26 August Sleeping Deer Road is Closed to ALL Access. August 26, 2006By George McQuiston Announcements 0 Sleeping Deer Road (the main access to our area) is closed until further notice! We have spoken to several people in the Challis area and they are reporting ash falling from the sky as well as heavy smoke reducing visibility in the city itself. Hopefully, Mother Nature will cooperate and bring an early storm so that we can go enjoy our planned hunting adventures, but more importantly that the residents of Challis will not have to endure these miserable conditions any longer. We are keeping the people involved with fighting these fires in our thoughts and prayers so that they may return home safely to their loved ones very soon.

Successful applicants will be notified by July 10, and tags must be purchased by August 1. Tags not purchased by August 1 will be forfeited to a second application period, which runs from August 5 to August 15. New Idaho Youth Deer Hunting Opportunity Because of some recent changes in antlerless deer tags allowed in our area and recent Idaho laws changed involving private lands, Idaho and specifically Wild Idaho Outfitters is able to offer a new and unique youth deer hunting opportunity. Late Season Mule Deer Hunts during the rut! 2018 was a year of changes in Idaho, but then again, what year isn’t. One of the changes that took place was that the fish and game commission changed the late season mule deer hunt from an unlimited controlled hunt to a controlled hunt for nonresidents citing backcountry airstrip crowding as the reason for needing to do it.
