Drew a late season tag that hopefully will work between kids sports, family obligations and work. Talked to the biologist and some locals/friends of friends that said there aren't any elk left, at least on their side of the range. Looking to see if there was Rokslider that I could bounce some ideas off of. No units in the thread should be self explanatory, pm me if you're good with sharing some details.

Driving about 8 hours to the unit from North Idaho one way with a 5 day window. Nov15-30th, I'm setup for the weather both spiking out or with a base camp.

Wondering on what to bring for a set of backcountry wheels. Ebike or SXS, tracks or tires? plan for snow?
Should I focus on private access or make it a public land adventure?
realistic expectations for what caliber of bulls I would find?

thanks!
