Default Happy Camper am I!!!!

This spring I put in for two controlled hunts here in Idaho. One, the most important one, was an antlerless elk hunt from November 21 to December 31.

This is a rifle hunt, but matters not to me, The Knight Ultra-Lite and the 300 grain Bloodlines will be my partner on this hunt...

The second hunt I applied for was an extra late season Whitetail tag.. which real has three seasons...

1. Aug 30 to Sept 30 -> Archery only... rules me out...
2. Oct 10 to Dec 1 -> Rifle hunt again the Ultra-Lite and probably a 40x200 Bloodline
3. Dec 2 to Dec 14 -> Muzzleloader only - using Idaho's olden rules....

+ and a big + I have a regular whitetail, rifle season, tag for Oct 1 to Dec 1

You have to give up your regular season elk tag to get the late season cow tag... which is alright with me, the bow hunters have a very effective lobby and control the most of the 'Rut'

Congrats on the successful draws! The Ultra-Lite should get a real good workout it's first season.

Good Deal!!

I just put in for a ML draw hunt on a very tough to get local area. There are only 30 tags available and its only for 2 days but at least its before the normal rifle season. We can apply in groups of upto 5, so my buddy applied with me.
