Sons first mule deer hunt

[curtisloyd12]

Looking for a good unit for my sons first mule deer hunt in Idaho. Hunted last season in 39 and it was a zoo! Looking at 76 because it seems to be not such a steep unit and success rates seem to be on the uptick. I just want him to have a good first experience with his first big game hunt. Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated

i have hunted 76 and it is heavily timbered unit and once Oct. comes those bucks get in to the thick timber. but if you and your son hunt hard enough and can get into certain pockets. you can find deer. it will be less pressure than 39. but there will still be some pressure

Thanks for the insight. Ended up with unit 75, Amy experience in that unit by chance?

Haven't been down there so can't help. Will say that very few people will help with direct information when you are new on here. Stick around, participate, and ask more directed questions with no units listed. Good luck to you guys.
