Frequently Asked Questions

How is Unit 10-2 different from 10A-2?
They are different controlled-hunt codes within the broader Clearwater country, each with its own boundary and tag allocation. Confirm specific boundaries in the IDFG Hunt Planner before the application window.
Is Unit 10-2 a DIY-friendly hunt?
Yes for hunters with timber-country experience. Logging-road access is strong; the challenge is the dense cedar-fir cover that hides moose until you're right on top of them.
