Wolves on the Run!
December 1st, 2011 by Ross
Hunting wolves in the lower 48 is a relatively new sport. So just like everyone else that lives in Idaho I decided I was going to give it a try and see if I could make it happen. After a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family I headed to the mountains that Saturday to see if I could find a wolf. With some fresh snow on the ground we drove some back roads looking for tracks. 12 miles up the road we found where 2 wolves had crossed the road, the tracks looked fresh so we wasted no time hitting the trail. The plan was to follow the tracks as far as we could or until we could see a little more ground and try calling one into our calls.
Cold Weather Hunting!
November 21st, 2011 by Ross
This last weekend a buddy of mine asked me to help him out with his mule deer hunt in Southern Idaho. I knew we would be hunting in cold/snowy conditions, so I went through my gear the night before deciding what items I was going to wear for the hunt. I knew the plan for the hunt was to drive some 4 wheel drive roads and hike to high vantage points to glass, so layering was going to be key.
We shall call him Seymour!
November 1st, 2011 by RossI jump at all opportunities to help others with their hunts, I will also take any excuse to head to the mountains. This past weekend I had the opportunity to hunt with one of my dads good friends Karl in the Salmon River Breaks in Idaho for mule deer.
My dad and I left after work on Friday and headed to Karl’s cabin, a long drive had us pulling in to the cabin just in time to make a plan for the next morning and crawl into bed. The next morning we were up before daylight driving few miles to the bottom of the large canyon were we were going to be hunting that morning. To get to the vantage point we wanted to glass from it required a steep uphill hike to a knob in the center of the canyon were we could look in all directions.
With open steep hillsides quality optics are a must!
Right off the bat we spotted a good looking framed buck but a closer look through the spotting scope showed he was just a massive two point, after spotting the two point we settled in and started picking apart the hillsides. After a while deer started emerging from every brush pocket. We saw a number of different bucks but nothing that caught our interest. After an hour or two of glassing we decided to move farther up the draw and try to spot some deer that may have been out of sight. From our new vantage point I spotted a nice buck bedded with some does. A closer look through the spotting scope again showed he was just a decent 3×4…we decided to call him Thursday because Thursday was the last day of the hunt and if we couldn’t find what we were looking for he would work for the last day.
Here is the buck we called Thursday!
Idaho Mule Deer
October 26th, 2011 by Ross
Brian was wearing C4E's Switchback Pant and the Merino 190 1/4 Zip Top when he harvested this great Idaho buck!
Brian harvested this great mule deer this rifle season in Idaho…Thanks for letting us post your pictures and story!
I was also lucky to be able to tag out this weekend. Saturday morning I glassed this buck across the canyon and immediately knew he was worth a closer look. After getting the spotter settled on him, it didn’t take me long to realize he was the buck I was after. I waited for the thermals to shift up-canyon and closed the distance. At 345 yards, I was in a position where I couldn’t get any closer without risking a blown stalk, so I settled in and waited for him to get out of his bed. After 25 minutes he was still bedded, but the winds started swirling and other deer in the area became a little skittish, so I waited for the next break in the breeze and touched off a good shot. With good forks and an outside spread of 27 inches, he’s my best buck to-date.
Thanks again for letting us use you pictures and story!
More Core4Element Success

Lance put this lucky hunter on a great bull!
This email came from Lance Roylance! Here’s what Lance has to say about Core4Element:
I have been an avid hunter my entire life. I love the cool crisp mornings and the bright colors along with extreme changes in the weather. What I don’t like is not having the right gear to hold up to my harsh addictions. I have been guiding hunters for a few years now and finally decided to retire my trusty old coat and pants and replace them with the CORE4ELEMENT Jacket and Pant.
I can honestly say at this point, I’m very happy with the outcome
After a three day hunt my hunter (Tom) and I harvested this amazing bull.
I just wanted to say thanks for a great product at an affordable price!
