The Idaho Elk Journey: "Preparing for the trip"

[Matty]

My brother and I are flying into Salt Lake City Utah and driving up from there. The others are flying into Idaho Falls.

 

We'll be camping/hunting in the mountains of the Targhee National Forest North and West of Idaho Falls. I know that's a humungous area, and I'm sorry to be so extremely vague, but it's not my spot and I don't know how Dan would feel with anything more specific.

Best of luck to you and your crew. What type of altitude will you be hunting?

Thanks Tom!

 

Jerseyhunter, the highest peak is just over 12,000 feet near camp, but theres no timber up there and I doubt I'd ever get up there even if there was. lol

 

The majority of our time will be between 7,600-9,800 feet.

Great time. I have spent time in Idaho Falls. I stayed in Pocatello. It is a great spot and has a healthy elk herd. Good luck and enjoy............Idaho is amoungst the most beautiful states in the US. Good luck.

Thanks!

 

All the gear is shipped. Just have to climb on a plane next week.

 

Then climb up some steep mountains with my bow, 40# pack and food.
