ID unit 58 cow elk

[IDoutdoors]

Anyone willing to share any info on the Idaho controlled cow elk hunt in unit 58. Is this a weather dependent hunt or are there elk there most of the time? Are the numbers of elk good? What is the access like during this hunt? Would this be a good hunt for a youth hunter? I’m researching everything I can about unit 58 on the net. Just some general info would help. Thanks

It would be a decent hunt mainly due to the length of the season and good number of elk

Above objective #s and the entire month of Nov make this a desirable hunt, consequently higher odds of drawing. Good luck. Access stays good thru the hunt. With little snow, they can be herded up and high on the hill. Requires long shooting at times.

I can't speak to 58, but I've had a great time on every ID controlled cow hunt I've been a part of.

Did this unit last year and if I'm being honest tagged out opening morning before 8:00am plenty of elk in the area. I scouted quite a bit and figured out where they had been going frequently prior to the season. Had some friends also have the tag as well as the bull for that area and opening morning several tagged out.

That sounds like a fun hunt! Glad to hear there are plenty of elk in the unit. I love the country around there. Only fished at Birch creek before never hunted elk there. Thanks for the info nickabocker!

I have a muley tag for 58 this fall. I have a feeling I'll be seeing way more elk than deer, but looks like great scenery and it will be fun being amongst elk even if I don't see many bucks.

BGnigby good luck on your deer hunt. That should be fun seeing all the elk and hopefully some deer!
