Anyone that has been hunting for a while knows these words well. It's not the words any of us like to use, but the reality of it is...it happens. Today is the end of the regular deer hunting season in south Idaho. This isn't quite how I had it planned out three months ago, but as fate would have it one of the large wild fires that hit Idaho this year was burning in the area we were going to go hunting. So our elk season got scrubbed, and I ended up having to explore new hunting areas down here in southern Idaho for deer. It was a little frustrating at times, but the positive things that came out were that I had learned some new hunt areas and explored some beautiful country.
I found some nice rubs in one area but I couldn't find the culprit.
I found myself in a heard of elk with the bull bugling his head off within yards of me. I glassed up a huge black bear boar that was roaming looking for his next meal. I came across countless haunts that ruffed grouse called their home. So even though I wasn't able to fill my tag I came out with a lot of useful information on the area.
Hunting season is far from over though. My daughter still has a late season controlled hunt tag to fill, I have a doe tag for central Idaho to fill, and there is still plenty of bird hunting left to do.
