I posted this same thread over on the Elk forum as we haven't made our minds up if were going Deer or Elk hunting yet.
My hunting buddy and I are looking for a first week in November OTC rifle hunt in Idaho. We both have tags in Oregon thru the 28th of October so the plan is to hunt round two in Idaho. We have no experience hunting in Idaho, but are fairly experienced backcountry hunters. Our biggest concerns are finding an area were their are Elk or Deer, excessive snow (some is great!) and crowds of hunters.
The zones we are looking at are Selway, Middle Fork and Salmon if we do an Elk hunt. Or if we decide to go the Mule Deer route we are considering 16a, 17, 19 and 20.
At this point we don't want to fly into the Church or anything too crazy our first year. We would rather hike in somewhere 5-10 miles and set up our tipi tent and stove and explore the surrounding areas for a week or ten days.
At this point the Salmon River breaks look interesting, Unit 20 and 20a, but we really have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
