Title: 38 Days , Bear bows , Elk , Whitetail and ?????????
Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on August 25, 2011, 12:33:00 AM
Well I head north from Texas in a few hours for another Idaho dream hunt , will be gone 38 days with 32 of them hunting days. Dont think I can top last years hunt but I will do my best all I know is it will be fun no matter what. I will be after elk and deer for the most part with a few other possibilities in the mix. Last year my hunt was out of this world now keep in mind I am far from a trophy hunter. I just love hunting with a bow and every day is a good day in my book. I will pack in a few times and hunt a friends place also when I go in town I can get on the computer and will be keeping my hunt update on here.My bows will be Bear T/Ds and several diff broadheads will see some air time I hope.Season opens on Aug 30 so I will have several days of scouting the area before the opener.
Anyway here are the pics from last year , and I will be keeping this updated as I can. Be safe on yalls hunts and good luck,,,,,,,Sam,,,,,,,

Good luck.  I'd love to take a month or more to chase everything that I could get a tag for!

Good choice....Bear T/Ds.  Best of luck.

Been here for several days now have done much scouting we saw a whitetail buck 2 days ago that will go 160-170. Today is opening day only saw a doe and her fawns at my big buck spot. The other hunters that were after elk saw 9 bulls and 15 cows got about 60yds from em. Great morn in the woods for sure.So what now should I stay on my big Whitetail or get after the Elk.I got 31 and 1/2 days of hunting still to come.I got a good spot with muledeer going through a pinch point I think Im going to set tonight ( never killed a MD ) . Thanks for all the well wishes will do my best and get some Pics up soon,,,,,,Sam,,,,,,
