Frigid Ridge | Idaho High Country Mule Deer

[@stanleybuck4195]

Looks like a really challenging hunt. What a steep climb. Congratulations.

[@InclineOutdoors]

It definitely was challenging, but worth it! Thanks for watching and for the kind words.

[@rolandatc9197]

Wow! Taking my boys out to Idaho for our first muley hunt in a few weeks. This gets me so fired up! Can’t fricking wait! Great video. Congrats on a couple dandy bucks.

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks! It was quite an adventure. Wish you guys success on your Idaho hunt!

[@jeremytoft9021]

One of my favorite strips to hunt, I've camped at the second camp. Looks like you took the hard way up for sure, but very typical for that place.... you earn every inch. Congrats on two nice bucks. Always a fun ride in and out too.

[@TheDerick435]

Great video! The frank is the gnarliest country I’ve ever hunted. Makes region H look like the bunny hill!

[@pokerman9108]

I grew up hunting the frank. only place I hunt every year. it's changed a lot over the years. most of it is burned now. I remember in the 90's it was amazing elk and deer hunting. pre wolves...

[@trihall2273]

Thank you very much🎉🎉🎉

[@455rockett]

When I was young always had to go to the top, back packs over 100 lbs, mostly water, cause there was none up high , really enjoyed your video

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! It definitely helped having snow to melt. It’s a slow process but beat packing a ton of water in for sure

[@455rockett]

@@InclineOutdoors your sure welcome, ya water is a game changer, so many folks get dehydrated, take the fun out of a good time hunting

[@Jay-ku3ur]

You guys killed a couple of bruisers! Awesome! What a tough hunt, way to get it done. Thanks for sharing!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mountainridgeoutdoors6800]

Great job. Congratulations. Frank is no joke..

[@razedbywolves8505]

solid filming and hard work for some very decent bucks, nice work guys!

[@rperkins637]

Great Trip, Awesome hunt in very tough country. The unforgiving Frank, Great Job!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and for your kind words! That country is a challenge for sure. High level fun!

[@Outdoorswithcliff]

Dang I hunted near there last year but different air strip. I only stayed in 6 nights but I did see a nice buck one night. Nice job through and through

[@ToddCliftUSMC]

Great video, love that country!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! It’s a special place for sure!

[@a.j.2670]

Great video, good job guys!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!

[@Paul-i2s]

Enjoyed the great hunt. Great shot just a good video You have a new subscriber. Congrats

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks! It was a very memorable hunt for sure! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@hookandreelco]

Such a dope trip! Would love to do something similar to this one day!

[@kennycoye3907]

Was that Pete the pilot!!!!😅 Been there alot!! Shot some good bucks out of there!!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Different pilot. Definitely earn them in this country!

[@wynott5128]

What an epic adventure! That’s how it’s done.

[@bumpsidetreasures]

Man, that was some cool stuff... typical for the area, work your butt off.. but it's the whole experience that's the trophy..good work guys! And great footage. I was so confused after that shot was low, I was wondering if you would take the second shot or not but glad you did.

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! It was an adventure for sure and high quality fun!

[@kevinsatterwhite536]

I think on the first shot on the second deer, you hit something close to you. I saw what looked like part of a tree limb or something fly into camera view on the shot.

[@InclineOutdoors]

Yeah we have seen that in the video too. It’s possible. It’s tough to say though. The radial muzzle brake on that rifle makes for quite the little explosion of debris when you are shooting prone, so it’s difficult to know for sure. But It sure seems I had to have hit something to be that far off.

[@Just_Samson]

Great vid.

[@jakeoly5109]

Heck yeah hes a stud! Im heading down to the Selway in early November. Cant wait

[@InclineOutdoors]

That should be a great trip!

[@jakeoly5109]

@@InclineOutdoors i hope so! I made the mistake of heading down there in late September and there were so many people that it seemed like the deer and elk took off. Hoping for a lot more deer on this go round.

[@SchylerGorman]

@@jakeoly5109any luck going later in the year to the Selway? I am headed there this year

[@jakeoly5109]

@@SchylerGorman actually, sadly I never made it down there this year. Got caught up in a career change that kept my hunting local. Had a buddy go down there and said he saw a ton of wolf tracks(filled a wolf tag) but nothing much for elk. Plenty of does off of the main roads but decent bucks will probably require some hiking.

[@jakeoly5109]

@@SchylerGorman good luck to you as you go down there. Im hoping to get a week or two down there in 2025 now that everything career wise has settled down.

