Idaho Deer Unit 48

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

Idaho's Unit 48 is the heart of the Smoky Mountains, a tall, narrow slab of the Sawtooth National Forest that runs about 41 miles north to south and climbs from roughly 5,300-foot valley bottoms near Ketchum to subalpine crests past 10,000 feet. For deer hunters, that vertical relief is the whole game: perennial creeks like Baker, Prairie, and Warm Springs feed a bio-zone stack where aspen and mountain-shrub seams meet the timber, and animals ride that band down as snow pushes them off the peaks. Our data pack breaks it all down: Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to 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.
