Idaho Game Management Unit 40 Antelope

Area 40 regulates hunting opportunities for antelope in Idaho and covers 2,261 square miles. Public lands comprise 1,509 square miles (67%) of the total land covered by this game management unit. The greater region is best serviced by Boise, Nampa, and Meridian. The elevation of the region ranges from a low of 2,200 feet to a high of 8,200 feet above sea level. Wildfires have burned nearly 404 acres here in the last two years, providing opportunities for new vegetation and attracting a variety of wildlife. There are 3 trailheads that provide public gateways to these wilderness areas: Little Jacks Creek Wilderness Study Area, North Fork Owyhee River Wilderness Study Area, Pole Creek Wilderness Study Area. Additionally, 2 sites are open to the public for access to managed private lands.
