Thanks for the info.
I will not be using a guide. My brother and I will try this on our own this year. We have an area picked out thanks to a former resident of Idaho. He has shown us on maps where to go if there is snow on the ground or not. Only problem is his information is about 10 years old. I'm sure that the areas have been logged some in that time.
Elknuts vidios seem to be mostly pre rut and during the rut, hope some of the cow talk will work after the rut.
