Bull tag?

Idaho kills some whoppers every year.

If you are hiking the mountains be sure to take care of your feet. Change socks often, apply bandages as needed. Blisters ruined the hunts of many people that I've elk hunted with.

Where exactly? Which direction from Idaho Falls. I know that area well and can give you better guidance.

Super jealous. Idaho is the most underrated state in the union.

High quality pair of binoculars. You stare through them all day and cheap binos will give you a headache.

On my first trip to MT besides my normal hunting stuff I bring everywhere including safety gear, I was really glad I had:
Sunblock
Blister block
Blister kit including tape
Wet wipes.
100 oz hydration bladder, you will drink much more water at altitude.
Food, 10 miles of hiking in the mountains will burn some calories

Things I wished I had brought:
Chapstick, lips were bleeding after 3,4 days it is so dry up there.
Eye drops
Trekking poles, the downs just kill my knees with a heavy pack

Don't forget your license and tags and ALL permits required.
