Jack Pine Flats is a good place to start.
When rattling over there is it more of a sit and wait game or move around and rattle? Tree stand all day or move like elk hunting?
Don't be intimidated by the country. I'm not sure if you are a whitetail hunter, but it is different than most think, especially in unit one
There is the costal brush of WA and OR and then there is Northern ID brush. North ID puts costal brush to shame.

since the family was unsucessful on the draws we are headed to northern Idaho for whitetail. I have always wanted to do this, and not drawing, this is the perfect time. I'm taking the boys and dad, should be fun. We are headed over to the Sandpoint area(Unit 1) for some scouting. If anyone has a general place(BLM, nat'l forest ,...) to start it would be much appreciated.This looks like it will be it since they shut down the woods for fire danger. No elk hunting.
Personally I do nothing but rattling. I'm so addicted to it that I don't even want to see a deer apart from it. It'll work if you are persistent.
read the link to the thread that 3nails posted. We rattle all the time for whitetails in north Idaho and what he provided is the best information I have seen. Forget the videos and just read what is in the thread
3nails. I read your thread but had some other questions if you didn't mind. Tried to pm you but your inbox is full.Thanks

Forget the videos and just read what is in the thread Yep this ^^^^I hunt 10a, and after reading his thread I decided I wanted to take a deer rattling. That year I took one of my better deer, using his tips. It was possibly one of the coolest things I've seen hunting. I will be doing it again this year.
3nails, your inbox is full again, so I'll post this here:Why do you soak your antlers? Is it to give better sound quality? Can you coat them with linseed oil and achieve the same affect?When do you use the buck roar tube? I looked up some stuff on the Ezee Wheeze, is that the one you use initially? I have a Primos Li'l Shotty, when would I use that call? When in your sequence do you use the doe bleat?Do you try to set up with a clearing or some other natural barrier on your downwind side?Thanks!
How long do you soak your antlers? Just put them in a bucket of water overnight? How often do you soak them? My rattling antlers are a couple years old, would thry be fine for a week or so if i soak them for a day?
I'm not much of a whitetail fan, but I would head mount that buck in a second. Awesome whitetail 3nails.

That was the whole purpose of starting the thread. I hope you rattle in a brute this year. I may be in 10a as well this year.
