We like this hunt for hunters chasing a mature buck pronghorn in wide-open country with solid public access. Tags are drawn through Idaho's pure random lottery.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Hunt 60A-1

Pronghorn in Unit 60A use the sage flats and rolling benches with seasonal shifts tied to feed and water.

Sage Flats

Open sage flats at 4,800-5,500 feet hold bachelor buck groups and doe herds through the hunt. Glass from high points.

Water Sources

Stock tanks and reservoir edges pull pronghorn in dry years. Scout these ahead of the hunt.

Ridge Break Edges

Where rolling benches transition to deeper draws, bucks bed in the sage and mahogany — still-hunt the tops into the wind.
