The information below is general to all hunts. For specific information on Elk, Mountain Lion, or Mule Deer hunts, click the "links" above, but please read the information below first.

    On most hunts, you should plan to spend the night before and possibly the night after your hunt in Challis, Idaho. If you desire we can make hotel reservations for you.

Our base of operation will be out of Challis, Idaho. If you are planning on driving, this will be your destination. If you are planning on flying, you have 3 options of arrival airports. The most accessible to Challis are Idaho Falls, Boise, and Missoula, Montana. If flying, you should plan on renting a car and driving to Challis. You can pick the airport most suited to your connections and cost. We will provide additional information regarding travel plans once your hunt dates are confirmed.

The fee for a non-hunter accompanying a hunter on any hunt is one-half the cost of the hunt.

On all special hunts, the hunt is for the species listed only. Any other species hunted is subject to a $500.00 trophy fee.

    We provide everything except personal gear, sleeping bag, archery equipment, or rifle. Please see our Gear List to assist in your packing.

    On all hunts except mountain lion, horses are used for transportation between base camps, high camps, and to the hunting areas. These are true mountain hunts in high rugged terrain. If you book a hunt with us, you can expect to hunt hard. The elevation in our area, is between 7,000' and 10,000' above MSL. Terrain varies from easy to difficult with a mix of sagebrush and pine forest.  Pre-hunt conditioning is very important for the success of your hunt. Take the time to get in shape so you will be able to enjoy your hunt more. Strengthen your legs and wind, this will pay off when you have to move fast for that trophy of a lifetime. Our guides will be in shape, but will only hunt as hard as you can, we will not run you into the ground. For the safety and well being of our clients and our horses, we request that all clients be prepared to walk and lead their assigned horses downhill. If you are not able to walk downhill, then more than likely, our hunts are much too physically demanding for you, and you should consider other hunt options!

    Sleeping arrangements are in tents with cots and foam pads. You will be awakened with a hot beverage of your choice. At this time your stove will be lit, so you can dress in comfort. Breakfast and dinner each day are served in the cook tent. Our food is first class, you won't be disappointed! A sack lunch is provided while hunting.

    Your guide will work hard at completing your hunt successfully. He will skin and field dress your game and prepare the hide for delivery to the taxidermist. Your meat and hide will be transported to your point of departure, where final meat cutting, cold storage and taxidermy are your responsibility. We can make recommendations for local processing.
