Funny story about Idaho Whitetail.. I went out in a General DIY OTC hunt for muleys and saw a buck bedded down in the bushes at about 350 yards. I knew it was a buck but looking at the antlers thought it was a non typical because of the symetry. I shot him.. got up to it and it was a mountain whitetail. Weren't suppose to be whitetail in the unit at all.. but there he was. I hunted his whitetail buddy for three years with my long bow, but could never get him. I didn't want to shoot him with my rifle because I had so much fun hunting him with my bow. This other whitey was on Private land though, more reason to just hunt him with a bow. Unfortunatly this last year someone tresspassed and shot my buck. I was really upset over the whole thing. This guy went around town bragging on how he took him. What a loser. Could never get Fish and Game to do anything about it though. Sucked.

Sorry to hear about the buck, I got that alot out in CA. But you still got a good white tail.

SS- Yeah I really like Salmon I started hunting it around 2003 with a buddy of mine. Then I met some sheriff's and Police Officers from there and got some really good pointers for the area. So salmon has become a fall destination for me every year.
Have you seen the new Fish and Game rules for the Salmon B tag. they have put a cap on the tags, which I think is fine. Since the wovle as been back I have seen the elk hard dip a little. The good thing is the witers have been mild so there is not alot of death do to winter. I just have to be one of the frist ones to get my Elk tag.

Yup. Since I live right on the Idaho/Washington boarder I make it a point to get over there every general season. I usually do pretty good over there too although I was skunked this past season. I did pass on two smaller 4x4s early in the season but just as luck would have it, they vanished when I finally decided to drop one. Oh well, there is always THIS year!

Here's a few pics of some of the bucks me, my brother, and my nephew have pulled out of there over the last few seasons. (I have more somewhere. Will need to dig through all my files one of these days)

Those are some nice looking bucks! Is it pretty tough to draw a tag in Idaho? Have been thinking about hunting whitetails but don't really know where would be best to start.
