[QUOTE="mullmann03, post: 881413, member: 60122"] This October was the first time I visited and hunted Idaho. It was a very nice place and had some great scenery. We hunted five days, hiked over 40 miles and saw four bull elk together on day four. Other than the four elk we saw, we found five sets of elk tracks and they were all elk traveling solo. On day four we hiked in 4.5 miles and once we were 1.5-2 miles in we didn't go more than two hundred yards without being surrounded by wolf tracks. The two sets of elk tracks we saw had wolf tracks right over them. I was not expecting to see a lot of elk because I had heard Idaho has a lot of wolves and can be tough to hunt, but I have never hiked 40 miles anywhere in my life and only observed five big game animals (also got to see a moose within 20 yards). We talked with close to 20 other hunters and in the first five days of rifle season one guy harvested an elk, two others saw one elk each and another hunter heard elk. The guys we camped near have been hunting the area for a very long time and they said the amount of elk is the lowest they have ever seen. Overall I had a blast and the scenery was worth all the hiking. The consensus between the group I hunted with was we would come back to Idaho but it probably wont be our first choice. [/QUOTE]
