Idaho Elk Unit 15

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Idaho Game Management Unit 15.

Idaho's Unit 15 wraps the town of Elk City where the South Fork Clearwater River carves a deep canyon through the heart of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, and that vertical spread is the whole game for elk: several thousand feet of relief between a 1,500-foot canyon floor and ridge crests past 7,000 near Anderson Butte and Black Hawk Mountain. We map how elk stack up that gradient, from north-facing timber and huckleberry regrowth in old burns to the mid-mountain benches they work as frosts cure the forage. The pack covers 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 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.
