Cecil D. Andrus WMA is located in Idaho’s Washington County, northwest of the town of Cambridge. From the town of Cambridge on US Highway 95, take State Highway 71 northwest about 19 miles from Cambridge to the WMA. Mule deer and elk are the most common big game animals. A small band of big horn sheep are frequently found on the WMA and they are most visible during winter months. Black bears are year-round residents. Mountain lion and bobcat occur here too, but are seldom seen due to their secretive nature. Other animals living here include coyote, red squirrel, weasel, cottontail rabbit, rubber boa and rattlesnake. Upland game species are abundant and include chukar, gray partridge, ruffed and blue grouse, wild turkey and California quail. Golden eagles are year-round residents, and bald eagles are seen along Brownlee Reservoir during winter. Red-tailed hawks, northern harriers and American kestrels are commonly seen soaring across open hillsides. Most activity on the WMA begins in early September, starting with the opening of grouse and chukar seasons, and continues through the end of the year. Note: While motorized vehicles are allowed access to the WMA, gate key reservations may be made through the WMA headquarters starting September 1 at 7:00am. Reservations for the big game and upland game seasons fill up quickly so plan your hunts ahead to ensure a key will be available. Wildlife viewing, hiking, biking and horseback riding are also popular activities. Most fishing occurs on adjacent Brownlee Reservoir. Idaho Power’s Woodhead Park on Brownlee Reservoir and McCormick Park below Brownlee Dam, and the USFS Brownlee Guardstation Campground in the Payette National Forest provide camping facilities for those who visit the WMA.
