thinking of idaho
« on: December 04, 2010, 03:55:12 PM »
So me  my bro and buddy are wanting to hunt  idaho next year. None of use have been there so were not real sure of what units to scout. What are some good units for mulies. Also how late could we wait to buy our tags and license. Ive got the $ now but the other two have to wait till tax time. Thanks

It used to depend on where you were going. But now, I think there are left over tags all over the place since they raised their rates!!!

There are many good places in ID for mulies. You'll get some good responses here!

Lots of good info on ID F&G web site.

I would look at the South portion of the state but the good areas are draw only and receive a lot of pressure. Way up north are some lesser hunted areas for mulies ( hint hint)

Game Biologists are a great resource to use. I would start calling in the next few months :twocents:


ID is close enough to scout over the Summer

Yeah to all that.  Especially the way up north part.

The panhandle units offer both Mule deer and Whitetail.  Good size on both.  Just a thought.  We used to hunt out of Pritchard.  Whitetails in the low country, Muleys up higher. 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Look at Unit 76 down by Montpelier in the SE corner.  Saw quite a few Washingtonians down there when I hunted it.  LOTS of public land for camping and hunting.  Big muley country (7000-9000 ft).

thanks for the info guys. Ive been on idaho f&g alot since we've decided to do this. There's so many units there just thought i would ask. One more question in the harvest statistics search  where you put in the number what do they mean (range 0-100  mean 58.6) Ive been using the mean # . What is the mean #.
