Salmon is a tough zone to hunt big steep...have hunted otu of challis quite a bit, but never in salmon zone...

I know the northfork has lots of elk...and the population is pretty good around teh border (with montana)...but also know the wolves are hitting that herd HUGE...

if you have only hunted there once, would suggest checking up in Gibbonsville area...lots of elk around there...I drive to Salmon frequent enough, and almost always see elk in and around there...would suggest staying on the Eastern side of the road...and those drains in there...
