Title: Idaho Unit 32 for deer?
Post by: Goshawk on October 17, 2016, 08:37:35 PM: Greetings,
My hunting partner of 28 years has up and moved to Idaho (meaning my daughter got married) two years ago and really wants to get out for a weekend with her dad; me.
Problem is from what little scouting I did, there's not much there in the way of good deer country that's not burnt or already a public stomping ground.
Any suggestions would be welcome. We have to play it close to home so area 32 is about it.
Thanks in advance,
Goshawk

I was very surprised at a couple of aspects regarding hunting in Idaho.
1. I never saw anyone off their lifted go-carts pushing brush.
2. Areas that were closed to ATV traffic were still full of those Jacked up go-carts or even pickup trucks running back and forth over the ridges. It might be just me, but the vast majority of those we saw hunting were road hunters only; quad or truck. I guess that's why we found this old guy so easily. A great way to get back in the field with my daughter.

Every time i thought i was alone some quad would come ripping by on some road i did not know about. If a guy can find some spots the quads arnt hitting usally a guy can do good.

All hunters must be in, or at least have possession of, a quad, side by side or "jacked up go cart"
