So far thats what most people are telling me....just talked to my cuz that lives over there and they set up a big wall tent every year for 2weeks...so i think thats gonna be my choice...im gonna save up and suprise my old man witha tag also...hes my huntin partner...hes taken numerous days off of work to help me pack out animals...i just call his boss and tell him i got one down and send  few packs of steaks back to work  as a thank you....now its my turn to repay him all the years hes been there for me

I hear the wolves ate all the elk in Idaho, maybe try North River or Winston creek...(?)

If you can get a hold of a tag in Oregon, you should have a hunt of a life time. I would lean toward Idaho, better opportunity to hunt modern if that is what you are after.

Hunt Idaho. Buy a wolf tag too - they're cheap, as they should be.  An area I used to hunt in ID in the Frank Church wilderness had many many elk and lots of moose.  Last I was in there it wasn't the same - lots of wolf sign, very little elk sign and virtually no moose sign.  Haven't been back for a while.  That said, there are still many areas that are very good with good elk numbers.  As someone else previously said, just keep away from the heavy wolf areas.  BTW, Oregon has wolves too - at least in the NW.
