so I was just looking at the elk tags. Can someone give me some info on lolo zone. good or bad area for elk.

Used to be the bees knees for elk but due to predators and overgrown habitat the herd there is suffering

I was wondering of the herds did with the wolf's in that area.

Me, my dad and father in law heading to unit 22 for elk.  First time hunting in Idaho for all 3 of us.

My buddy and I are heading to SE Idaho this year. We've never hunted Idaho before.

We are planning on heading over there in a few weeks to go check out the area and get a feel for the place. Gonna be a loooooong drive.

I wouldn't waste the time or money on a out of state tag for the Lolo zone.  It will be many years, if ever, before that area will be like it was in the glory days. A successful hunt would be just seeing a bull!

Harvest reports from last year look decent

147 elk were killed in units 10 and 12 in the 2 months its open for hunting.   That's on par with what its been like since 2000.  If I was buying a out of state tag, I would look to the more productive units.  Check out the Panhandle or Dworshak units. 
Not saying it cant be done, but if you have never stepped foot in that country, finding an elk will be very tough.  Its rugged, remote, and the elk that are there are very hard to locate.  Think of it like an eastside Washington any elk unit.  Sure a few guys get bulls every year, but how many more don't even see an elk.

We are packing into the fc this year.

I struck out on Idaho moose so I plan on going for deer or elk since I have the license.  The fly in hunts to the Frank Church are very popular so be prepared for company.  The deer hunts are slam dunk if going late but elk is another story.  Good Luck!

it would be a late hunt you have to draw for in nov which would be fun with some snow.. We are getting it planned for next year.
