Idaho's its a brand new year January bs thread

I cannot believe it is almost a new year. A lot of things have happened this year. Some good some not so good. I have had a near fatal motorcycle accident and five surgeries this year. Quite possibly won't ever heal completely from the accident either. On the better side of the year we found out we are having a baby boy that is due any day.

I am looking forward to see what the new year has in store for us. Happy new year everyone.

Happy New Year's Eve Idaho! Hoping 2015 kicks ***... 2014 was a crazy year.


Micah - sorry as the new guy here, what kind of motorcycle do you ride? Sorry to hear about your crash, crashing on a motorcycle is one of my least fun activities, have been through 3 in the past 4 years so I can sympathize. Also congrats on the baby on the way.

Eric. I ride a sportster but that day my mom asked if I wanted to take her 2014 anniversary edition road king out. It was the first time I had taken it for a ride. A guy pulled out in front of me when I was doing 50mph and all I had time to do was aim for the hoof of the van. I flew about 200ft before I even touched ground and woke up all casted up In the hospital.

**** man sounds nasty, glad you are ok. I hardly ride on the street. Most of my miles are race track miles on the motorcycle as are all 3 of my wrecks, cars are crazy on the streets and truly will never look for us two wheeled folks. Hopefully it doesn't discourage you from continuing to ride.

Nope not at all I plan on still riding. I am rebuilding my dirt bike this winter. And once I feel better I will ride on the street again as well

Sounds good, Micah. Maybe I can swing a quick weekend trip up there during hunting season if I'm caught up with my classes.

BTW, I do believe CDA is part of the "Special Unit" area for the three extra turkey tags. Look at pages 24 and 26 of the current Turkey regulations. You folks up in Units 1, 2, 3, and 5 can take up to five turkeys per year due to the "Special Unit" tags.

Jealous? Me? Uh...YES!

I haven't looked Craig. I am not much into wild turkey too dry and tough. Although I do plan on smoking one this year and see how that is. I can sit in a lawn chair at my dads and easily pluck one off with a stick if I wanted to. They are pests there.

Eric no I am not. I don't have TV at the house we just have Netflix and DVDs lol. I would never get anything done if I had TV.
