22 May Happy Memorial Day May 22, 2020By Joe Cavanaugh Announcements, General Information Black Bear Hunts, Drop Camps, Elk Hunts, Idaho Black Bear Hunts, Idaho Hunts, Mule Deer Hunts 0 Memorial Day is here again, signaling the unofficial start of summer. There’s much more to it however, than picnics and beaches. Memorial Day is an official Federal Holiday in honor of military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We shouldn’t forget that. Even if you don’t know anyone personally who has given their life for our freedom, you could still visit a national cemetery, attend a parade, or just sit down and reflect on our great country and what it took in lives to make it great.God bless America,Joe Cavanaugh Related Posts Happy 4th of July It is my opinion that the only thing (possibly) better than sharing a hunting camp with good family and friends could be a good old-fashioned family gathering and it seems like the 4th is one of the best times for such an event. We hope you celebrate this 4th with family and friends safely and always remember why we celebrate this day. Got Tags? Here we are knocking on the tail end of big game application season 2026. Have you drawn a tag yet? To be fair, there is one week left on Idaho’s 2026 big game application season and there may be some states that haven’t drawn yet, but we are getting down to the short rows of needing to make plans if we intend to hunt fall of 2026. Couple Spots Still Available for 2026 Idaho Spring Bear Season It’s only April 15 and some Idaho areas are just opening up to spring bear season literally today. We have been open for 2 weeks and out putting bait out. Official Opener of 2026 Idaho Spring Bear Season April 1 is not only a Fool’s Day, but it is the day us hunters actually get to get out in the woods and hunt. Wait a minute… Seriously, though, it’s that time again; time to get out in the woods! With this super mild winter we had this year, the ungulate population survival rate should be through the roof. Spring Bear Hunt Drop Camps Available We are only 2 short months away from the “official” opening day of most of Idaho’s spring bear hunting seasons. I say “official” because in normal years, our area, although open to hunt, is normally not accessible yet due to deep snow conditions. Time to Apply for Formerly OTC Tags this Year in Idaho Seems the only constant in life is change and that adage seems to hold especially true in the hunting world. It seems to me that meetings are held and changes made “just because” every year and this year is no different! Beginning December 5, 2025, nonresidents who want to hunt elk and deer in formerly OTC units will need to apply for those tags. The application period runs from December 5 to 15, 2025 with results being posted in early January 2026. Comment (0) Comments are closed.
