Idaho Sawtooth Zone, who got one?

[The Harbor Master]

Wednesday the 12th was my first attempt at getting an Idaho Sawtooth B tag, and was lucky enough to get one before sellout. Should be hunting just West of Stanley, but have spent little time in 36... Any other B tag first timers? Good luck!

Did you grab the tag online or in person? I also grabbed a B tag this year. Struck out in person but got lucky enough to grab one online. It’s pretty overwhelming looking at all the possible spots to hit up. I expect October to be pretty tough in the post rut, until the snow gets them moving. Good luck.

This will be my first attempt at the area. I was lucky enough to get one of the few Sawtooth B tags that were in the returned pool a couple days ago.

I’ll be hunting Diamondcreek in September.

Got one as well. B tag. Got a few spots to try out this year.

Good luck! Got an A tag over in Island Park with a buddy. Can't wait to get out there. Will likely see more humans than elk, but certainly better than the office!

Any luck with those B tags?

Any luck with those B tags?

Nope, we struck out last year. This year I had a different tag, but a couple of buddies had Sawtooth B again and filled 3 of 5 tags.

no elk left in the sawtooths.

not a sawtooth, nor the area i am familiar with but was able to land a beaverhead tag. Looking forward to it. Lots of access that i am not used to but i have flagged at least 2 dozen areas to check out so far.

We got sawtooth B tags again this year. Been hunting that area for numerous times and has always treated us good. We filled 3 of 5 tags last year plus a good bonus Muley. Could have gone 5/5 on bulls last year. Be smart and don’t hunt around an obviously populated areas or you’ll staring at a lot of other hunters and no so many critters.

That tag system is a mess. I was fortunate to grab a Tex Creek A tag but boy was it stressful. I thought in person was almost guaranteed but guess I’m wrong

I wonder how many people made the trip and could not get a tag. The best bet is probably to pay a resident to buy the tag(s) for you.

 

[D_wit22]

That would be a crappy feeling if you flew out there and didn’t get the tag! Wonder what time you have to get in line? Like Black Friday all over again

 

[IdahoBeav]

Some people camped several days in the parking lot at IDFG regional offices. Standing in line outside all night was more common.

 

[bgbuck153]

A guy from PA and his buddies camped for numerous days out front the IDFG office. I’m kinda shocked that that’s even allowed.

 

[D_wit22]

How many days are we talking? That seemed crazy to me.

 

[bgbuck153]

He had 6 days/night in line plus travel on top.

Has anyone had any luck with the Salmon Tag for Non resident? Have heard it is a good tag as well.
