Hey folks, so my wife drew the unit 42 late rifle elk hunt. It is open from October 15th - November 24th. We live in Boise, so we're going to get down there several times, but wondering if any of the Hunt WA homies have hunted deer/elk in here during this time frame and can maybe point us in the right direction to find the bulls this time of year.

I've been on a hand full of elk hunts, but it's always been September archery. I figure the rut will be about done when we are able to get out to put a tag on one -- will the bulls be running back to their summer hidey holes post-rut if the snow doesn't show up and push them down? I don't think there will be an immense amount of pressure, but, there will be some pressure. The unit is draw only for elk, but there are still a handful of people that will be out chasing the elk, not to mention you ~could~ should a 2pt max mulie in there...

Don't want to waste the time and money to scout this summer if they're not really going to be in the general vicinity I find them. I can just show up a few days early before the hunt to get extra time in, but, I'm a planner  :chuckle:

No one has been in 42 before?  :tung:

Trying to get your hand held so badly you go to a different states hunting forum to increase your odds of a onX waypoint to a bedded elk? 😂

If you dont get any info here you may want to try monster mulies. They cover all states and critters.

Phildo has been an active member for several years and recently moved to Boise. Wish I had some info for him. Wishing him luck on his wife’s hunt.
