    Idaho Unit 48 Archery Elk Help

    I grew up south of there and used to camp off Deer Creek road. It goes all the way to the back of the unit and there are canyons off each side of the main road that have plenty of camping/trailhead opportunities. Never hunted that unit but I imagine you will have plenty of competition.

    Idaho Panhandle Rifle Season - Deep Timber and creeks vs High Country?

    I'm scouting new territory this year for rifle season, last year with pre-season scouting and 6 days out hunting I saw 1 spike and otherwise saw more hunters than cow elk. I'll be scouting every weekend until opening day Oct. 10th. I have the option of focusing on going deeper into the timber in...

    Idaho Elk unit 21

    Hi Don, I don't know that unit specifically but have spent a fair amount of time a bit south of there between Stanley and Challis. My half-educated guess is that it is fairly open timber with pockets of thicker trees and underbrush but would expect lots of open ground. I imagine you'll be...

    To Pee or Not to Pee

    Does anyone use a container for urine during spot and stalk or other types of hunting? After not hydrating enough Saturday for the Elk opener I overcompensated yesterday and realized I was probably leaving more scent in my hunting area than I wanted to. I tried to do most business at the...

    Missed elk shot, go back or elsewhere?

    Thanks for all the answers! I got back in there yesterday. Didn't get a visual but may have spooked some in the thick timber. Too much undergrowth to go in without busting every branch. Did see deer both days in there still at least, need to fill that tag also. The roads all around the place...

I got my father in law onto a spike first thing but he missed the shot. Is this spot blown?There is more sign in this area than anywhere else we covered the rest of...

    YouTube Find: Really well done 2015 DIY Idaho Archery Elk Hunt Video

    I haven't seen this video shared on the forum. Looks like these guys had a great hunt, not sure where in Idaho but thick cover. Definitely inspires me to take the video camera along this year. https://youtu.be/lTY8XXe4aDo

    Late Idaho Whitetail hunt?

    My first Idaho white tail came in the third year when we got tired of cutting trail through the national forest and drove the farmland until we spotted a farmer out working on a tractor. Waved him down and got permission to hunt his 1600 acres for FREE. We ran into a neighbor just as we spotted...

    Idaho Unit 3

    Saw lots of road traffic and parked trucks in unit 3 last year and would say there's a fair amount of pressure. Only ran into another hunter in the woods one time though. You can Google Earth scout and pick less obvious entry points to some good terrain. We hunted steeper and further in than...
