My friend and I are planning a western "combo" hunt " for fall 06 and welcome all advice and suggestions.

We are avid eastern hunters (archery, rifle and muzzle.) I lived in Idaho numerous years ago and am leaning to the central part of that state...but I welcome information.

I's also appreciate information on drop camps (to save costs) vs. guided. We are rugged guys and may welcome the challenge.

The process to obtain tags is vastly different than that of our current states of PA / WV, so info. in this area also appreciated. In essence, we are experienced hunters/campers, but novices when considering this venture. Please provide all advice/comments/suggestions/ warnings and/or references.

Thanks in davance - Mike and Kevin.
