LAST EDITED ON Oct-17-18 AT 02:34PM (MST)[p]I haven't hunted it, but have researched it before I put in for the draws. I don't think you will have a problem getting a good buck. I'm not much help, but good luck and I hope you get a big one! NRA Life Member

The late hunt is a little tougher than the early one since the rut will be over. The more ground you can cover, the better chance you have of seeing one, so just keep moving from daylight till dark and he'll get one. NRA Life Member

If you go in to purchase a tag, the options will show "SP" for one of them, that's a Special Permit that you drew. NRA Life Member

I drew the #24 moose tag this year and am hoping to get input from anyone that has been seeing any good bulls there lately. I've gotten info from previous hunters, but I'd like to see if I can get some up to date intel. I'll start my hunt on Sept 20, so any info that anyone would like to share...

I drew a unit 24 moose tag this year. I've never been there before, so I'm hoping I can get some info from people that know the unit. I would greatly appreciate any info that you would be willing to share. NRA Life Member

I eventually found that out too. NRA Life Member

I see that the auditor has a whole new website this morning. It looks like you can search again. NRA Life Member

I'm not on the list, looks like I'm moose hunting in 24 this fall. NRA Life Member

I'm thinking that they are looking to put some wolves in the St Helens blast area to help fill the quota for all three regions. With the elk dying off around there, they might think the wolves would be natures cure for that. NRA Life Member

I bought a pair of the Viper 8x32 HD bino's a couple of months ago and used them for deer hunting last fall. I am quite impressed with their brightness and clarity, but they weigh a little over 20 ounces and are a bit too heavy for me to wear around my neck all day. They do however work fine...

Looks like no one wants to encourage their own competition for a permit in the future. NRA Life Member

LAST EDITED ON Sep-11-14 AT 10:27AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-11-14 AT 10:26?AM (MST) I am considering unit 27 for bull moose next year since the point shifts have put me way behind for the unit I have been applying for. What kind of quality, numbers, access and terrain could one expect in...

PM sent.

Okay, I could not remember the reason, thank you for your response.

Does your 2nd choice on an Idaho deer permit application really count? I have read on forums in the past that only the 1st choice is considered for some reason.

I saw a group of 10 bulls in 42 on Nov 8th near Bald Mt out in the sage. The biggest was a 6 point with one main beam broke about halfway. The rest were raghorns and spikes.

I drew unit 42 but won't be leaving till the 4th for my hunt. Even though I haven't been there yet, I'm expecting the rut to have a good start by now.

My parner and I drew Unit 42 deer rut hunt in Nov. I've never been there so if anyone has some knowledge about that hunt, please shoot me a PM. Thanks in advance.

What is the latest status of the wilderness areas now? Have boundaries been since determined and posted for indian areas? What about road closures leading to wilderness areas? With hunt application soon, just trying to figure out if unit 41 or 42 is worth applying.

If you sent me a PM, try again. My computer showed I had PM's but they didn't show up in the inbox.

I have an October deer permit as well and am going as a DIY hunt. I live 1,000 miles from the unit so needless to say, I'll not be scouting till my arrival. I would appreciate any info as well in a PM.

I looked at that forever scenario of waiting for Henries or Pauns with 12 nonres points this year. Not wanting to wait forever, I cashed in on the sure bet and drew the Elk Ridge any weapon deer permit this year. Remember, Elk Ridge used to be a Premium Limited Entry tag. The trophy genetics are...

I built a insulated meat box with 1/2" plywood for the exterior and 3" thick styrofoam in the middle and 1/8" fiberglass reinforced plastic panels on the inside and sealed it to be waterproof with a drain in bottom. I painted the outside white to reflect the heat and would think it would keep...

Since I drew this permit this year, I'm interested in seeing some more Elk Ridge permit bucks. I have seen some nice bucks from there. Are there any more pics of bucks that past permit holders have taken in this unit? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to either build an insulated container or buy one for a hunt during warm weather. I need something that will keep groceries cold in camp for 5 days then store a quartered elk (with ribcage boned out) for transport home. I would use this for out of state hunts 1000 miles away as well...

Why give a dumb@$$ ammo for a response? Its not worth it considering the replies. This thread is going no where.

Thanks for the pic Smoktem, nice buck. How about some more pics of San Juan Elk ridge bucks?

Thanks Mathewsman, having never been there, a place to start will help. After 12 years of applying, I'm really looking forward to hunting in that scenic country. When I first started applying, the San Juan Elk Ridge was a classified as a "premium" unit for deer. Too bad it lost that status.
