I live in the Wallace area bordering these units and grew up in them, surveyed them for the USDA as well. There's lots of out of state hunters, lots of brush, and elk numbers are down. Yes there are elk but the numbers are nothing like they were in the 80's and 90's. It was awesome growing...

First a thanks to this forum and another thanks to Shawn Carlock of Defensive Edge. My dad is very handicapped and cannot walk far on any surface. Basically to the bedroom-bathroom-family room. He's an 100% service connect disabled vetran. My sis and I bought him an Yamaha UTV so he can...

Units 10 and 12 are pretty poor units to be hunting elk in.

I've had Osprey, Mystery Ranch (Dana Design), Kifaru, and Granite Gear. I've had one Kifaru pack, the EMR it was. I just couldn't get the fit on it down so I sold it. You'll find that MR and Kifaru packs are made out of very high grade materials with heavy zippers (I like that part)...

Usually I carry an small one CR123 battery Nova Tac in my pocket at all times. That's daily carry. If I go out and into the brush I like to carry an headlamp as it allows handsfree operation. I prefer that my headlamp run on AA batteries. What I use is the Petzl MYO XP. It uses 3 AA...

I want PRK or lasik really really badly and live close to Spokane Wa where it's available. Trouble is that $3000-$4000 is just too much money for such an very short procedure. Another option is to check out how much this costs in Canada as my location in N. Idaho puts me just an hop, skip...

Indeed there are pleny of moose around the area where I live and I've had them in my yard. Also I have elk hang out right behind my property but it is quite brushy but makes for some good cross canyon shooting. I've done some trekking in the Selway/Lolo Pass area and found some really good...

Lately I've been mostly into hunting steel plate and clays. Trying to get back into hunting and am looking for folks to party up with for an safe and good time in the outdoors as the folks I used to hunt with are now not able to hunt due to age and mobility issues. I'm in N. Idaho and have...

I'll have to look into the 338 Norma some more and see what the costs are for components. It just seems to me that if folks are now using heavy pistols in the 338 cals, why not an handy short/carbine style rifle? An 18"-20" tube would be nice to carry and should provide slightly more or...

At this point all I own are heavy, long barreled rifles. I'm tired of packing really heavy rifles and am needing thoughts or information on making an rifle with an 18" barrel. I'm thinking of 338 EDGE as I already am set up for loading this one. Is it feasable to use an short barreled 338...

Drive up US HWY 12 in Idaho and watch the hillsides that are open brushfields. I live next to Interstate 90 in N. Idaho and there is lots of access. You can hunt the Coeur d' Alene river area or the St. Joe drainage areas from here.

I got in to town today and faxed it to them. thanks SS

Heh, I'm a kid and my rice rocket happens to be an Cadillac CTS-V. 556h.p. stock. Mine dynos out just over 620 with exhaust, air intake, and ecu mods. Talk about an wild ride!

Thank you

Here's the dimella I'm buying an Savage single shot short barreled action chambered in 338 EDGE off this forum. It is suitable for me as I'm not really much into hunting and really take my time getting set up and executing an shot. More of an hobby for me. The rifle is single of course...
