Idaho Cougar Hunting Guides and Outfitters

Idaho is considered one of the Mountain states, and is bounded by Canada in the north, Montana and Wyoming on the east, Utah and Nevada on the south, and Washington and Oregon on the west. The climate is normally dry, but can reach temperatures of over 100 degrees in the summer. With over 83,000 square miles it has much to offer the hunter. The Idaho hunting guides and outfitters listed should be able to help you plan your next trip.

In the southern and western sections of Idaho midsummer temperatures have been known to reach 112 degrees, but the dry air tends to moderate the effect of the heat. The winters in this sheltered area are mild, and the temperature, owing to equable winds from the Pacific, seldom falls below zero. The northern and eastern sections experience their greatest extremes in winter, when the temperature there may drop to 30 degrees below zero.

The Rocky Mountains and the Plains cover the state. The Rocky Mountains cover the greater part of Idaho south of the panhandle. The highest of the state’s peaks is Mount Borah at 12,655 feet, in the Lost River Range. The south-central and western sections of the state are included in the Columbia Plateau. This gigantic uplift was once covered with lava flows, which became so warped and faulted that the surface is today covered with innumerable ridges, crevices, dikes, and batholiths. The state offers much to a hunter and should be taken advantage of on your next trip.

Many types of small game and big game animals can be hunted in the state. You should be able to find an Idaho hunting guide or outfitter to help in your next trip.
