Unit 10A in Idaho has generated various insights from the hunting community, particularly emphasizing its rugged terrain and mixed forest cover, which can be challenging to navigate but rewarding for those willing to put in the effort. Hunters have noted that understanding elk movement patterns and timing, particularly during rutting season, enhances success rates. The unit has decent elk and deer populations, but success often hinges on pre-trip scouting and adapting to fluctuating weather patterns. Hunters recommend utilizing glassing techniques in opening meadows and along ridges for improved spotting, as patience and persistence are key to a fruitful hunt in this unit.
This area is also known as the Dworshak Elk Management Zone and has good numbers of elk, whitetail and low numbers of mule deer.
This unit has mixed land ownership. A lot of roads, ATV trails and over-the-counter deer and elk tags result in crowded hunting sometimes. There are not a lot of mule deer here.
