Idaho Deer Unit 6

St. Joe country separates Idaho's Unit 6 from the dry high desert most out-of-state deer hunters expect: this is wet, timbered, inland-maritime mountain country built around the St. Joe River as it runs east from St. Maries toward Avery. Most huntable ground rides between 2,500 and 4,000 feet before boundary ridges top out near 6,500, and the real story is regrowth, hundreds of old logging clearcuts flush with grass, forbs, and huckleberry that pull feeding activity off the closed-canopy timber. Water is everywhere, not scarce, so deer spread out rather than tie to sources. The pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary.
