First Idaho Elk hunt

[Celtic Clamper]

I am really wanting to do an out of state DIY hunt in Idaho for a bull elk. I would like the chance to tag a muley also if possible. I can do archery or rifle. I don't care how many tines the bulls have, just that it has antlers. I have hunted CA mulies for years, but tired of our systems here. I know this question has been answered before, but herds/weather/land changes. I am in decent shape. I have good gear, and will most likely be with 1 partner. I will be travelling up from Central CA. The expirience is as valuable as filling the freezer. Can anyone familiar with Idaho give me some pointers?I am planning this for a 2018 hunt. Thank you in advance.

welcome to the forums. first pointer I would give is, go down to intro section and introduce yourself to the forum. then jump in and get to know some folks and let them get to know you.there are many here willing to help but many won't until they see you to be worthy of their time.
second pointer... check out the tailgate section and read the pm looking for help thread.

I am from idaho and will answer general questions, if I can but you won't find many giving up honey holes.

there are many over the counter opportunities here .

I here great things about the east side of state. LOL that was a joke meant for ivorytip.



it would be helpful to know more about what your interested in also.. time of year ? early or late seasons?backpack hunt? horses? motel or camp? do you have a particular unit in mind yet?
