Idaho’s deer and elk hunting outlook for 2025 is notably optimistic, as statewide survival rates indicate robust herd growth. Most collared elk calves—82%—survived the last winter, compared to 58% for mule deer fawns, which represents a slight increase from their long-term average. This data suggests that more mule deer herds are on the rise, sparking interest among hunters looking to explore bountiful opportunities this coming season.
