LAST EDITED ON Aug-10-16 AT 01:39PM (MST)[p]Tired of hunting Utah.
Took a chance on drawing an Idaho controlled hunt.....didnt.
So, bought an Idaho general season 76 tag. Looks like beautiful country. But I see ROADS EVERYWHERE! I like to ride my horses in and get away from the crowds. My brother will be with me....we are in our thirties. This is our first hunt in Idaho. I have no idea what to expect on 10/10/16 opening day. I usually get up high. I can see some peaks that look like you can get away from the crowds. My brother has been in med school for 13 years and is finally out! I want his first out of state hunt to be decent. So, if a couple of you fine gentlemen wouldnt mind helping us out with just some basic info it would be much appreciated. If it is sensitive info just send me a PM thanks....
a. Is there a lot of other hunters? Looks like it
b. Can I get away from the pressure by getting away from the roads and trails or are the people here hard core like in G in Wyoming?
c. Are there bucks? Looks like a 45% success rate so I assume I might find a 4 point.
d. good unit to take my 13 year old son on for his first buck....he would be happy with a 2 point
e. Do they close down the roads for 4 wheelers....does anyone really follow the rule? I hope so because I like to get away from the crowds and hunt some steep country.
f. Anything else would be much appreciated.....
Daxter and gb22 and others used to have some great advice on here....not sure if they are still around....thanks again!
