In the month leading up to the Idaho results coming out, me and my buddy have had a lot of discussions and some good training hikes about what would happen if one of us were lucky enough to draw on our first year putting in, but it was all sort of a pie in the sky...
Most on this forum can probably relate to the feeling we had when we both found that we had drawn tags for the early hunt in unit 26. Unbelievable for one first try, let alone two on a non-party submission. Needless to say we have our work cut out for us to make this trip work with two shooters.
Anyway, we're curious if any members out there have experience on Big Creek for that early hunt, and would be willing to share anything that may help us out. Things like advice for methods of spotting them, what time of year the hunt is the best (Aug. 30 to Oct. 13, but we only get one plane ticket in for about 10 days), and what to avoid along the way.
Thank you ahead of time.
