5 December Idaho’s Hunting Season 2025 is Wrapping Up, Time to Get Serious About Predator Hunting December 5, 2025By Monica Oliver Announcements, General Information, Guided Hunts Bear Hunts, Bobcat Hunt, Lion Hunts, Mountain Lion Hunts, Predator Hunt, Predator Hunts, Wolf Hunts 0 Finally! We got all this deer and elk hunting out of the way and now it is time to get serious about what really matters…Predator Hunting! As much as we truly love to pursue big elk and big deer, it seems our interests have morphed over the years to truly enjoying the pursuit of large predators: Mountain lions, Wolves, Bears and Bobcats. Throw in a few foxes and coyotes during your winter hunting and now it feels like you have really done something to actually help deer and elk populations prosper.It is my opinion, and may be contrary to others, that Central Idaho is truly an anomaly in what actually affects ungulate populations the most. In most states, it is verifiably auto/wildlife conflicts that affect the population. It is sincerely my opinion that weather and predators are what negatively affect the wildlife populations in Central Idaho, therefore it is incumbent upon all sportsman to do there best to contribute to controlling predators. Weather is literally out of our control, but we can pursue predators!So, if you find yourself with some spare time and desire this winter, contact us about the idea of pursuing predators in Central Idaho.Happy Hunting!

Winter Book Review: Elmer Keith’s Big Game Hunting Over much of the country we’re in the dead of winter now, with cold winds, deep snow, and bitter people to deal with. Next hunting season feels so far away. I can think of no better approach to stay focused on hunting and cope with nasty winter weather than to find a warm, quiet place and get absorbed in some good hunting literature; and, no other hunting book is more fitting to the Northern Rocky Mountain region than Elmer Keith’s Big Game Hunting. A Couple Spots Still Left for this Spring Bear Season The weather has been unseasonably warm and dry this year and the water level on the creek has been pretty steady helping us avoid the radical highs of a “normal” spring runoff, bears are active, and we got ‘em on camera.

Trophy Species Application Season Opens Up Today April 1st April 1st is one of my favorite times of year because it signifies the “official” opener of Idaho’s spring bear season. It is one our favorite seasons as we are forced to “get off the couch” and into the saddle of some very fine Darling Creek Livestock. We are incredibly proud of the horses and mules we use and raise. We really look forward to getting out and using them and baiting for spring bears is a very good excuse to do that as well as a way to start our young stock by packing. Comment (0)
