Got a quick question for the unit 39 hunters. I am planning on hunting 39 after hunting a unit farther north with which could not find any real good bucks. I've been scouting up high 7000-8000 ft and haven't really found anything worth pursuing. A few bucks in the 150 range. I know there are some good bucks in the unit. Do most of the deer migrate way back in by Atlanta or do alot of them stay closer. Just curious, I always here the good old boys talking about the deer that migrate out of the Sawtooths,,, thats like 70 miles away. Curious to know what other Idaho hunters think about this migration. Heads up if anyone is hunting the middle or main salmon this year for elk hit me up.
 
The answer is yes. A significant percentage of that herd migrates out of the Sawtooths. A couple old timers told me once that the migration out of the sawtooths down the middle and soutforks was the biggest mule deer migration in the world at one time. Not sure if thats true or not.

Also, plenty of bucks spend their time outside the sawtooths too. So actually, the real answer is prolly yes and no. There are good bucks spread throughout the unit but they are few and far between.
