Unit 46 late elk hunt idaho

[backcountrylevi]

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to share some information about this hunt with me? Areas to start looking, type of bulls I may expect to see, elk numbers, etc.? Any information would be much appreciated.

Congrats and good luck. I would have to say hunt the most southern part. The northern part just doesnt seem like elk country to me.

Thanks! That was what I was thinking as well. Keep it coming guys...I appreciate anything you are willing to share.

awesome.  Well i hunted unit 46 for deer last year and I came across some monster bulls.  It was during the last part of general rifle season when i came across six big bulls.  I have hunted as far east to west, north to south as one can get in that unit.  There is a lot of elk sign in there and there are some dried up creeks in the area that have small patches of water.  There are also water holes that are continually full of water for the cattle in the area. You can find the bulls but it is tought to locate in all that open country.

Thank you so much! what size of bulls should I "expect" to see? Can you give me a general area?

 

[Bullhunter]

The two of the bigger bulls were around 360"+ and the other ones were in the low 300's.  All great bulls. I will PM you the area.
