ID Mule Deer Unit 48

ID 48 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access ID 48 spans rugged high-country terrain, ranging from mid-elevation foothills at 4,800 ft to alpine peaks exceeding 11,600 ft. With 87% public land and significant acreage, the unit offers extensive huntable country with minimal private-land barriers. The elevation range supports diverse habitat—lower sagebrush and mixed-conifer zones transitioning to high-elevation timber and alpine meadows—giving hunters flexibility to adjust elevation as season and weather shift. Access is primarily via maintained roads and trail networks; the unit's public-land concentration makes self-guided hunting logistically feasible for those willing to put in effort. Trophy..
