Hey guys, so this year I'm looking to make my first trip up into Idaho for deer and since I was unsuccessful in the draw, OTC is my only option. I was wondering how these two units are in the way of quality and ability to get away from crowds. Is the majority of hunters here road hunters or ones that won't go more then a mile or so from the trailhead since it's steep country? I have looked over the stats and they seem to have done ok from a harvest standpoint but are very crowded. I do know that some areas have done better with less pressure but I'm only able to go the last week of Oct due to my sons jr tag he drew in CA.

Outside of the occasional snow storm, when does the snow really start to fall?
