Idaho Elk — Unit 72-1X
Idaho Unit 72-1X covers 268,669 acres and lies 16 miles north-west of Soda Springs and 36 miles east of Pocatello. 33% of it is public land, mostly state land (22%) and BLM (9%). A further 10% is tribal land rather than public land.
Your chance of drawing here
Idaho Department of Fish and Game has not offered an elk license in Unit 72-1X in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes it by name — the Idaho elk hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.
