You know what did it for me? 

There are more bulls shot north of Coeur d'Alene than the whole eastside of the cascades combined. 

I don't know how many September's I will get to hunt so I am going to give myself the best odds I can.

That's impossible wolves have decreased Idaho's elk population to a point where they are almost extinct.

And your wrong about the bull harvest.. but its close.

Sarcasm?  Elk are plentiful in north and north central Idaho...puts WA to shame.

I couldn't even start to imagine what the Lolo was like with 17k elk in there  :yike:

2016
WDFW Districts  1-8                        1244 Bulls
IDFG Elk unit     1,2,3,4,4A              1423 Bulls     

It's possible that I fat fingered a number though.         

2017 was 1239 ID to 1283 WA... so I would agree northern Idaho is looking pretty good.

and total sarcasm about wolves but its what everyone and their mom is blaming for population declines.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

How much did your success rate go up?
Infinity  :chuckle: :chuckle:

I was 0-6 in Washington, with 2 opportunities.  Last year was my first year in Idaho and I popped my cherry.

Hmmm I’m 3-1. Wife is 3-0. I’ve lost count with opportunities. Plus ours have all been westside. So yea their branched bulls. Have fun in Idaho.

Are you hunting in 506?  I understand the bulls are thick in there.

Not 506.
