Idaho Unit 96 Draw Tag Success

[Potsie]

Hi all, long time reader first time poster. Anyways, I was lucky enough to draw a bull tag in unit 96 in Idaho. I’m not looking for any honey holes, but would I be better off staying in the 5670 - 5860 elevation band or should I go lower for the early early season tag?

Congrats! I have heard that is a very hard tag to draw so, if you can find some former tag holders, I am sure they would be willing to share honey holes.

You forgot to tell us time demands will not allow you to scout pre season.

Sugar creek is the sweet spot in 96.

I’d hunt the border of your unit and unit 69.

If you choose to do this bring mouthwash

Shiiiit. Thanks for the tip, I was e-scouting the tag I drew and found Rock Creek. Might be able to skip my boots on the ground weekend in July.

Since I haven't received any DM's with more honey holes I asked Gemini about hunting Rock Creek and it gave some good tips:
