Zone 48 takes in the high desert north and west of Twin Falls, including the country between the Snake River Plain and the foothills of the Sawtooth NF. Elevations run from about 3,500 feet on the plain to over 6,800 feet on the higher benches. The country is classic Snake River Plain—sagebrush, lava rock, and irrigated agriculture on the lower flats, climbing through juniper and mahogany into doug fir and aspen pockets on the highest north slopes. The Bennett Mountains form the northern boundary. BLM, state endowment land, and Sawtooth NF cover the public ground, with private agricultural land dominating the lower country. Highway 20 and various county roads provide access. Twin Falls is the supply hub with everything a hunter could need; Hailey and Mountain Home are alternates. Cell service is good near towns and weakens in the backcountry. Mule deer is the primary draw, using the sage-mahogany transitions and the agricultural edges. Pronghorn live on the open sage. The country is moderate-difficulty and accessible, which means pressure during the season; mid-week hunts pay. Wind is constant and water sources are concentrated at stock tanks and irrigation features.
