Advise for first elk hunt

[Bigwoodsarchery44]

I’m flying from Kentucky to Idaho the last week of September. I’m planning on hunting unit 50. Any advise in flying with gear, meat, and hunting unit 50 would be greatly appreciated.

Land and drive to CO, no elk only wolves in ID.

I won’t have anything nailed down for another week so Colorado is still and option.

Welcome to the forum.

I too prefer Colorado to Idaho. More elk. Less people. Win-Win type deal.

Try using the search function. There are other sections of this forum that deal with those things individually.
You could read for hours on each topic.

I hunted Idaho last yr only herd 1 bugle in 12 days and called him in 300 plus bull no shot passed on a cow calf . It’s hard hunting the elk are very spread out we averaged 7-10 miles a day found lots of fresh sign but the elk where quiet and sparse . The mountains are steep and times of blow down from the fires . Go have fun hope you have better luck than we did .

True, more elk in CO and no wolves. Search the forum there are plenty of threads on the info you are looking for.

Here's some...

Don't start planning a hunt out of state a month before.

Hunted unit 50 last year. Elk are spread out and it is steep and deep. Heard bugles the first couple days then they were quiet. Tags may be sold out already though if you didn’t get one already. There were 255 left in the state as of last Friday.

You can fly with your coolers and mail your clothes and stuff home.

We were unsuccessful for Montana Deer tags this year so we are salvaging the trip with a first time elk hunt in Colorado.
