Title: Info on Idaho elk hunting
Post by: Mark Youngblood on November 11, 2018, 02:35:49 PM: I have elk hunted for many years and would like to see some new country. I know Idaho has allot of elk and it’s my understanding they issue a good number of tags. I will start my research online but if someone has allot of expierence over there and might share some info I would greatly appreciate it.

One exception would be the early rifle season out by the lava beds. Pretty sure that one doesn't have a quota but it's not the typical elk hunt. Probably one of the best bets to harvest a bull in velvet though.

That was four years ago and this year i tagged my fourth Idaho bull. Its worth the drive. Lots of elk and its easy to get away from crowds. We work very hard at it and put in lots of very tough miles but we have tagged 13 bulls in our little group. Go for it.
