out of state elk hunt help.

You know I've been hunting Wyoming for four years now.  It is a 10 hour drive to the Afton WY area from where I live in Spokane but worth the drive.  Plus you can buy doe/fawn antelope tags for $34.00.  I have yet to be drawn for a Bull tag so I put in my 500+ each year and if I dont get drawn I buy a leftover cow/calf tag for $300.00 and have killed Elk every year.

I live in unit 8A. If your interested give me a call.

last year the black flies were bad during the rifle elk season, I hunt in 10a, have you noticed the same thing this year? Or has the weather helped out yet? I'm hoping its cooler over there this year compared to last opener on the 10th, thanks.

In my limited experience, I think Idaho would be where I'd put my money.  That's the first place I ever heard bulls bugling, the first time I watched a spike bull tear up a tree, and the biggest bull I ever saw with a massive drop tine coming off his right side.  I love hunting that state. 

That being said, I was at a skull duggery place this afternoon and saw an absolute MONSTER that came out of central Oregon.  MONSTER. 

But Idaho tags are OTC, so that's pretty handy.

It's been really warm in Idaho until this week. We got our first frost this morning so i'm thinking the bug problem is soon to be a thing of the past.

Get on Facebook and check out Little Wood River Outfitters in Carey Idaho.
They are legit.

Idaho is where it's at. Great elk hunting and beautiful scenery. My buddy and I didn't bring one home last season but it wasn't from lack of effort or opportunity. We saw a few bulls that were true giants and had a bunch of small bulls running around. The bulls bugled all day if you stayed on them and all night long. It was awesome! It was steep terrain and those elk could make it a long ways in about 5 minutes. We are going back for 2014. Hopefully coming back with some meat and horns! Do your homework. Look at the IDFG website and check hunter success and percentages. Check out the OTC units. There are quite a few. Make sure you buy the right tag( A tag and B tag) also in some units you can go back with a rifle in late season and shoot a cow.
