Idaho Elk Unit 6

St. Joe country sets Idaho Unit 6 apart: this is wet, inland-maritime timber in the Panhandle's northwest corner, not the dry high desert most out-of-state elk hunters picture. Picture the St. Joe River running east from St. Maries toward Avery, relentless timbered side-hills climbing from 2,400-foot valley bottoms to 6,500-foot boundary ridges, and the real story: over a century of logging has stitched hundreds of old clearcuts into mature timber, and that regrowth (grasses, forbs, and huckleberry brush) is where elk feed. Water is everywhere, so animals spread out rather than tie to it. The pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary.
