Hello everyone,
I am a DAV and I saw that Idaho offers resident pricing as a non-resident on an elk tag so I pulled the trigger on a palisades B season elk tag. I am looking for general information on the area. I have ONX maps and it seems like the best bet is to hike into unit 67 and try to find some less pressured areas. I am relatively fit and don't mind a decent hike in, but would like to limit my distance to within a day of my truck (10 miles on modest terrain). I have done the 3+ day pack-out and would rather not have to do it again. Unfortunately, with COVID-19 and my work schedule I can't do a scouting trip. I have done a fair amount of elk hunting in Nevada and I am more than willing to trade information. I am looking for any suggestions on general areas to hunt or areas to avoid.
