So I've been researching DIY elk hunts. I would love to do a archery hunt, but I have some questions or issues. I think my equipment will do the trick, PSE Stinger and Bass Pro arrows with Muzzy fixed tips. I think that I have an idea with an Idaho hunt. I was looking at the OTC tag in unit 35 West of Elk City. I thought I was on it, until I saw that there are areas on the RMEF website that show much of that unit as not elk territory. I thought I had the spot after seeing that there are forest service roads that were closed, but the RMEF maps showed elk were not in the spot I had spied. So am I putting too much into RMEF and their locators or should I just give it a run? I had picked that spot due to high public land percent and relatively high success rates reported. I really want to make the trip west for elk, but i'm thinking I may be crazy since I have no experience or friends with experience. If the protocol here is to give more details let me know and I'll let you know how far I've thought this out.
