ID Mule Deer Unit 45

ID 45 — Terrain, Access & Hunt Character Terrain & Access ID 45 spans 815,688 acres across a steep elevation gradient—from 2,457 ft to 7,437 ft—creating diverse mule deer habitat across lower brush country, mid-elevation mixed forest, and high alpine terrain. Nearly 70% public land provides solid hunting access, though the unit's size and vertical relief demand physical fitness and route-finding skill. Terrain becomes increasingly remote and rugged at higher elevations; lower foothills and canyon country offer more accessible glassing and travel. Hunt Character This is a physically demanding, self-sufficient hunt suited to hunters comfortable with steep, varied terrain..
