AI Scout Preview

ID 61 (Idaho). Terrain & Access ID 61 spans 507,000 acres across a high-elevation landscape (5,839–10,417 ft) with exceptional public-land access—nearly 89% of the unit is public. This mix of high country and mid-elevation terrain creates diverse habitat zones suitable for both upland and valley-bottom hunting. Road access is well-distributed across the unit, and hunters benefit from minimal private-land barriers to movement. The relatively small amount of private land (35,000 acres reported in the region) leaves ample room for unguided exploration. Trophy Potential Mule deer trophy records from the counties overlapping this unit show a declining trajectory..
