Idaho Elk Hunting (Snake River Tag)

[millstev]

Ok I am starting the planning for next years hunting here in Idaho and I want your guys opinion on the Snake River A tag. So questions that I have are WOuld hunt unit 53 or 63? What are the herds like in those units? What is the terrain like? And any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

I've hunted 63 quite a bit. Mostly during the late archery mule deer hunt. I grew up near Unit 63.

There are elk there year round. Its wide open sage and agriculture with some relief. The elk hide remarkably well. At first look most people say "There are no elk here" They are there. More elk move in with snow.
