Hunters in Idaho's Unit 51 appreciate its varied terrain but emphasize the challenges posed by its ruggedness and sparse vegetation, which can complicate both navigation and spotting game. Draw odds indicate a competitive nature, suggesting the unit is popular, potentially due to its healthy deer and elk populations observed by several hunters. Comments encourage scouting early and physically preparing for the unit's demanding landscape. Additionally, understanding seasonal game movements can significantly improve success rates, underscoring the importance of thorough pre-hunt research and preparation.
This unit produces a few moose every year in the Little Lost River Valley north of Howe and parts of the Lemhi and Lost River ranges.
This area provides hunters with good success rates and good opportunities for nice representative bulls.
