Idaho elk hunting near WSU/ palouse zone 8,8A,11A

My advice is the same I would give to my 18yo self and pretty much what what I did at your age anyway.
Spend every chance you get working and then spend it on hunting. There are good animals in nearly every unit, pick one with about 10% success rate on bulls/bucks. Only about 10% of the hunters hunt much or know what they are doing anyway. If you want to see what kind of animals come out of an area, look up the local outfitters page, their pics will tell you. Find a dead end on a road and take off and get away from the road as far as you can. Don't be afraid to go alone and don't be afraid of walking miles back to the truck in the dark or spending a night out alone, it isn't that bad. Biggest one, don't be afraid of the dark, most people are. I hardly ever see a rig sitting at a trail head a couple hours after dark, just mine. You will do just fine.

The 3rd weekend of last Sept I was at a trapshoot at Troy-Deary Idaho. (25 miles east of Moscow) We listened to several bull scream at each other all weekend. The UofI has a "experimental forest" in the area. Not sure if they allow hunting but it would be worth a shot.

I can get you straightened out with how to get access to areas if you do buy a tag. Just have to shoot me a pm if you do. I'm unfortunately in this area of Idaho for another year. Did a lot of scouting/research and decided me and a buddy are going to elk hunt another area instead this year. Be prepared for lots of driving just to get to public land.
deerlick:
Get a pamhandle tag and drive a little farther. Well worth it.
