Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Game Management Unit (GMU)?
Roam Idaho organizes 100 published unit records for planning. These boundaries are used to manage wildlife populations, set season dates, and allocate tags. It is critical to know exactly which unit you are in while hunting, as regulations often change across unit lines (e.g., antler restrictions or season dates).
How do Elk Zones work?
For Elk hunting, units are grouped into "Zones" (e.g., the Panhandle Zone includes Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 4A, 5, 6, 7, and 9). When you buy a general elk tag, you typically select a specific zone, which authorizes you to hunt in any of the units within that zone during the open season. Some zones are "capped," meaning there is a limited number of tags available for sale.
Where can I see the unit boundaries?
Roam Idaho provides digital boundary overlays across 100 published unit records. Pro members can open the connected hunting map with GMU boundaries, BLM surface-management context, terrain tools, weather, wind, and current wildfire overlays. It does not currently provide parcel ownership or dependable offline downloads.
