Mule Deer Hunting in Unit 52

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's material on unit 52 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its mule deer live. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln counties. It runs to about 818 square miles.

How Idaho Fish and Game sets up mule deer hunting in unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's unit layer marks unit 52 "No Regular Deer Tag Opportunity", so deer here are hunted on controlled hunts rather than a general tag.

What bounds unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game describes unit 52 as those portions of Blaine, Camas, Gooding, And Lincoln counties within the following boundary: beginning at Gooding, then north on State Highway 46 to U.S. 20, then east on U.S. 20 to Carey, then southwest on U.S. 93 to Shoshone, then west on U.S. 26 to the point of beginning. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.

High ground inside the line: Skeeter Point, Picabo Hills and Twin Oaks

Named high points inside the unit include Skeeter Point at 6,314 feet, Picabo Hills at 6,054 feet, Twin Oaks at 5,904 feet, Crows Nest at 5,862 feet and Horse Mountain at 5,765 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Mule deer on open country use every fold and draw there is, and almost none of the flat.

Holding ground: Macon Flat, Tieter Canyon and Rye Grass Flat

Below them sit Macon Flat at 4,922 feet, Tieter Canyon at 4,909 feet, Rye Grass Flat at 4,904 feet, Sonners Flat at 4,890 feet and Mahoney Flat at 4,819 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Water: Spud Patch Spring, Picabo Town Spring and Sagebrush Spring

The water inside the unit line comes to 74 mapped stream reaches, 7 lakes, 38 stock tanks and 9 springs. Named sources include Spud Patch Spring, Picabo Town Spring, Sagebrush Spring, Pasco Spring, Ditch Spring and Tipton Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Reading the land status

Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 85% and BLM 15%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. Named ground inside unit 52 runs from 3,946 feet to 6,314 feet. Those are the heights of the features GNIS names, which bound the range from inside rather than measure it.

Unit 52 terrain and land status

Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up

The lay of it

3,616–5,691 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 4,671 ft ; peaks can run higher.
818.4 sq mi inside the boundary. Big enough that picking one drainage beats driving three.

Who owns the ground

BLM — 15%
Private / Other — 85%

Roughly 15% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.

Water on the ground

38 tanks
9 springs
74 stream segments
7 lakes

Counts from mapping data, so this is how many exist, not how many hold water in a dry year. Sitting water only pays where you find fresh tracks.

Named features inside the unit

Glass from: Skeeter Point (6,314 ft), Twin Oaks (5,904 ft), Horse Mountain (5,765 ft), Timmerman Hills (5,724 ft)

Holding ground: Long Gulch (5,221 ft), Macon Flat (4,922 ft), Rye Grass Flat (4,904 ft), Spud Patch Spring, Picabo Town Spring

Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

How to Hunt Mule Deer in Unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's own harvest estimates put deer success in unit 52 at 7% across all manners of take. A number that low means most hunters here go home empty, and the ones who don't put the days in first. The plan: glass the broken edges at first light, then sit still and keep glassing the same ground.

The 2026 controlled hunts in unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's 2026 rules list 4 controlled hunts for mule deer on unit 52 under its own number.

Hunt 1041 — antlered deer, 75 tags, Oct 5–Oct 31. Motorized Hunting Rule Applies
Hunt 1078 — archery only deer, 10 tags, Aug 15–Sep 14. Antlered only, Motorized Hunting Rule Applies
Hunt 1091 — muzzleloader only deer, 25 tags, Nov 1–Nov 14. Antlered only, Motorized Hunting Rule Applies
Hunt 1176 — outfitter allocation deer, antlered deer only, 1 tag, Nov 1–Nov 14. Muzzleloader only Motorized Hunting Rule Applies

Dates and tag numbers are IDFG's as printed for that season, and IDFG changes hunt areas between years, so check the current booklet before you apply.

Applying for a unit 52 tag

Idaho Fish and Game's first application period for deer, elk and pronghorn runs May 1 to June 5, with results in early July, and a second period runs August 5 to 15 for what is left. A hunter drawn for a limited antlered-only deer hunt sits out the next year's first period for that kind of hunt; unlimited and extra hunts are exempt. Two to four hunters may apply together for the same hunt. Idaho's draw is random, with no preference or bonus points to build.

