Unit 55

Windybilly33 · Nov 25, 2017

Hey my buddy and I are headed up to Idaho for a late season archery hunt for unit 55. Does anyone have any experience hunting this unit? If so would you mind helping us out on possibly where to go or avoid? We aren't looking for monsters, just meat for the freezers for the fam. Any information would be very much appreciated!!

I would concentrate on Sawmill and buckeye canyons....can't go wrong there.

If it's just meat you're after I highly recommend shooting a doe. They?re just about anywhere there. Easier to get to and pack out. Let the little bucks grow up. There?s deer in much of the lower country. Find public access, which is plentiful, and it shouldn't take too much hiking to get into deer. Good luck. It's a fun hunt I think.

Any luck with your archery buck in 55? Thinking about hunting it next year.
Thanks.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-06-17 AT 04:46AM (MST)[p]Mobertok We stayed up there for a week and saw a handful of deer. They all where too skidish to get on, there's a lot of rock so it's just about impossible to stay quit. I personally wouldn't put in for it again, but that's just me.
