Hey guys! I am hoping for some advice here. I checked out Idaho PanHandle last year, it was mostly watching dudes racing around on quads in any of the locations I ended up at, mostly because I didn't know where to even start, apparently I ended up where everyone else goes though because... I saw a lot of people.
I am looking at a few different locations, in no particular order:
Option 1.
Unit 20A seems to have solid numbers, but from what I have read it is heavily leaning towards outfitters pumping those numbers up. Can someone have a base camp and do a spot and stalk version of hunting in this unit, or is it mainly horses and mules like the Selway units... I am looking at the B tag which allows me to use any weapon, so I can use my modern firearm on this hunt.
Option 2.
Unit 30A - The A tag is archery only for Bull only. I have been told by a few people that it is a draw hunt, but according to the regulations it is a general hunt tag and when I go into the online market to purchase a tag it is available. It seems this might be a good tag to get, the only downfall is my disability from the military makes Archery a harder choice for me, doable YES, but not as attractive as using my rifle. What do you guys think about this unit, and do you have suggestions for camping?
Option 3.
Selway Unit, but this is rough, and will probably kill me...
Do you have a suggestion? A different unit, Which tag and why? My disability doesn't really limit me much on hiking, but due to my sleep apnea, I have to use a main camp to recharge batteries on my CPAP machine. (yeah TBI from the military!)
I know this is my first post, and people might not want to help out too much, but if I don't ask, I will get NO help at all. Thanks to those of you who will reach out, and I hope to start chatting with some of you soon! Happy New Year!
