Cassia County Hunting Guide

Cassia County unit shares, both ways

Click a unit for its hunt numbers, harvest and season lines.

The county is divided among 5 units, led by Unit 55 with 40% of its land. Nearly all of Unit 55 falls within Cassia County.

Expect to cross into Twin Falls County on foot; 2 of these units run into it. Units 55, 54, 56 and 57 are missing from the general bear season tables, so do not assume a general bear season there.

Unit shares from the IDFG Game Units layer overlaid on Census county polygons (GIS shares of land area, both ways); elk zone of each unit from the IDFG Elk Zones layer; wolf zones from the IDFG Wolf Zones layer; CWD units from the 2026 brochure; bear tables from the 2026 brochure.
