ID Lemhi Zone-Game Focal Areas

Idaho Lemhi Zone
Units 29, 37, 37A, 51

How to Use

For more specific information on this zone visit the ID Fish & Game website.

Game Focal Area layers are derived from a weighted proximity analysis based on road and trail type and conveniently packaged into digital layer files (KML format) that are easily uploaded into any hunt mapping app (OnX, GoHunt, GaiaGPS, etc) and Google Earth Pro. They can be viewed in 2D or 3D.

The layers highlight the focal areas that are more likely to hold game and incur less hunting pressure, therefore increasing your odds. This means you no longer have to take on the overwhelming task of countless hours behind a computer E-scouting in an attempt to locate hunt areas. Most of the work has been done for you!

There are 4 levels of focus to fit everyone's hunting style and abilities. (See table below for guidelines) As you go from Level 1 to Level 4, the focal areas decrease in size and abundance as the distance from roads and trails increase to hone in on the most remote spots. You will notice that some of the areas in the layers fall up to 2 miles outside the boundary of the zone you purchased to show probable areas in adjacent zones that may be holding game near the zone boundaries.

The download includes all Game Focal Area layers for the zone. Due to max upload sizes in OnX and GoHunt apps, some layers have been partitioned to meet those requirements. This generally occurs in Level 1 and Level 2 because of the larger file sizes. You may see a file ending in Level 1-1, Level 1-2, Level 1-3 etc. for this reason. Fortunately, Google Earth Pro and GaiaGPS doesn't have a max upload size.
