Welcome!  :tup: I am thinking about heading to Idaho this coming 2016 season, but I am not framiliar with the areas over there.

257Wby, I am thinking of signing up with GoHunt to make sense of some of the drawing odds/success ratios for Idaho. It is daunting trying to make sense of all of this when time off of work is so limited.

I like to hike in a ways and that gets rid of a few guys.  Funny thing, the lazy ones go in far too and leave their trash out there as well.  I get tired of hauling out other guys crap.  Depending on the terrain you want to hunt and your rifle, the east side gives a lot of options.  I'm usually off of Hwy 410 from the pass down to Naches - right or left side.  For this area it is spike or draw, unless you go a different weapon.  I was in cows every day until my cow tag went active, then only awkward long shots left.  I saw one spike during season, but before opening I seen multiples.  Where I was this year, I saw 5 spikes taken and it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

Dan, thanks for the insights - and a bigger thank you for hauling out other people's trash. I pick up trash whenever I see it while I am hiking and mountain biking. I often wonder who the people are that can witness the wilderness and then turn around and pollute it.
