Not a new hunter to Idaho but this will be my first time with Unit 39. Looking for peoples thoughts on this unit. I know its busy, i know theres a lot of animals. I will be solo hunting deep and steep so im not worried about other people so much. Migration hunt depending on when in october i go? ideally would go last week of Oct. Appreciate any input.

If you don't plan on road hunting, you'll be in the chips. Like you said, lots of people but if you are getting away from the roads you be in deer. Good luck.

I'm not sure if there is deep or steep enough to get away from hunters there.  Expect company no matter where you go there.  Lots of game though.   I'm not sure how long that will last, but there is a crazy amount of wildlife there for the pressure it gets.

Not only that, but Idaho hunters will follow you right up a ridge and if you stop to glass they’ll walk right passed you.  So don’t think you’ll walk away from anybody in that unit.

Very crowded, gets worse every year. Used to be I could hike back four miles and hardly see anyone. Now there's a dozen people back four miles with me. Get away from roads, get away from trails. If you see a big, steep, nasty looking mountain you don't want to climb, that's a good place to start. There is lots of game, just lots of people too. Go where they don't want to and you'll see the game.
