You will be close to Boise. I have some friends that live in between Boise and Pocatello and they do a lot of hunting around that area. There should not be any problems with hunting in the local area. Your .270 should be about all you need. I grew up in SE Idaho and that is about the most popular gun out there. I don't have any honey holes to send you to but, keep in touch and maybe I can hook you up with my buddy in Burley and he can steer you in the right direction.
