Bumper Elk Harvest Expected From Clearwater Herd

Idaho biologist Stewart Brandborg says the Clearwater Lochsa Selway elk complex could yield the largest harvest in state history. Early season totals near 500 elk in 10 days show a strong hunt with about one in three success, and last year’s harvest equaled roughly half of Idaho’s total. The herd is estimated at 20 000 to 25 000, peaking now and prompting calls to limit numbers to sustainable levels.

Early Season Waterfowl Outlook in Idaho Promises Mixed Prospects

Salter notes waterfowl hunting in Idaho hinges on native ducks and geese as Canada’s migrations lag. A mild previous winter boosted local hatch rates, suggesting good hunting if cold totals bring more birds south. Sunset hunting hours may lift success, but no big gains expected in bonus ducks or goose kills. Prime spots include Pen Oreille and Chatcolet lakes, Crane Creek and Cascade reservoirs, and the Snake River valley.
