I wasn't looking or talking about ID, WY is what I referred to.You must be confused. We do not have or use points in Idaho. There are NO left-over tags for out-of state hunters and the out of state tags sold out early.
Yes, I was screwed up...I apologize.

@338weatherby I was just considering your name, do you have a large bore Weatherby?
Sold the Weatherby and am having LPR build me a 338LM improved. I don't think I'll have it in time.
I'd go with 300 WSM with 200+ Grain bullet then back up with 7saum and 180's. Both are fine. I still like a 30 cal before the 7mm though.

I go elk huntin every other year, most for the looong shot. My main rifle is what I had newly built the past 24 months-- Basically Long range elk cartridges
with a Nightforce NXS--whether a Manners/Gunwerks/Mcmillan stock proof Research barrel...etc. What ever I did not like or hindered me in previous hunt I evolve into the new "Next" elk rifle. Usually I run full circle and come back to one I sold 10 years ago! But my Second elk rifle has been the same for years with High confidence---Colt Light Rifle with Douglas#4 24" fluted/breaked Douglas barrel. 6.5x284 8Twist-- MPI mountain stock (SLimmer than a Rifles Inc). Weighs 5.7 lbs and the best balanced & feeling rifle I have ever had. 140 Berger VLD at a mild 2800fps. 1.5#trigger.
Scope as of late Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 Ballistic Turret. My opinion--Superb optics--17 oz. repeatable klik-klaks and sleek.
