What would u do ? Idaho unit 50

[id450]

So, I have an opportunity to head out this sept to unit 50 Idaho with a guy I know a little bit. He has a friend who lives there and is willing to pack us in/out for the archery hunt. How's the elk population in the unit doing. I have not been able to find Much and plan to call the biologist next week? I really just want to see game and put on some stalks. I've never hunted Idaho and those darn wolfs make me nervous. Just looking for some help on whether to plan on going or focus some place else. Thank you

Sorry I can't help with unit 50. You are on the right track by calling the biologist. I would not worry about wolves. Idaho is beautiful country, good luck.

Id go and find out for yourself. That's the only way to know if you like it or not.

Make a trip over to the Idaho F&G website and take a look at the hunt planner/harvest stats for the unit. Judging by what I see in the stats it looks like the archery hunt is pretty good.

I'll say that unit 50 does get a TON of pressure during archery season.

I work in that area and the first two weekends of season there were tons of trucks out. I saw 19 trucks at one trail head

Thanks for the help guys. I'll apply that info and go from there

If you've got a guy who knows something and someone who is willing to pack you in/out. That's basically a free guided hunt in a unit that's got lots of elk. No brainer dude. Go for it!!

I'd go. Unit 50 is some amazing country to see.