Glassing from Queens Crown, Clay Bank Hills and Rattlesnake Butte

Take a position on one of Queens Crown (5,563 ft), Clay Bank Hills (5,394 ft), Rattlesnake Butte (5,359 ft) and Ditto Hill (5,347 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. A tripod is worth more here than another hour of walking. On the rut hunts, late-season hunts put bucks with doe groups and moving in daylight.

Water against feed

There are 74 mapped stream reaches and 38 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. Sitting water works where you can see fresh tracks going in, and nowhere else.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Season normals here run Sep 78/45°F, Oct 63/34°F and Nov 47/25°F. Warm afternoons compress the hunting into the first and last hour, and make meat care the day's real problem rather than the shot. Precipitation runs about 0.5 in. in Sep, 0.9 in. in Oct and 1 in. in Nov, and the graded gravel in this unit turns greasy wet.

Getting past the roads: ID 46 and US 93 / US 26

ID 46, US 93 / US 26 and US 20 are the paved frame, which is also where everyone else starts. There is little true four-wheel-drive road here, so distance from the gravel is the only thing separating you from the next hunter.

Idaho rules that decide your day

Summarised from IDFG regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Idaho has no general off-road retrieval allowance on federal ground; stay on designated routes.

Tagging

Validate the tag by cutting out the month and day, and attach it to the carcass before moving it.

Leaving meat

Wasting edible meat is illegal.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No shooting from or across a public highway, and no shooting toward an occupied dwelling.

Mule Deer: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body.

Shots to refuse

Nothing behind or overlapping the animal you picked.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have shot a three-shot group into a paper plate from the rest you are carrying.
Pass the shot you are talking yourself into.

Plan the carry: roughly 40– 120 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two large coolers. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

Mule Deer Success Rates

Idaho Fish and Game's 2025 harvest estimates put deer success in unit 52 at 7% — 5 animals taken by 68 hunters. The hunter count is large enough for the percentage to mean something and small enough that a good or bad year still moves it. The figure is IDFG's result for deer in the unit, not for mule deer alone.

These are the agency's own printed figures for this unit, not a modelled estimate and not a state average. They describe one season, so check Idaho Fish and Game's current harvest estimates before you read a trend into them.

Mule Deer Draw Odds

Season	Tags	Applicants	Draw %	Pts (n/p)
Controlled — 1st Drawing either sex (resident)	68	878	8.0%	—
Controlled — 1st Drawing either sex (nonresident)	7	152	5.0%	—
Controlled — 2nd Drawing either sex (resident)	1	101	1.0%	—
Controlled — 2nd Drawing either sex (nonresident)	0	8	0.0%	—

Data from 2025 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.

Open in Draw Odds Engine

Idaho Fish and Game's 2025 first drawing for mule deer in unit 52, with residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different tag pools:

Hunt 1041 — residents 878 applicants for 68 tags, 8% drawn; nonresidents 152 applicants for 7 tags, 5% drawn
Hunt 1091 — residents 158 applicants for 23 tags, 15% drawn; nonresidents 45 applicants for 2 tags, 4% drawn
Hunt 1078 — residents 26 applicants for 9 tags, 35% drawn; nonresidents 9 applicants for 1 tag, 11% drawn

Idaho draws at random with no point system, so these are what that year happened to look like, not a requirement to build toward. Idaho Fish and Game reuses hunt numbers for different areas between years, so the figures are matched on the area each hunt had in 2025. Checked against Idaho Fish and Game's hunt planner draw results on 2026-06-09.

Elk Hunting in Unit 52

Unit 52 lies in Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln counties and covers about 818 square miles. Named ground inside it runs from 3,946 to 6,314 feet. Idaho Fish and Game's harvest estimates put elk success here as high as 4%. Federal land covers about 79% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Elk in Unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's material on unit 52 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its elk live. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln counties. It runs to about 818 square miles.

