Idaho Elk Unit 61

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Idaho Game Management Unit 61.

Elk here live on top of one of the continent's largest volcanic calderas: a high, cold plateau of dense lodgepole timber and spring-fed meadows, rimmed to the north by the Centennial Mountains along the Continental Divide. The caldera floor runs near 5,900 to 6,400 feet before climbing to 9,884-foot Sawtell Peak, and because the Henrys Fork, Henrys Lake, and a web of spring-fed creeks keep water everywhere, elk stay spread out rather than stacked on it. Our pack breaks it down across 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.
