Idaho Unit 61-1 covers 252,976 acres and lies 42 miles north-east of St. Anthony and 53 miles north-east of Rexburg. 88% of it is public land, mostly national forest (79%) and state land (5%). In 2022, 18 people hunted pronghorn here and took 11 — 61% of them killed something.
Your chance of drawing here
Idaho Department of Fish and Game has not offered a pronghorn license in Unit 61-1 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Idaho pronghorn hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone
What Idaho Department of Fish and Game publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Idaho Department of Fish and Game publishes these per hunt rather than per unit; the rows below add its own figures together, since a hunter holds one tag for the species in a season. Idaho's figures are counts from mandatory hunter reports and check stations rather than survey estimates, so they behave differently from the survey states.
| Season | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 18 | 11 | 61% |
| 2021 | 15 | 4 | 27% |
