Anybody ever hunted the forked-horn only general season in southwest Idaho? I don't think that we would ever do it, but we were driving through last week and I wondered if it got much pressure.

I would appreciate it if anybody can satisfy my curiousity. Thanks.

I participated in this hunt once quite a few years back. Only time I've ever feared for my life while hunting. Also found a poor little three point wounded and dying. Too say this hunt sucked would be a huge freaking understatement. Can't imagine it's gotten any better since.
 
I know a lot of people that hunt the Owyhees. There are a lot of forked horns out there and some big ones at that, but like was said there are a lot of hunters to go with the deer. If you want to shoot a little forked horn there is a pretty high success rate. Just wear your bullet proof vest...

support your local guzzlers. OHA life member,lapine oregon-----i have hunted it several times on a nonresident tag. i have brought home 2yr old bucks every time but one. in 2005 i taged a 4yr old 3x2 with eye gaurds 22" spread. where we hunted some years you will never see another deer hunter in the field, just road hunters passing by. as a meat hunt on years with no good drawings it is a good hunt for exercise and field time. i have seen very nice bull elk and big bucks on this tag and in 2005 the largest buck in idaho was in our hunt area, still breathing as far as i know. my uncle has been hunting muledeer for over 50 years and he said it was the largest buck he had ever seen. that is saying a lot, they hunted nevada in it's hayday and he has killed bucks over 200". if someone draws the unit 40 big buck tag, contact me privately, i'll give exact location to the right hunter
