Unit 54 has a strong population of mule deer, so during the course of your hunt we will look over high numbers of mule deer giving you ample opportunities at harvesting your trophy. Due to the quantity of deer, unit 54 is a great hunt area for first time hunters as well as seasoned hunters looking to take a nice trophy mule deer.
If lucky enough to draw a late season tag opening Nov. 15th you will be hunting the absolute best two weeks of mule deer season, when the rut is in full swing. This hunt is one for the books.
Archery season is an unlimited hunt. This is an exciting hunt for archery hunters. Again you will see high numbers of mule deer. This country is extremely diverse providing great cover for not only the animals but also for us bow hunters using nature as our camouflage to get in close.
Here at Deadline Outfitters there’s nothing we enjoy more than seeing the next generation of hunters taking part and enjoying the love for hunting that so many of us share. We are working with Idaho fish and game to encourage our young hunters and help them get started with a good hunting experience. The draw odds are extremely high for a youth mule deer tag in unit 54. With discounted prices for a non-resident youth hunting license & deer tag it makes it very affordable to put in and get your young hunter excited about hunting
A Mule deer is an ultimate trophy to add to your hunting collection.

IDAHO MOUNTAIN LION HUNTS
Unit 54 | Season Opens December 1
While many hunters are putting away their gear for the year, our mountain lion season is just getting started.
Mountain lion hunting in Idaho’s Unit 54 offers an entirely different kind of adventure—winter mountains, fresh snow, experienced hounds, and the anticipation of cutting a big tom track. It’s a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled hunt and one of our favorite seasons of the year. Our mountain lion season opens December 1 and runs through the end of March, although our hunts typically wrap up by mid-February depending on harvest quotas, snow conditions, and the availability of good tracking conditions.
Unit 54 supports a strong deer population and excellent mountain lion habitat. These cats are incredibly elusive and rarely seen in the wild, making the opportunity to pursue one with hounds a truly unique hunting experience. Winter snow gives us the advantage we need to locate fresh tracks and determine whether we have a mature tom worth pursuing.
We cover country using 4-wheel-drive vehicles and snowmobiles, allowing us to search a tremendous amount of terrain. When we cut the right track, the hunt changes quickly. Our experienced hounds are turned loose, and the chase is on.
Our hounds are at the heart of every mountain lion hunt we offer. We work with them year-round, keeping them conditioned, experienced, and ready for winter. Their drive, athleticism, and ability to work a track through rugged country are incredible to witness firsthand. We have tremendous respect for these dogs and the role they play in every successful hunt.
This is more than a late-season hunt—it’s an opportunity to experience one of the West’s most exciting traditions alongside experienced guides and a hardworking pack of hounds. If you're looking to extend your hunting season and experience Idaho winter lion hunting for yourself, come chase cats with Deadline Outfitters.
