I’m in what most would consider the “Post Season Planning Phase.” For a few years now I’ve considered going on an out of state rifle whitetail hunt (particularly in n Idaho). Living I nw Montana it puts me close enough to get in a scouting/shed hunting trip before hand. My vision for this is a typical mtn whitetail hunt as this is how I’ve always hunted them. After looking at season dates and maps I was able to narrow it down to Unit 1. I’d be curious to here some feedback as I was also considering Unit 4 but the season dates in that unit don’t seem as appealing to me. I’d also be interested in your guys experience with the n Idaho whitetails. I’ve noticed in Montana all my productive whitetail hunting is between 3,600-4,400ft, hunting secluded cuts near cr bottoms or glassing previously burned drainages. I tend to avoid the high grizzly density areas here in Montana and hunt the areas with fewer bears. Going into n Idaho I understand there’s grizzlys and truly don’t mind hunting around them but would prefer to stay away from the areas where you cut new tracks on the daily. I would like to think n Idaho would be very similar to hunting in nw Montana but have learned to always expect the unexpected.
