Will be in Idaho GMU 12 May 20-30

I will be doing some bear hunting in GMU 12 sometime between May 20-30. I've never been there, so this will be more of an exploratory trip than anything else. A chance to hike and camp with a gun.

I know that area gets a lot of snow, and north facing roads can still be buried, but in general how are the roads there at the end of May? I really can't say exactly where I plan to go as I will wing it once I get into the area. I'll probably be somewhere in the middle of the GMU off HWY 12.

Any areas to definitely avoid? If you see a black taco with a white shell and Arkansas plates, stop into say hi. If I'm stuck, please stop to pull me out!

There's good chance I'll park off the main road and hike up a drainage that looks remote but hikable.

 

Probably better to post in the Idaho BS thread

 

Go fish Kelly Creek if fly fishing is at all on your radar. It's the bees knees.

 

I thought of that, but hate to post in a thread that seems more for the locals.

 

I moved up my trip a bit. I hope to be in the area by the 16th and plan to spend anywhere from 5 to 10 days there. Can't wait.
