There aren’t many tags left for ID. Plus, as of July 31, all the left over quota tags over are open to all to obtain 2nd tags. They should go quick?
I am looking at hunting in Aug/Sept 2019 so tags don't go on sale until Dec 31. I think I will get my tag pretty early. It is looking like Palisades or Tex Creek are the way to go. The guy from Elk Shape mentioned Pioneer Mountain as well, but I think I will stick to the eastern side of the state. Access looked pretty decent with quite a bit of camping.
My biggest concern is, at least according to the the interactive maps, there are tons of trails and forest roads through the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Seems like it would be pretty challenging to get away. You can see the image and what I am referring to. Maybe it is not as bad as it seems.
I do appreciate all the info. This has been a huge help in getting my research started. Have you guys talked to biologists or rangers in the area? I've seen it mentioned in other places, but it is not something I am familiar with as not very necessary for whitetail. Any recommendations on who to contact for the above mentioned part of ID? Is this something that you have to pay for?
Good luck to you Crabby!!!! Take some pictures - terrain, scenery, your trophy.
