I drew a tag to hunt Idaho unit 18 for mulies this year nov 10-30th. I am not familiar with the area and wondering if someone could help narrow down some area to hunt. There is only 10 tags given out. I have only got one mule deer buck so far and would like to get a real nice one. I can hunt the whole season. Would appreciate any info.
 
I drew a tag for 18 in 2017. It took me most of the trip to figure out the area. Ended up taking this guy on the second to last day, not a monster but big enough for me to not pass up. He was at the snow line up high. It was the season before the one you drew. Feel free to DM me if you want any details.

I hunted with jerkychaser that hunt. He walked his butt off to get that buck. He never gives up! We also saw some real monsters on private, wish we could get that tag again. Good luck with your hunt and send pics of your buck.

Nothing like those leg cramps in the middle of the night after that long pack out!
 
Tough ass hunt like mentioned best bets hire a guide with horses or mules or hire a jet boat . Most of the best bucks left in this unit are on private or down deep in one of those nasty ass canyons !! You can knock on some doors { good luck finding the actual landowner home } 99% will not let you hunt , but there is always that chance !! If you are not used to 500' to 1500' daily climbs in some of the Nastiest country on Earth best get to doing the most Extreme leg works outs you can do !! Most hunters that draw this unit dont make it more than a day or two before becoming road hunters or Way better at using their glass !!
