Idaho elk instructor. I'm hoping you may be able to give me a little insight. I have archery hunted elk in Colorado, New Mexico, and my home State of Arizona, but I have never been to Idaho. My hunting partner and I have received the maps, harvest statistics and elevation charts in several of the units in central Idaho, but we are trying to get more specific information regarding thick timber, roadless back country, creeks, and meadows etc. We are leaning toward hunting either the Sawtooth region in units 34, 35, or 36 just West of Stanley Idaho, or the Smokey Mountains region in units 43, 48, or 49 just West of Krtchum Idaho. If you could provide any suggestions or information on these units and the elk populations in these units, that would be great. Thank you.....Joe
