I drew the unit 31 Rifle Bull tag that runs October 15-November 8. I have never hunted Idaho before and was wondering if anyone had any insight to the quality of bulls found in the unit, and any elk behavior when the get pressure/ weather?

I am planning on going the last week of November to avoid the general deer season and give me time to hunt my Oregon elk tag.

Look in deep canyons in steep country. Honestly the first week of November will be a good time to find big bulls. They will be looking for feed that time of year. I would focus on glassing as much as possible into big drainages to find bulls out feeding. They will feed the first hour or two of daylight and the last couple if it’s cold which it should be. Look for areas where they can have access to brush to feed on and water nearby.
