So with all the craziness that was canceling my honeymoon I ended up with all kinds of leftover flight credit for a number of different airlines. With some of this credit I have orchestrated a scouting trip the weekend of August 27-29th to the south-central Idaho unlimited quota elk unit that I will be hunting from September 13th-23rd with 2 friends. None of us have ever set foot in Idaho and we each have about 2-4 years of mixed previous experiences in the elk woods (public rifle, public drop camp archery, private archery, private rifle). I have been e-scouting, dropping way points on OnX, going through elk management plans, seeking out summer range GPS data, and so on...
Now with the back story out of the way, what I want to ask is-- Do you have any tips or suggestions on how I can make the most of 3 days of scouting in late August to improve our chances of success in mid-September?
