39 is a great unit, I've hunted it my whole life. It has some of the highest peaks in Idaho and some of the most remote places in the state, and also some of the best foothill sagebrush hunting around as well. If you are looking at the archery hunt late in 39, I would hunt the eastern side of the unit. The deer winter all across that range from Lucky Peak resivor to Mountain Home and only a portion of that is in the boundary of the hunt. Those foothill canyons can be deceiving and you need to be prepared to hunt hard and work to find the bigger bucks. Wolves has also been spotted in the eastern part of 39.
