Welcome aboard "Shed33" great pictures!!!! Nice bull and a good looking whitetail.
I'd venture a guess and say that bucks close to 160.

RobinHood36---I've enjoyed your comments, good to have you around!!! elknut1

Shed,
Very nice elk and whitetail.
Most folks don't know about the huge whitetails in N Idaho that is a great example.
Here is a photo of a Salmon River Breaks bull I took two years ago.
Called him in and shot him at 20 yards.
Turned out to be a double because a friend of mine went back a week later and shot a 6'5" black bear off the bones of this elk.

Robinhood, Elknut, and Noway,

Thank you for the kind words. Nice to see all you guys with such great looking Idaho critters as well.

I have been a moderator for a couple years now over in the hunt net chat, I just havent had time much lately to visit. I need to visit here more. Its nice to get to visit with and share our Idaho biggame harvests.

Yes, I have had my buck officially scored. As a matter of fact I have last years left side shed off of this buck and videoed this summer while
scouting him. His left side as you can see in the photo is his weekest side.

His pic doesnt do him justice. He's alittle better than 160 elknut. I just signed the paper work on him from Pope and Young. He ended up scoring 182 1/8 gross, 177 and 5/8 Net Nontypical. He should ( unless someone arrowed a bigger one this year) fall into the # 2 spot for "Bowkilled" whitetail Nontypicals in Idaho. I just sent off the paper work to PY so it will be a while before he is in the Idaho book.

Noway, great bull by the way..from Salmon river country. I grew up in Riggins..as a kid..and my bro lives down there still. Just got back a couple weeks ago as a matter of fact from shed hunting for mule sheds in Hells Canyon.

Well guys good luck in all your hunting .. looking forward to keeping in touch..

Thanks Elknut,
Ditto as well, I love clicking on your site and just plain like hearing the elk bugle out of the computer, just can't do it anymore when the wife is around, as she just does'nt appreciate the fine sound of a bull elk quite like I do....

Noway,
That is a great bull as well and beautiful country, just does'nt get any better...

Shed33,
Maybe #2 in Idaho, taken with bow, Cheers!!!
Take Care,

thanks robinhood36 for the welcome, where i have been hunting seems to have no short supply of bow hunters we've changed hunting areas 3 times over the last 4 years ,, seems to be growing in my neighborhood, but thats ok. more the merry i guess.

Thanks all for the welcome!!

I'll be hunting in Idaho after turkey season I think, by then I will have my residency!

I've been living in Coeur d'Alene for about 6 months or so now and done plenty of scouting and meeting folks so I'll have some places to hunt! Take care all!

Looks like I was a mite off on the score!!! 180 class buck, man that's a hog of a whitetail. Do you guys own the the store just out of Riggins? I've been in there many times, don't hunt down that way generally, usually fishing.

RobinHood36

You have to do like others do, go to the part of my site where it says "Elk Sounds" Push the play buttons on all of them at once, man what a hoot it sounds like two herds out there really fussing it up, and wives love it, yea right!!!!!

We're in the proccess of rebuilding the whole site, start to finish. We'll have a new sound on the home page, it'll get your attention. elknut1

Noway---Thought I'd say howdy!! elknut1

What are the season dates in Idaho for elkhunting. I would be interested in moonlighting on a personal hunt for myself. If you guys wouldn't mind a non-resident chasin after your bulls. I sure would like to come give it a shot. There's nothing like hunting new country for the first time.

cherokee-outfitter

That'a pretty vague question. Dates vary from zone to zone and for bow or rifle.

But generally speaking, the Archery Seasons start Aug.-31--Sept.30
The rifle season starts Oct.15th--Nov.3rd again this depends on the units you're interested in. If this works, great. If not, be more specific and we'll be glad to help.--elknut1

I had no idea the units would set the date in Idaho. Different state different way they do things. Anyway thanks elknut
