Welcome to the West.. I'm personally at Hill AFB in Northern Utah here (contractor though). Mt. Home is near Boise, ID.

Anyway, I hunt in Idaho all the time. I assume you will have to get non-resident licenses? or does your military status change that? Anyway, here is some important info on Idaho.

- May 31st is the deadline for controlled units (has some great units, tough odds)
- You archery hunt so it's a huge plus. You can buy over the counter tags (res or non-res) for alot of good units that are normally low odds rifle units. I personally bow hunt in SE Idaho on the Caribou Natl. Forest. I can't vouch for anywhere else in the state. I hunt Elk and Deer
- Now the best one, if you have kids?? Idaho has a mentoring program that flat rocks!!! For each tag you purchase, one child 12+ can purchase that same tag for pennies on the dollar.. literally, it's like $12 for Elk and $9 for Deer (may have went up, my oldest is 11, so I don't watch it too close)

Anyway, visit somewhere like terraserver.microsoft.com and check out some maps of the areas. Put a few posts out here once you pick a general region and I'm sure you will find somewhere to go. I'd be happy to answer any questions via email too or reply here.

Have fun!!
