I was wondering if anybody has any info on unit 63 for elk hunt late November. I may be hunting it with an active military man who has never hunted elk before. I have never hunted this unit before and due to time restraints this hunt is our best option. Any info would be great thank you.

welcome to the forum. unit 63 is a really big unit, come late november u may or may not need snowmobiles. those rds back in theres get nasty as nasty gets when there is any water. hit or miss game in there, lots of elk but all the times ive been out there ive never seen them inthe same place that late in season, allways on the move. drive and hope u can glass one up. ill send you a pm later on some area to check out. will you be hitting it from blackfoot side idahofalls side or mudlake side?

cool, get on those side rds and just drive, the freeway exit that takes you to mudlake... that area holds alot of elk year round. not really a secret spot but holds alot of elk none the less. we use to hunt that area and those cold foggy mornings ere allways the best for us.

Do I need to get a permit from the fish and game to hunt that area. Being so close to INEEL. or only if I go inside their borders the half mile that is open with the permit.
