Idaho's Unit 30

Hey everyone. I will be hitting a new elk spot this year and dont know much about the area. This is a late season bull tag that goes into November. If any one has any suggestions or could guide me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

Check out the kirtley creek area. It is not far from salmon. We got in late last year and talked to teh owner of Wagons west motel and he pointed us into that area. We didn't have an elk tag for 30, so we just hunted muleys. First thing we saw was a 3x4 elk (figures). We also saw a few nice mule bucks, but didn't get any shooting. There is a rancher that allows you to hunt out there as well. I think he was pretty much the first ranch inside unit 30 if you take the road out there from salmon. If you want to email me I'll try to get you the coordinates for the ranch.

Don't know if you remember, but you pointed me to the powder house area near cougar point campground last year. We saw a ton of elk and muleys, but we struck out. Not a bad area over all. thanks for the input. my email is wlevan@state.pa.us
