Middle fork zones Idaho elk hunts ?

[hirshey]

I've seen elk each year, but no bulls worth the out of state tag fees.. and usually tremendous distances from trail systems (let alone trailheads!). They've generally been in groups of 4-8 and are always moving. I think I missed the "good old days", unless filling a wolf tag is your picture of the "good old days". Had them howl for about 2 hours just before dawn this last season, and two separate evenings the season prior. They definitely have a presence there.

Pretty sure that they sent a professional hunter into unit 26 last December. If I remember correctly, so don't quote me on this, he was in for 30+ days or so but only got 9. In conclusion there was talk of possibly using bait in the future. Not sure if anything will come of that but at least its on the radar. With successful control efforts,  it may have a significant positive impact in a reasonably short amount of time.

Actionshooter,
I have seen a lot more than 200 deer in a day in there.  The last year I was in there there were 40 deer on the ridge every morning across from my spike camp.

First year was 97 last time was 07 I think.  I still have friends that fly in every year and still see a ton of deer and and some elk.  What strip do you fly into?  PM me if you don't won't to say.

What strip are you flying into?
