Holy... I almost just died laughing big country. good call.

and congrats on hunting idaho, where do you hunt? If you hunt in S. Idaho in the potato fields or desert to the west I wouldn't consider hunting in idaho. Once you move your way up to where the big elk and mulies live in the north, then you are hunting Idaho. Where its raining/snowing/windy, tree covered steep mountains. There is no humid sunny days where you are shooting at over 300 yards at an animal with a damn steam cloud. No. Maybe a cross ridge shot at an animal snaking through a clear cut or opening, but thats about it, and yes its still either raining or snowing, or just generally cold.
