Idaho General Deer
« on: September 06, 2012, 09:41:28 PM »
I am thinking about buying a general deer tag in Idaho and hunting unit 1, maybe some of the other pan handle units if I can find the time off.  Thoughts and comments on those units? And your favorite/tradition/fun trip units?
Well, I didn't drive 13 hours just to shoot once!

Don't waste the money...between wolves and two really hard winters I wouldn't pay the money to hunt nr deer in N. Idaho right now....maybe southern Idaho?

Yep no more deer in N. Idaho that's for sure and the season is so short it is not really worth it..   :)

Ya I was mostly considering this area for a proximity tag; being only 3 hours from the pan handle I could probably get 3-4 extended weekends out of this hunt.  If I pick other units more south, chances are I will only get 1 hunt.  Maybe there is not many deer left, but hey, it only takes one.

There are alot of good bucks in the northern area. I would hunt it in a heartbeat. I am from Idaho. There are some good animals on the fourth of july pass area. Bumblebee creek to be more exact.  :tup:

There are still deer there.  And with a couple hard days of hunting just about any person that is not legally blind can kill a buck.  I just compare it to what it was just 5-7 years ago and it sucks.  A couple very hard winters have really knocked the numbers down.  If you go just a few hrs south of there the deer numbers are a lot better.
