Oh I have gohunt and onX, but I like paper maps on hand to make notes and such. But I’ll try hard smartening up thoughthese units are really why you want an app like on X. your going to be up against private ground everywhere. not going to find that on paper. id try smartening up in the next month with an app
When I hunted 45 I used maps from MyTopo. They're not cheap but they are made from very high quality materials & are water proof. They cover the entire unit.Trying to find good maps to carry in the field for unit 45. Anyone know of good ones? Not smart enough to figure out the hunt planner maps. Was hoping there might be one of the 45 and 52 areas.
If you have OnX it shows you camp grounds. A quick 30 second scan and I found some around magic reservoir. I highly suggest learning how to use OnX. You can way point blood trails, beds, where you need to turn. I've used the ruler to measure water holes or across canyons and have found it to be very accurate.Any decent campgrounds in the unit?
Kinda funny. Difference from when I was asked is he’s already revealed the unit. It’s one of three species, all being a pretty good tag. Or he’s completely clueless that it’s even a draw unit and is heading out for general season in 45…. That’d be as funny as not knowing how to use OnXIdaho.
I’m not very familiar with the different hunts in 45. He also mentioned unit 52 so maybe that is a clue to which hunt he has?Kinda funny.

Have used onX for yrs little buddy mainly use gohunt now due to better mapping, the tags an archery elk. Do you typically engage in threads to just be a douch or is this one just a rare case and something triggered your feelings? Let me guess you still live with your mother?Kinda funny.

ThankyouI had this tag in 2018 before they moved the 50 rifle bull tags to the month of August right before the archery tag which has made it really tough for the archery guys (see harvest statistics below). I went in there last year with my buddy that drew the rifle tag in the 2nd drawing and places that were all tore up with elk sign when I was there were overgrown and sign was minimal. Hunt the private boundaries, both of us shot bulls within 100-200 yards of the private boundary and a couple hundred yards apart. If you are coming from a campground you'll be hunting around corn or you'll need to leave super early to get where you need to be before 1st light. I primitive camped close to where I hunted and still had a dirt bike ride and an hour plus hike to get to where I needed to be before first light.
Good luck, it will be tough, but can be very rewarding.
