Idaho Deer Unit 48

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Idaho Game Management Unit 48.

Idaho Unit 48 is true high-mountain country on the western flank of the Sawtooth and Boise ranges, where deer hunters work a vertical world that runs from roughly 3,500 ft river canyons up past 9,000 ft ridge spines, with sustained climbs on side-hill grades over 30 percent. We map how the deer use it: bitterbrush and mountain mahogany browse on the lower south slopes, aspen pockets and old burn scars that hold the heaviest forage, and spring-fed seeps in north-aspect timber that stay reliable when surface creeks thin out in October. The pack includes Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose into onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
