I personally would reconsider hunting in that area! I live in the northern part of ID but have friends the live in the salmon area and they claim the wolves have really hurt the elk populations! The ID fish and game may tell you otherwise but they are known for saying anything to sell a few more non resident tags. Look into the Lemhi river area or Selway. The St. Joe river country still has a lot of elk but there are a lot of hunters also.
Hope this helps, John
