dawgs look *All Business*........

Thanks to everyone for really good experience and insights. I'm going to subscribe to OnX to start with and start my learning curve now.

My question is, has anyone found OnX Maps to be valuable for scouting & hunting in San Diego ? After a long break, I decided to try SD deer hunting again, both archery and rifle. I'm going to try to hunt more north of 8 freeway from the Laguna's and further north. I'm going to start scouting...

Thank you guys ....still can't believe I caught a fish like that ;) I picked up the meat today and going to have a pretty nifty family dinner. Can't wait to go again soon. GitchYaSum!

I thought I'd pass along, I went out on my first multi-day trip Friday, 5/27 thru 5/30 after my 1st BFT. I haven't been on much more than ~30lb YFT many years ago, so very limited practical experience. On Friday, the Searcher took us out ~ 30mi off Ensenada, really windy, producing 3ft...

Glad to share the pics for sure. I actually didn't know about the Aux campground spot. Really good to know. Thanks!

I was looking at a few of my photos today from this past Waterfowl Season and thot I'd share a few. In SoCal - At the last minute, I was bumped out of my invited spot in a group camping RV spot for the Season at Wister, which effectively cancelled my duck season. I salvaged the season solo...

You read my mind. I have always liked that Murillo call. It would be a challenge to figure out how to make that on my wood lathe. I have a few ideas...may make a little firewood in the process. Ha! Good thoughts and ideas. Thanks!

Ha!....that was a few years ago ;) Hopefully it's still pulling in the ducks. Lots of things have changed for me, so I'm getting back to hobies I really enjoy. Agree, I am partial to wood calls myself. Acrylic has a unique sound, that really works and sounds solid. Miss talking everything...