How Idaho Fish and Game sets up elk hunting in unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game runs its general elk seasons by elk management zone rather than unit by unit, and puts unit 52 in the Smoky - Bennett Zone, so the zone's tag rules are the ones that apply here.

What bounds unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game describes unit 52 as those portions of Blaine, Camas, Gooding, And Lincoln counties within the following boundary: beginning at Gooding, then north on State Highway 46 to U.S. 20, then east on U.S. 20 to Carey, then southwest on U.S. 93 to Shoshone, then west on U.S. 26 to the point of beginning. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.

High ground inside the line: Timmerman Hills, Johnson Hill and Wedge Butte

Named high points inside the unit include Timmerman Hills at 5,724 feet, Johnson Hill at 5,666 feet, Wedge Butte at 5,582 feet, Queens Crown at 5,563 feet and Clay Bank Hills at 5,394 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Elk on low, open country live on distance and visibility, so they see you first.

Holding ground: Lava Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon and Timber Gulch

Below them sit Lava Canyon at 4,811 feet, Rattlesnake Canyon at 4,358 feet, Timber Gulch at 4,294 feet, The Thorns at 4,155 feet and Long Gulch at 5,221 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Water: Metcalf Spring, Gwin Spring and Rattlesnake Spring

The water inside the unit line comes to 74 mapped stream reaches, 7 lakes, 38 stock tanks and 9 springs. Named sources include Metcalf Spring, Gwin Spring, Rattlesnake Spring, Tom Gooding Spring, Pofferman Spring and Clay Bank Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

How to Hunt Elk in Unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's own harvest estimates put elk success in unit 52 at 4% across all manners of take. A number that low means most hunters here go home empty, and the ones who don't put the days in first. The plan: find the feed, find the timber it backs onto, then watch the seam between them at the edges of the day.

The 2026 controlled hunts in unit 52

Idaho Fish and Game's 2026 rules list 2 controlled hunts for elk on unit 52 under its own number.

Hunt 2033 — antlered elk, 50 tags, Oct 1–Oct 31. Motorized Hunting Rule Applies
Hunt 2115 — either sex elk, 25 tags, Dec 1–Dec 31

Dates and tag numbers are IDFG's as printed for that season, and IDFG changes hunt areas between years, so check the current booklet before you apply.

Applying for a unit 52 tag

Idaho Fish and Game's first application period for deer, elk and pronghorn runs May 1 to June 5, with results in early July, and a second period runs August 5 to 15 for what is left. A hunter drawn for a limited antlered-only elk hunt sits out the next year's first period for that kind of hunt; unlimited and extra hunts are exempt. Two to four hunters may apply together for the same hunt. Idaho's draw is random, with no preference or bonus points to build.

Glassing from Dinosaur Ridge, Black Butte Hills and Wind Ridge

Take a position on one of Dinosaur Ridge (5,176 ft), Black Butte Hills (5,114 ft), Wind Ridge (4,996 ft) and Kinzie Butte (4,936 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. Glass the edges first, then the shaded timber, then the edges again as the light goes. On the rut hunts, September bugling works where you can get above a drainage and let the thermals carry sound downhill.

Water against feed

There are 74 mapped stream reaches and 38 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. A tank with no tracks is a tank with no reason to sit on it.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No shooting from or across a public highway, and no shooting toward an occupied dwelling.

Elk: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body. That is lungs, and on a quartering-away angle it picks up the far shoulder.

Shots to refuse

No straight-on and no straight-away shots. An elk's chest is deep and the margin is small.
Nothing standing behind or overlapping the animal you picked. A pass-through kills the elk behind it too.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have put three shots in a paper plate off the sticks you are actually carrying. Not the farthest you have ever hit anything.
Scope on 3–4x. A herd fills a 12x field of view and you lose the animal you picked.

Identification:On an antlerless tag, legal means no antler of any kind through the skin. A spike looks exactly like a cow until it turns its head. If you can't see the head, don't shoot.

Plan the carry: roughly 150– 220 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two to four large coolers, plus bagged ice from town. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.
