What to do?

Hello everyone, next year I plan on going bow hunting for the first time. But I have no idea where to go or what to look for. I live in Idaho and am 15 years old. My uncle has a spot that we go to every year. But we really don't see much for deer. The elk is good there but no deer. It is my dream to kill a somewhat decent buck. The last 2 years I have killed does on the last weekend to get some meat in the freezer and 3 years ago I shot a little forky. I have never seen a buck bigger than a 2 point while hunting and I would like to find my own spot that at least would have a shot at a decent buck. I have my license and am willing to scout over the summer and such. But I just don't know where to start, do I look at topo maps in different units? If so where? Do I look at harvest reports and stats? I honestly don't know where to start to find an area that has bucks in it. I don't want anyone's "honey holes" or anything, I just want to know what to do to even get on the right track at finding an area and spots that I could do some scouting in. Thanks for any help :)
 
Send a PM to GB22 and ask his opinion. He is succesful and is very knowledgeable about Idaho and how to hunt and a young man could learn a lot from a hunting veteran like him. fatrooster.
