Hunters reviewing Idaho's Unit 22 found it to feature diverse terrain, with some areas proving challenging due to rugged and steep landscapes. The unit offers a variety of game, though some hunters noted that population densities can be inconsistent, potentially requiring strategic scouting and planning. Seasonality plays a crucial role, as patterns of game movement and availability often shift with weather changes, particularly in the higher elevations. Drawing advice emphasizes the importance of understanding draw odds and conducting thorough research to improve success chances, showing a trend towards experienced hunters benefitting most from this knowledge.
This area along the Oregon border offers hunting for elk, mule deer and whitetail deer. Hunters with over-the-counter tags can not shoot mature muleys, but hunters who draw tags enjoy excellent hunting for big muleys.
This unit is known for trophy size mule deer, which can be hunted during the rut in November by hunters who draw controlled tags.
