[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 473899, member: 10391"] Here in Idaho there are two or more rivers that would be open to that type of hunting. The Salmon including the Middle Fork and the Snake below the Hells Canyon Dam come to mind. The problem with floating is your on the bottom and the elk and deer are on the top that time of the year 5000 feet above you. What works pretty good at least in my experience for bucks in the Hells Canyon Wilderness is to either back pack or horse back in above the river and spend a couple days hunting down hill working the breaks and have a boat pick you up at a pre arranged place on the bottom. Of course if horses are used one fella has to take them back down. Such hunts takes a lot of planning and the areas should be hiked during the summer so as to make sure the ridge that you pick to get you to the river does not turn into a 400 foot cliff at the bottom which is typical in the Hell's Canyon Wilderness. Good luck. It's a good way to hunt. [/QUOTE]
