[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 241856, member: 2011"] You're screwed right off the bat. From NW PA. What's the odds of that. :D:D How far noth of Eau Claire are ya............. The best thing going for you is beginners luck. That first elk hunt can and sometimes is awesome with great results. After that its a real brute. Here's a start. Call 724-458-7489 and ask for Mark. Tell him Roy from Idaho told you to call him. He'll wonder what in the heck is going on. He's my brother so he'll be slow to catch on.:D Ask him for the name of his friend in Salmon Idaho who is a guide. I believe his last name is Butch. He is from the Grove City area and has been in the Salmon area for decades. Then contact the fella in Idaho. He'll give good instructions. You'll want a guide due to the vastness of the area vs the smallness of the areas hunted in PA. Also with the wolf pressure there is more space than ever before between elk. If you road hunt you'll drive more in a day than you do all season back there. If you walk and stalk you'll walk many miles in a day. The most important thing is to have enough gun and be able to shoot it well out to several hundred yards. After the animal is down, preferable Dead Right There the hard word starts but if taken slowly it's plenty doable. Keep in touch and good luck. [/QUOTE]
