Not sure how recently this is. I got gas there during the 2022 season but we had to wait for it to reopen after a lunch break. They were out of diesel.
I've got harses and if I can draw a buddy or 2 to break away from elk season back home they will come along. Don't know that I'm keen on taking a pair 13 miles deep by myself though.
It helps but is not essential. I’ve killed elk in both the Selway and the Frank Church on foot. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it can be done. If you don’t have livestock, I would recommend avoiding an established trailhead.
I can’t remember where I heard it. And I certainly can’t confirm it. But I am almost 100% certain that I either read or heard that the store does not sell gas anymore and you have to get it in Grangeville?
That's correct ...Store had a sign on the door yesterday "no gas after May 1st"
Maybe for deer, but I have had a couple groups over the years offer me millions to help pack out their elk with the goats.
Yeah that doesn’t surprise me.Maybe for deer, but I have had a couple groups over the years offer me millions to help pack out their elk with the goats.
Why stay away from trails, presume just due to more density of guys using the trail system to travel on foot?
Yep.
hunting a area near there that is also extremely low density of elk I can say there is some very old bulls in these areas just not alot of elk. Same for mule deer is very few pockets of deer, but the deer you find there seems to be some old bucks around every year I hunt them.
