I’m planning a hunting trip to Idaho and could really use some advice on the best places to hunt. I’ve heard a lot about Idaho’s incredible wildlife, especially for elk and mule deer, but I’m not sure where to start. I’d love to hear from those who have experience hunting in Idaho!
What I’m Looking For:
Specific Locations: Are there particular areas known for having a good population of elk or mule deer?
Hunting Tactics: Any tips on techniques that have worked well for you?
Seasonal Insights: What times of year are best for hunting in these locations?
General Questions:
Are there any must-have permits or regulations I should be aware of?
How about local guides? Worth the investment?
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to hearing your stories and suggestions to make this trip a success. Thanks in advance!
Idaho is known for its diverse game species! If you’re looking for deer, the Boise National Forest is fantastic. Elk hunting can be great in the Clearwater region. Just remember to check the regulations for tags!
I’ve had great success with elk in the Sawtooth range. The landscapes are stunning, and they really know how to hide. Patience is key when hunting there!
You bet! I recommend arriving early to snag a good spot. The atmosphere can be very lively, especially on weekends. Be prepared for some friendly competition!
Idaho is a great place for hunting! For big game like elk, the best time is typically between late September and early November. The rut is a great time to catch them active!
