idaho 2020, looking for input

If you have a smart phone, download avenza and download the free motor vehicle use maps on the local forests page if you plan on hunting national forest land. They are very helpful and I always download those maps for work purposes or for fun. OnX is only so useful.


CBs are also useful in the panhandle units and elsewhere in Idaho. Lots of log truck traffic and this time of year some roads are dicey and not fun if you meet a loaded log truck or lowboy on one of them.

+1 on CB!

Had a log truck doing 40+ mph while I was on my little bike, put me in the weeds then I ate dirt.

I would consider a Trail 90, scooter, bike of sorts.  Get ya all back deep on some single track trails etc.

Still able to put a deer tag on a cat or bear?

Yes if there’s an open season.

[greenhead_killer]

I’ll def verify before I get there. Thanks!

Not familiar with the unit your going to be hunting but if there is any private timber verify on your onx and make sure you get an access pass...most now require a pass and some are free...inland empire will cost you. good luck and enjoy the trip!

[greenhead_killer]

will do. i think ive got us down to be almost 95% in nf lands, but there are some private timberlands around. we havent hunted idaho in 10 years and this is a somewhat blind trip but im stoked for it!

I just got here to unit 1 today about 1130am.  Hiked a couple miles past a locked gate.  Saw a muley buck on a doe from too far off to tell if he was good. Crossed a nasty jungle canyon and 3 creeks to get to him.  Got right up close.  Just a big forky.  Damn.  Woulda been done if he was good.  Pretty damn impressive for a forky though.  I was half tempted.

I’d love to whack a super 2! I would have shot hahaha. My dad and I are getting stoked. I think it’s gonna be hot when we get there. Well have three days for md then the rest is just wt...or just all wt for me!

[greenhead_killer]

less than a week until we take off. looks like the area is going to get some snow pretty hard these next few days. might have to adjust areas based on snow level and scout/hunt the first few days to get familiar with it all. ive been talking to a few others who have hunted this area, everyone keeps saying dont get your hopes up. ive hunted wa for 25 years, nothing can be worse than that!

Just be willing to hike higher and farther than the other hunters and you'll find deer.
