Idaho hunting...which species?

[deerhunter_98520]

Thanks or all the input guys....basically everything you guys have said is what my cousin that lives there told me....I just have that feeling that if I don't buy the elk tag I'm gonna see a monster  and I like being prepared....I think if funds allow it I'll get an elk tag also...I'm not worried about burning a few hundred on a tag just in case

Your attitude is spot on with a out of state adventure! So much is weighed on tag prices. As long as the cost does not bother you ,you will have an awesome hunt! Rely on your skills and you will succeed anywhere in the World!!!!

That's what I'm goin for...a great out of state hunt....I'm staying there for free it just going to cost me gas/food/tags...my cousin has a wall tent setup for a month every year so I'm set with that.....I did my first elk camp this year just an hour away from my house and had an absolute blast and can't wait to do another

Anyone have any pics they could share of the unit?

If you can swing it, do it.  The price of a tag is small compared to the regrets of passing one up when you could have taken it.
 Don't forget the wolf tag!

Is there a limit on wolf tags?

Is there a limit on wolf tags?

I believe it is 5 per person/year

i live in 10a but 15,16,16a are all not far from home i hunted all of them alot this year and it is good deer hunting in all of them. i saw lots of bucks passed a ton of smaller bucks that i really regret passing trying to find a 140-150 inch buck. I could help point you in the right direction for deer but not elk at all. i saw no elk this year outside of 10a and that is saying something because i covered alot of ground on foot especially in 15. i saw a ton of elk sign in some places, some of it very fresh but i did not actually lay eyes on an elk in 15,16,16a. However i did not target elk at all in those units because in idaho you can only hunt elk in one unit(i chose 10a). What kind of hunting experience are you looking for?

Oh sure make it an even harder decision now  2 bucks would be nice

They also give you the second tag for $100 less than the first one. At least they did this year. Wouldn't be surprised if they did again next year. Weigh it against having to buy a Weyerhauser pass or two and it's not that bad.

If they do that again I might just have to get 2 tags instead of an elk tag
