Well, as the results of various draws are released, the possibilities of where to go hunting this fall diminish. As w/ several of you, our fate for this coming fall now lies in the hands of NM's and Cali's draws. W/ poor odds in each of these states (at least for the hunts we applied for), back-up plans are working their way to the forefront. LOL. At the beginining of the year, a couple of the guys in our group expressed an interest in hunting ID if all other plans failed. Not looking for a monster bull, they were more interested in seeing new country than visiting old stomping grounds.
Anyways, we have settled on the unit 21 and 28 country in the Shoup/N Fork area. Was hoping to get your guys take on Elk behavior in this area(perhaps one or two of ya have hunted this neck of the woods). Sounds like it's some pretty rough country in some spots. How much pressure should be expected? What's the weather like in mid-late oct(temps? snow? Road cond?)? Are the elk gonna move to certain areas w/ the progression of the season? Are elk still vocal on the opener? Any suggestions/techniques for hunting this area? Is it worth it to buy a deer tag as well?
Trying to get a handle on this hunt, so we can be prepared both mentally and physically. Any advice is appreciated. Use of PM's is encouraged. Thanks a bunch, Brian.
