| First time in the Selway. Big country...mostly wilderness. I'll be hunting with camp on my back. I'm researching the best access points to begin with. Any ideas on trailheads or drainages to check out? The Selway consists of units 16A, 17, 19, and 20. Anybody with experience in this area? I have an A Tag, which means October 1-31. Thanks for your input!

Welcome to Mossy Oak!
Sounds like a great hunt you have planned. I've heard a lot of good things about the Selway but have never hunted it. With camp on your back that should be quite the experience. I've thought about that a lot recently.
Best of luck out there!

Welcome to MO bud... Sounds like an awesome hunt! Good luck with it. I'd love to do that one day. Idaho is beautiful country, that's for sure. I spent about a week in Sun Valley but didn't get to hunt, but I saw Elk on a snow mobile trip we took.

| Thanks guys. It is going to be awesome. Right now I'm doing alot of map work and doing fly overs on Google Earth. It's pretty much all consuming...I love it! There is alot to learn.

I have been in the selway a few times. I was a safety kayaker on a selway river white water trip. We accesed the selway river from darby montana.
I have also hunted in unit 17 a few times. Mainly in the mid 90's before idaho changed the elk hunting. Depending on who you talk to, you will get a myraid of stuff on the wolves. All i am going to say on this is look in the deep timber for elk.
The selway is big and hard to get around. The mountains are treed and steep, be prepared for any and all types of weather. You will get snowed on in october and more than likely in september also.
We mainly accessed the area we hunted from hamilton montana.
I personally would not worry about the griz or wolfes. But i grew up here and don't get all worked up on the "stories" I would worry about the rattle snake though. But that is just me.
I do plan on doing a backpack mule deer hunt in septemeber in there.
