I'll give you a good hint.
Stop worrying about what other people are going to do. You can't control that.
Get on a map, find elk habitat conducive to the season. That preferred cover, food and water will be probably around a particular elevation band. If not, then they will be in draws, benches and around transitional ranges that support their diet and that other hunters aren't. Study biology reports and behavior information.
Make a plan on that map.
Then make 7 more.
If you skunk out, it shouldn't be from lack of trying or because other people were out hunting. The best kind of tag soup is when you know you did everything you could and you're driving home with no ragrets (regrets).
Idaho zones have a tremendous amount of public land. Get away from the roads. There's no reason to be on top of each other, or copy what isn't working for other people.
Do this and you will have a good time.
That said, if you ask the internet people will say there's no grizzlies in 66…I've seent them. So prepare accordingly.
