Title: Scouting Idaho Panhandle
Post by: Chuethou_b18c5 on July 31, 2011, 10:32:40 AM: Well I scouted Idaho unit #4 and put up some trail cams yesterday. Looks very promising. Saw some cow elk later in the evening...Lots of country...Can't wait til the season begins....

FYI you can pick up wolf tags for 31 bucks now, might wanna throw one in your wallet incase you see one!

First time hunting Idaho for elk?

Nope just came out, they went statewide instead of lolo, selway and middle fork, 31 everywhere, you can buy them online, only option is a $31 gray wolf tag.

Yes this will be my first time hunting idaho. Hopefully the elk are in here. This was a pretty far and long hike to get it. It's in a far ways from roads etc. so hopefully The elk will be in here! If anything I will post up pics....even if I am not successful I will be taking many pictures throughout the trip!
