McCall zone idaho elk.
« on: January 12, 2017, 11:57:21 AM »
Starting to plan for an archery hunt this September.  This is one zone we are looking at possibly.  Anyone with any past experience in the area?

I have a few good starting points if you'd be willing to make a scouting trip...
Will you be making a scouting trip?

I'm also looking for a new area for archery, one thing I recall about that area is a couple guys bought a crap load of land by McCall and no longer allow hunting on it.  Can't remember the facts, someone else might.  Never been to McCall but I've heard it's very beautiful.

My grandpa had a cabin in Cascade growing up.  I know the area fairly well and, depending on the zone boundaries, I have some great  areas that would be fun to get into during archery.  Let me know if you're interested and I'll PM you some spots to start your scouting.

Not sure I understand the rules.  All all 4 units open?  No hunting on national forest?  I'm confused.

That is only for the early season damage control hunts.  I hunted McCall last year.  Send me a PM if interested.
