We would be going for mule deer. was looking at the NE corner, but that seems to be a lot of private land. Do they have a block management system like Montana.
NE Corner, as in north and east of Bonners Ferry? If so there is quite abit of private right along the hiway, but everything else is public. Get up high and the Mulies are there, but are also getting hit by the wolves.

I suggest, and it's just an informed opinion really, perhaps unit 36, 39, 43, 44 (permit only), 49 and 50. :)
Nice Idaho mulies are still to be had in the southern portion of the state. You'll work for the better one's though. Just as in physics, there's no free lunch when it comes to trophy class mulies; anywhere. Average mulies? Pretty good bucks here in good ol' Washington.
I wouldn't hesitate to hunt 39 and 43, again. And I will.
I hunted those units while stationed at Mtn. Home AFB in the 80's, later in the 90's and again in 2001. These units are large, rugged in places, and hunting pressure is both concentrated (near roads and campgrounds) and non-existent in the more remote, high elevation home ranges of some bucks (well away from roads and trails).
Get in shape, and Good Luck!

i know you said you would want to hunt mulies but just to let you know, the area near st. maries is a great place for whitetails. We have been there 3 years in a row now. you hunt all day and rarely see another hunter. great place to take the atvs also. we have killed multiple bucks there now with the biggest one scoring around 150. Great place. very cold but definitely worth it! its a blast and the town is a hunting town they all wana know how you are doing and always are willing to give advice. We got that 150 inch buck after asking the pizza delivery boy if he knew any good spots. haha
Yeah, Idahoans for the most part understand the type of money that comes into the state through hunting. Most are willing to point out of towners in the right direction because they know if they're successful they'll be back.
