My brother and I are planning a trip to central Idaho this fall. We are thinking of going for opening week of mule deer(gun). We are primarily whitetail bowhunters. I'm going to use a 30-06. My brother has a 7mm. We're going with our Uncle who lives out there. What kind of hunting tactics would you guys suggest? Is it a good time to go? Should I look into also getting an elk tag? What yardages are normal? Load size? I don't need to shoot something to have a enjoyable hunt, but would like to give us the opportunity to harvest an animal.
thanks
