Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game On x hunt

Here's a classic example of what OnX can get you. This map is in so. central Idaho. There are a lot elk in this area. The yellow is BLM, the green is state land, the red is private under Idaho's Access Yes program. The IDFG pays landowners to allow hunting and fishing. However, the landowner sets the rules. In this area, you can hunt but no motor vehicles and no overnight camping. To camp off of it, it's a 3 mile hike every day to get to where elk are likely to be and you have to hike back out every night. However, those pieces of public land are open to camping if you can locate them. You can backpack or use pack animals to get in and set up on a parcel of public land and be in the middle of some very good elk country.
