Go visit unit 10 before making your decision. Big difference between how it looks on paper and seeing it in person.
So a buddy I deployed with told me that Idaho gives disabled vets a pretty big discount of licenses and tags, I did some research and sent in the necessary paperwork and I’m all set to go for next year. I think I’m going to choose unit 10 based off idfg statistics it looks pretty good. Any opinions on if that’s a good unit or where else I should try would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone out there.

It is now going to be cheaper for you to hunt ID than your home state!I don't know a lot about unit 10 but I do know the elk were decimated when the wolves were introduced sometime after 1996. Pretty sure F&G has recently reduced wolf numbers so the unit may be on the rebound.You may want to plan a scouting spring bear hunt to see what you think of the area. I would also apply for the elk permit drawing hunts to see if you can draw a special elk tag and have a better chance of harvesting a Bull. And don't forget to buy a wolf tag.

Yes I believe all units are over the counter bear tags. In fact in some units, including unit 10, you can get a 2nd bear tag. Consult the regs to verify. You can also use bait in many units. Here's a pic from my last bear hunt. (Dates are accurate.) Be warned do not take naps while hunting with the windows down on the truck.
