Idaho remains a sleeper state for hunters with big bulls on the brain. Full of public land and host to a healthy elk herd, Idaho also offers licenses on a first-come, first-served basis. Check out:
20. Unit 1 in the Kanisku National Forest, portions of which have less severe terrain than some of Idaho's more rugged units.
21. Unit 6 in the Clearwater and St. Joe National Forest where, in some years, archery success rates approach 20%.
22. Unit 23 in the Payette National Forest, known for producing mature bulls and incredible scenery.
Licenses and Tags: Before you go, check out the Idaho Fish & Game website's "Hunt Planner", which details excellent and current hunting/access iNational Forestormation.
