The Hells Canyon units are controlled for deer. I think 13 is the easiest to draw., because access is tough with most of the stuff on top being private. Most of the deer are up high anyhow, but it is pretty tough to hunt Hells Canyon from the bottom. 18 is your best bet. Not terribly tough to draw, but the unit crams a load of hunters together, as there are usually three or four overlapping seasons at any given point. It really is a fun float trip or jet-tour. The jet option is just a day-trip, but you can usually get on a boat for about $100-$150 per person as opposed to a multi-day trip (usually 4-5 for lower Salmon) that will run well over a grand per person. Best of luck. The Hells Canyon units in Idaho (22,18,13,11) are awesome.
