Big Game Hunting > Out Of State Hunting
Idaho deer question
2MANY:
In the past you have hired an outfitter and then returned the next year DYI.
Perhaps that's a good way to go.

I’d beg to differ, I think a lot of units will almost exclusively be 2nd-5th choices

I think it'll just depend on what unit you're going for. I'm sure some whitetail tags will fall in that range.

Tbob the IDFG website has quite a bit of useful information as far as harvest and hunter numbers go. I would start there, find some units that look promising to you then get on Onx or Google earth. Check out the topography, road systems or lack thereof and see if it looks like a good match for the style of hunting you'll be doing. Do you want steep and deep or do you want something more accessible. I've never hunted 39 but I've heard plenty of stories, 9070 modern hunters last year is pretty telling. 28 can be a decent hunt but it is big, steep country. Just depends what you're after. Not many people are going to recommend a unit that they actually like with tags being harder to get these days, I'd rely on your own research and send it :twocents:

It depends on how many people are putting in for the draw and their approach to the draw. I’d tend to think most will get their 2-5 options, if they are shooting for low tag allocations across the board. I tend to think most guys will be trying to go their usual units? I know I am planning on it.
