Idaho Controlled Hunt Results?

I drew unit 18 elk

Using horses ? Be prepared to see more people than you have ever seen hunting. Had that elk tag once and was floored by how many people were there. I had multiple spots scouted and every spot had tons of people. Then ventured into wilderness and was passing people like I was walking in a city park. I was told to kill a elk in the first 3 days or it gets super tough. That was true we saw elk everyday the first 3 days and they were gone. Spotted lots in wilderness but they were so far down it was impossible to pack out and some you could t get horses near them.

Try getting off the trail systems and you will find yourself without company.  A little tip for ya

That's what I'm looking to do. Appreciate any help I can get. Looking at a few different options for access. They may not be so popular with the masses but should put me where I want to be.

Remember  tire chains for the truck and trailer to get out of there if your in there towards the end of season

I was far off trails . Every finger between heavens gate to cold springs had wall tents on them ! Every spot I scouted for elk had multiple people crawling over them. None of these spots had trails into them . We did find lots elk later in the season down in the wilderness portion , but the quality of Bulls was not there to be packing a 270" bull 3-4K feet straight up for days .
