[QUOTE="Buckmaster81, post: 95176, member: 202"] Well we spent 5 days in Idaho but did not bring home a bear yet I still consider the trip a great success! In total we saw 8 bears of which 2 were shooters. The largest bear was a coal black dark muzzled giant that had we taken would have been magazine cover worthy! Closing the distance in the mountains proved to be tough as the bears were only out the 1st and last hour of daylight. Northern Idaho is incredibly steep although not extremely high. Average elevation of the area we hunted was around 5900' and the highest peaks were 6985'. The sheer thickness of the forest out there is unbelievable dictating that one must find and hunt edges of clear-cuts. Over the length of trip we saw 8 moose, many elk (100+) a mountain goat, blue grouse, ruff grouse, mule deer, and even some whitetail at 6500' which I found odd.
