Alright, a buddy and i are going to try our hand in idaho next year. Ive been using onx and google earth and have a few spots tagged. My question is how high will elk go in mid to late october? I know snow is almost guaranteed at 9000 ft, and hunting pressure plays a big factor also. A spot i am really liking has everything i am looking for but the bottom of canyon is 8000 ft. Camp location is 9000. Oh, one more thing to add. We will also have deer tags. Would mule deer be at those elevations too? Thank you for responses.
