Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I joined up hoping to get a little advice on planning a mule deer hunt in idaho. I spoke with Idaho fish and game today and was surprised to learn I can get an over the counter mule deer tag even though I live in Alberta.
Next year my kid brother will get his journeyman millwright ticket and I wanted to surprise him and take him on a backpack mule deer hunt. I've done a bit of research but am going to do more when I get home from work. I was told by the lady at the fish and wildlife office that the they have a 'plan your hunt' section on their website so I'll give that a try.
I was just wondering if any of you know the state well and could point us in the right direction. I would prefer to get somewhere with no road access, just backpack in. We'd be looking for preferably mule deer. We aren't trophy hunters by any means, I just think it would be a great trip to take my brother on. We've been hunting the same areas here in Alberta for the past 10 years and would like to try something new. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks eh,
Donnie