[@scooterb8470]

Looks like that miss on the second deer did indeed hit something. You can see debris flying through the camera view.

[@InclineOutdoors]

Yeah, that's the conclusion we have come to as well.

[@ktmkaratechips]

The first shot on the second buck got deflected closer to the muzzle for sure. I hunted out of that strip for elk in ‘20. I did see but one doe in 8 days. Did you guys end up real far from the strip? I was about 3 miles from it at the most

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Definitely had a rock solid rest, so it had to be something. It was a great place! We only saw the one herd of elk, and it took a couple days to find the areas that held a few deer/bucks. We were never super far from the strip as the crow flies, but obviously in that country it’s tough going to put a lot of miles in. Were you successful on your elk hunt?

[@ktmkaratechips]

@@InclineOutdoors yeah you can see debris fly up in the foreground. I was solo and had aspirations of going way deeper but that place kicked my butt. Very steep and rough ground. I was successful and shot the only bull I saw that week. Watching your vid brought back all the memories lol. Hard hard pack out. Good work in there. I can appreciate the work that the camera doesn’t do justice!

[@Passaf1st]

​@@InclineOutdoors that missed shot wasn't your mistake at all, it was just one of those sneaky interdimensional branches!!!

[@rclouse79]

Epic video, great job! What does a plane ticket for a trip like that cost?

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks! Cost depends on where you are going. If you split it with a buddy it will end up being $400-$700 each. The plane has an hourly rate they charge. I think it’s around $550/hr

[@Smootheroperator]

Good video guys

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@jeffbitton1836]

Great stuff - there is just something special about hunting mule deer in the snow.

[@InclineOutdoors]

It was a great place and a great trip. Thanks for watching!

[@KoaPennock]

dang and that 2nd buck! nice shot (second time around)

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! It was a great trip

[@hillclimbr154]

That's such a great place! Congrats on the deer up there that hike is no joke lol. Did you see any sheep up there?

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks! We didn’t see any, but they were around. Another guy getting picked up the same day as us killed a nice ram in there.

[@PNWild]

fun hunt guys!!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Hey thanks for watching! Always enjoy watching your hunts as well!

[@NotchingTags]

awesome trip!

[@InclineOutdoors]

It was!

[@justindyck9705]

Congrats on a hard earned successful hunt! Did you guys get two whole bucks and all your gear down in on trip?!

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks and thanks for watching. Yes we did. We boned out all the meat and took the hide, flesh, and lower jaw off the skulls. It was a very heavy pack out still.

[@laoutdoors2039]

Wow nice How far was the shot?

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! First buck was 600. Second one was 500

[@sekaf4125]

How do you pack out all the meat, rack when it looks like you’re already full of gear?

[@InclineOutdoors]

Meat is boned out and goes in a large game bag that fits between the pack and frame. We came in weighing about 60 lbs each. Ate most all the food we came in with and didn’t take much water down. Don’t know exactly what the packs weighed coming out but it was very heavy. Probably 110-120 lbs.

[@nickkolar8183]

Man I love the frank.

[@meric-bo-olson2115]

Good job boyz! 🎯

[@InclineOutdoors]

Thanks Bo! 👍

[@bobbellew9240]

2 nice mature bucks.

[@KoaPennock]

sweet buck 16:16

[@travis6075]

I’ll be there in November. Place has grabbed ahold of me and won’t let go.

[@InclineOutdoors]

It can have that effect! We Went back in the spring for bear just to make sure we got back. It just goes to show that the adventure and experience can mean as much or more than the harvest. Hope you have all 3 in November!

[@mikethetreeguy]

Nice work , but that far for that buck ?? Really ?? Im in California , i killed a 20.5 inch blacktail 30 minutes crom my truck . Still , hard work pays off !! Peace !

[@InclineOutdoors]

We take what the mountains give us. We loved this hunt and these bucks are the culmination of pure effort=reward. Honestly the video doesn't really do them justice. Hope you have a great season this year!

[@adammenke229]

No way you carried all the meat out with gear on 1 trip I've tried packs get to be 150lbs

[@InclineOutdoors]

We definitely carried out all the meat. Boned out plus 50 lbs of gear. Packs were probably 120# or so and very full.

[@wayneknack6657]

GOOD JOB, You earned those buck for sure!@@InclineOutdoors

[@Ps2352]

Miserable. This is why I took up archery. But each to his own.

[@fishon3586]

the big empty

[@InclineOutdoors]

Pretty great to still be able to go hunt somewhere for a week and not see another person!
