Your thoughts on idaho's best controlled hunt for 350+ bulls

[Elkaholic11]

Just curious on everyone's thoughts on which idaho unit holds the best chance at harvesting a record book bull?

I've heard from a biologist that he had seen the state record in 40..... and i've seen 2 350"+ bulls in 42..... those are the two units I would hunt..... wife cousin shot a 370" bull in 40 last year and her cousin is a girl.....

I would put my effort into learning 40, I have a source that says the state record is down there, my wife's cousin had a 40 tag and shot a 6x7 350" bull last year, and her cousin is a girl.... Good luck, I may be able too point you in a direction...

Wow, your wife's cousin's bull grew 20 inches since you posted on Elkaholic11's last thread. Just giving you a hard time slayer.

There are no 350+ bulls in Idaho--wolves ate them all and left only raghorns. Move along.

Why do you keep saying your wife's cousin is a girl that killed the bull? Should it mattter if its a guy or girl?

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu or Islamic?

 

[TheTone]

If I remember right you've got a super tag, correct? If I was in your shoes I know I wouldn't look at any hunt north of the Salmon river

Tom, It would be cool to see some photos if you have any. Always nice to see pictures of Idaho during the elk glory days.

46,54,40,42 all have big bulls capable of breaking IG... I know a guy that killed a 346 in 2011 and a 364 in 46... so I know these are record book bulls

Haha called out!

I found a shed in 39 this year not far from Boise pushing 335". Probably one of very very few in the unit though.
