I grew up west of Blackfoot and have hunted unit 50 all my life. I say every year that i'm not going back but somehow I end up out there at least once or twice during the season. We've seen quite a few deer in the past several years but no big ones to speak of. We've quit taking our horses out there because there is a 4-wheeler road on almost every ridge now. That being said I love that country and there are still big deer in that unit. I saw one this summer that I hope I see again next month. Since I know you live out of state now i'll post a picture to remind you what it looks like! Just like anywhere else, if you get away from the roads the deer are there.
Yeah i've spent a lot of time in 51 also. The elk herds in both of those units are struggling right now. I still see a few decent ones out there though. Awesome country to look at, awful steep.
