    Logging Tongass National Forest

    Anyone following the news on Tongass National Forest? Sounds like they're going to open it up for logging. Not sure what that means for hunting.

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    I'm looking at several walk-in only trails. Generally in the 1-4 mile (one way) range. Worried I might still just be following someone up the trail. If that doesn't work out might just hike off trail in the same areas.

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    That's crazy people are out there already. You think they're prepping for rifle season or are they archery / muzzleloader? I guess it could be people who are just camping - not hunting.

    Idaho unit 39

    I'm looking at foot trails. Something someone would hike or backpack on. Yeah, that's what I was worried about. Some have trailheads, some don't, but they probably draw people in either way.

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    Ok cool. I'll probably go up a day or two early as well. Seems like a lot of people come in at the last minute. Interesting. Sounds like elevation isn't always the best indicator. I've heard people say to aim for 5000-6000, but when the area goes up to 11,000 who knows.

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    That's good to know! What was the weather like in November? Any snow yet to push them down? I'm looking at a quicker trip - scout 2 days and hunt 3.

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    True. I'm not sure how fast it drops off. I'm looking at some areas as high as 8000'. Maybe that's too high for mule deer, but though I'd start there and work down. Not sure where the snow line is (or if there is snow yet).

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    Good to know there's lots of spots. Not too picky, just want to make sure I can find something. I'm hoping to get away from Boise a bit, not sure if that'll help. Sounds like there are record license sales this year. Still a ways out but weather is showing 70s-80s. Not what I'm used to in...

    Idaho Wolf Hunting

    Sounds good. Wasn't sure if they were skittish like coyotes or if I'm going to be like Liam Neeson in "The Grey".

    Idaho Unit 39 Camping

    Does anybody know what the camping situation is like in this unit? Curious if there are places to pull off and camp all along the roads or if it's tough to find a spot.

    Bridge Range or ID unit 39 Spring Bear hunt

    Which unit did you end up picking? Curious if anyone sees bears during deer season in unit 39?

    Idaho Wolf Hunting

    Do people regularly see wolves in Unit 39? Not looking to hunt them, just want to be careful during deer season.

    Idaho unit 39

    How far out on trails do you typically see people? I'm eying a 4+ mile trail (each way). Seems like most people wouldn't be walking 8 miles - but maybe you have to get off the trails too.

    Idaho Grouse /Upland game

    Anyone know if you can you hunt grouse during riffle deer season in this unit. Or if an extra license is required?

    New to Idaho looking at Unit 39

    I hear a lot of people stick to the roads in this unit. Are trails pretty packed too? I've seen some 4+ mile trails that look interesting, but wondering if those are just as packed.

    Idaho Deer Hunt

    Debating between 39 and 43 this year. From what I hear both units are very crowded.

    Idaho Deer Unit 43

    Ended up getting a couple antlerless draw tags in our group. Looking at the harvest statistics, I'm curious how many people pass on does early hoping for a buck and end up with nothing. I'd be happy with a doe this year.

    Idaho Deer Unit 43

    Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. I thought I saw a special draw for doe tags in these areas. I'll take a closer look. Thank you!

    Idaho Deer Unit 43

    Thank you! I was debating between 39 and 43. Does 39 have a better road system for motorized vehicles? I do like that it's closer to Boise.

    Idaho Deer Unit 43

    Hoping to hunt Idaho with my Grandpa this year. He's been hunting Washington his whole life, but since I started hunting with him several years ago I've never even seen a buck. Would be happy to get a small buck or even a doe if we can get a tag. Just looking for a good experience with him...
