Idaho unit temperatures in August?

[anglerfromthewest]

Idaho resident but I've only hunted the Owyhee September archery tag. Can anybody here weigh in on how hot (in degrees Fahrenheit) the Smokey-Bennett units (44,45,48,52) tend to be in August, in the parts where antelope are to be found? Anywhere with a snowball's chance of staying under 90F the last two weeks of August?

I have hunted up around Fairfield in August a few times, daytime highs could stay below 90 in the last couple weeks of August but it’s not likely

Hunted all those units pretty sure they are all draw units for antelope except 45 ( I’m unsure) so maybe double check the regs if you are planning on going after them.

It will be hot. Best thing you can do is have a cooler full of ice bc you will want to get that meat cooled immediately.

I have seen antelope in all of those units… best thing you can do is some pre season scouting.

Good luck!

For late summer, it's fairly nice. Hot days (90's), cool nights (60's). You can get a pretty good sunburn up high. As in all mountainous areas, you can get violent storms roll in but generally dry. About what you'd expect.
