My hunting partner got the call this morning say he drew the super hunt deer tag. Not looking for honey holes but open to suggestions on units to check out. Thanks.

Lot of pressure with this tag. I e thought about it (obviously) with what I would do. I think guys can get tags like this and get spread way too thin. Personally, there’s a few early hunts I’d look at since there is a legitimate chance at putting down a really big velvet buck but unless something I really couldn’t pass up showed I’d find one late unit and pour all my time into that. I know the two units I’d be in, in that order. Looks like it’s time for your buddy to put some serious time and work in. Good luck

It can be a curse! A friend's Dad drew the Super Combo several years back. Since he already had a couple 380 bulls mounted, that was bottom of the list. Hunted in 45 for deer, and never saw any big non-typical. Tried a day or two for antelope, but they don't excite him at all. Our schedules never connected for moose, so he didn't even go!! He was at the "work all week, make money while you can" stage and hunting is not a priority with him.

Lol then why in the hell did he apply? Karma will
get him in the end on his death bed, he won’t be wishing he worked more.

There are a few early units to look at, there are several late units to look at. You will need to put in a lot of time in the field. There are a handful of guys that are consistently getting theses tags now by putting in a lot of money and they spend a lot of time hunting. I know of two Bucks that went over 200” that were killed by super tag hunters last year, both hunters put a lot of time in and ended up killing late. Good luck on your Adventure.

I hear ya...couple years back I had the opportunity to get any deer, elk, antelope, bear or moose tag in the State of Idaho. Only person I told was Zeke...needed someone to bounce my thoughts off of and didn't want to muddy the waters with more than one extra opinion. Kept my mouth shut otherwise till after the hunt.

The Disabled Veterans Special Big Game Tag Program allows a qualified organization to apply for a special big game hunt tag on behalf of a disabled veteran. A qualified organization is defined as a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) or 501(c)(19) nonprofit organization, or a government agency, with a mission to afford opportunities, experiences and assistance to disabled veterans. The program is not limited to organizations in Idaho.
New law and rules are in place for these tags. Idaho Fish and Game makes five tags available each year. Tags are eligible for any hunt for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, black bear or mountain lion except controlled hunts with less than 5 tags are not eligible. Participants are exempt from licensing requirements and the tag is free. The tag is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Correct...the controlled hunt with less than 5 tag requirement was not in place when I was chosen. I hunted in an area that only gave out 1 tag. We actually had 3 moose hunters in camp...the regular tag holder, a super hunt tag holder and me.

Correct Hoby is the absolute best outfitter I've ever met. I called him just to get some basic info on the area and he offered to guide me for free and arranged a guy to film my hunt...first class guy!!!

My kids had a few of these SH tags years ago. Unless your buddy is retired, I recommend you pick the one unit you always wanted to hunt and go there and focus there alone. Almost too late for any of the early hunts as the benefit there is scouting up a bruiser. Lots of fine late hunts.
