900Square Miles

99.5%Public Land

5,200 - 9,100Elevation Range

This mountainous unit around Warm Lake in the Payette National Forest has good numbers of elk and mule deer and a small population of whitetail. There are not as many roads as in the McCall area units, which offers more hunting away from roads and trails.

This is not a good unit for hunters who like to ride roads because there are not very many and those that exist are usually well below the level at which elk and mule deer live during hunting seasons. A limited tag late deer season offers good success on mature bucks.

Quick Tips

Trout and steelhead fishing in forks of the Salmon River
Good trout fishing in Warm Lake
Kayaking and rafting in Johnson Creek rapids
