After doing some research (GoHunt Insider, Onyx Maps, Forum Searches, etc.) I think I'm going to try Idaho unit 19A in hopes of getting my first elk this year. Put in for some controlled hunts but was unsuccessful so I'm planning on an OTC rifle hunt. I'm in good shape and prepared to hike in far from roads. I will be heading over in a few weeks to scout the area. I was thinking I'd try to find somewhere to camp near the "town" of Warren. Just wondering if somebody with knowledge of this area can tell me if I'm wasting my time looking for elk here. I hunted unit 25 for mule deer last year and didn't see any elk. I'd be okay with just doing a mule deer hunt again, but would really prefer an elk since I've shot plenty of mule deer but never an elk. However, given the non-resident tag cost, I'm hoping the area I've chosen isn't a total waste. Thanks!
