Hi All,
First thank you all for any assistance you all may provide. I have been on and off Rokslide for several years, and am finally going on my first hunt. It will be Archery, Elk, in Idaho, OTC. I am interested in designated wilderness areas and 36A seems to encompass two of these areas, Hemingway-Boulders and White Cloud Wilderness areas.
1) Are predators an issue? Grizzly presence?
2) Any general areas to avoid? (waste of time)
3) Access and/or trail head issues?
4) Other OTC units which I might want to look into?
5) Perhaps stupid question, but are there areas within where hunting is not allowed and where can I find this info out?
I decided on Wilderness areas to avoid other people, motor vehicles, and experience and witness some nature less affected by humans. I realize that this type of experience may be possible in non-wilderness areas but figured this would be a safe bet. I am definitely open to PM, e-mail or Phone so please do not hesitate to contact me!
I have spent a lot of time over the last several years researching, reading, watching... all of it! But as I still haven't actually been Elk hunting (or hunting at all) I am still open to any and all advice!
