Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

IF_hunter, you might want to check out the forums on Monster Muleys also. The Idaho forum could possibly give you some more insight into the areas you area asking about and the wolf situation in those areas.

Thanks to everyone for the input. I've been scouring the net and come up with some quality information. I still need to find some locals to buy some

and shoot the ****. People in my office are...not the outdoorsmen type, you might say. I'll have to check into local archery clubs.

IF Hunter, you might want to consider an early season archery only hunt in one of the Non wilderness areas. I have gun hunted in unit 28 in the Salmon zone for the last 15 years. Units 29 and 30 are draw only for gun tags but you can buy an archery only tag over the counter and it has an abundance of great bulls on open land.
