Elk Hunting in Idaho
Where to Hunt in Idaho? Looking for suggestions.
I realize that nobody likes to give away there honey hole or Elk Haven, however I am asking for a little guidance. I am a resident from Washington State and I am looking to go Bowhunting for the first time in Idaho next fall. I have been Bow Hunting in Washington for the last 12 years and looking for a change of scenery.
There are so many units for Elk in Idaho I have no idea where to begin. Someone had mentioned Elk City, I guess because of the name. Can any one offer me any educated opinions?
It would be greatly appreciated!

RE: Elk Hunting in Idaho
What is it with folks that live in Washington and hunt out of state? I know when I'm out bowhunting, their's more Washington plates than any other here in Idaho. Is it you don't have many elk or what. All I can tell you about Elk city is theirs more people than elk during hunting season. If I were you I'd check with fish&game about areas your interested in. Ask about bull to cow ratios,access for roads,trails, do I need horses. Get topo maps of best areas and do scouting from home. Remember too temperatures can get around 10-15deg. during bow season, so make sure you're equipped for it. GOOD LUCK. ELKNUT1
