Idaho unit 40 late info

I got drawn for the late hunt in unit 40 and was wondering if anyone had any information on where I should start my search for a quality buck.I will only be able to scout for 3 days at the end of october but will be hunting for 11 days. any information that will narrow my search would be much appriciated. Also I would like to know what size of buck I should hold out for.

I dont know how well you know the unit or how much you have been in the unit but I can tell you there are some great bucks there....finding them during the hunt is going to be a task....most people just drive the roads looking for deer.....good idea if you want a small or medium sized buck....you might even get lucky and find a big boy looking for does right along the road.
While you are scouting dont just concentrate on finding bucks....remember where you see does in certain areas....when hunt time rolls around and you see some bucks chasing does start hitting the pockets with does.....usually there will be some hidden pockets just over the hills off the main roads.
Best thing to do is pray for some cold weather to help get the does moving...bucks wont be too far behind them
Good Luck..you should have a pretty good hunt this year...already feels like it might get cold this winter!
