I don't want to scare you off and you're more than welcome to Idaho by me, but the guys above are right about the winter kill. Not doubting F&G, but they're on the optimistic side by what I've seen. I've found plenty of 2-3 year old bucks, but the age classes above that seem to have taken a hit. I've seen 110+ bucks this summer and only two I'd peg at 4+ years. But by all means they are out there and you won't kill one if you don't come out. Plenty of rough country along the Salmon river that you can truck camp and day hike and if you're not too picky, will probably be pretty happy. And the comment about hunting the sage country is spot on.
We just want to hunt. The experience drives us more than anything. It will be a different style of hunting for us and something I've always wanted to try. I'm over 40 now so no time like the present.
