                General Information

Hunt with us in a challenging mountainous setting of mixed sagebrush and pine forest for mature bulls. Our hunting area is listed by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to have one of the highest bull-cow ratios in the state. The country is very open with great visibility.

Our plans for elk hunting in 2010 include: 3 Unlimited Archery 8 day hunts, 2 Rifle - Controlled Permit Bull 8 day hunts, 7 and 5 day cow hunts, a 7 day combination cow elk and mule deer buck hunt and an any weapon cow / optional archery bull 7 day hunt. A maximum of 4 hunters will be on each hunt. Because these are prime hunts and fill up early, book your hunt as early as possible.

All of the archery hunts and the first rifle hunt will be during the prime bugling period. Calling will be the preferred technique during this period. The later hunts will combine some calling, spot and stalk, and tracking. All of our veteran guides are well trained in these hunting methods.

 

8 Day Guided Archery Elk Hunts

Our area opens for unlimited archery hunts in late August through September. These hunts are during the bugle season and rut. This is some of the most exciting hunting in North America. You can expect to see and hear lots of bulls while hunting at this time. This hunt is for either sex.

Archery Hunt Dates and Prices
Over the counter tags - No Draw

On most of our hunts, we have held our prices firm since 2003. Due to the increase in prices and fees related to our industry, and the current economy, we have had to raise our prices approximately 10% for 2009 seasons. This increase is reflected in all hunt prices listed.

8 Day Guided Controlled Rifle Bull Hunts

Our limited controlled bull elk rifle hunts are in October. As an outfitter we are granted 3 allocated tags for these bull hunts. This means that at least 3 of our clients will draw a tag. Other hunters desiring these hunts have an opportunity to draw one of the non-allocated, nonresident tags. Application for the permits is made in May with results of the drawing by July 12. All License, Tag, and Permit applications should be made through the outfitter to insure application for the correct area, and to take advantage of the outfitter's tag allocation. On the first rifle hunt in both 2003 and 2004 we had 100% success. The 2003 hunt was almost unbelievable with all four hunters filling their tags in the first two days of the hunt. Opportunity and success have continued to be high. These hunts, based on past results, promise to be one of the very best opportunities to take a trophy bull. The bulls are normally still bugling during the Sept. 30 to Oct. 7 hunt, making this a very special hunt.

We can arrange bull elk hunts with fellow outfitters at nearby locations for those who are unsuccessful in permit application for our area. These are non-drawing areas and only a license and tag are required.

On most of our hunts, we have held our prices firm since 2003. Due to the increase in prices and fees related to our industry, and the current economy, we have had to raise our prices approximately 10% for 2009 seasons. This increase is reflected in all hunt prices listed.

Any Weapon Cow Hunt / Optional Archery Bull Hunt

We are offering a new hunt for 2010. Idaho Fish and Game Dept. offers an over the counter "A tag", for hunting with any weapon for cow elk within one mile of a cultivated field, or the option of an archery either sex hunt, anywhere archery season is open. (all other rifle cow hunts require you to draw a tag) This offers a great opportunity to archery hunt for a bull early in the hunt, and if unsucessful, the option of taking a cow with rifle or archery, toward the end of the hunt.

If you are only after a cow, this hunt is for you as you are guaranteed a tag. This hunt will be based out of a tent camp, with transportation to and from camp with horses but, unlike our other hunts, horses will not be used during the hunt, so being in shape for getting around on steep terrain will be important. When an animal is taken, our packer will bring stock to pack out the meat.

Hunt Dates	Hunt Type	Hunt Cost per Hunter	Deposit
Sept. 6 - 12	2 Hunters - 1 Guide Cow only	$2,500.00	$1,000.00
Sept. 6 - 12	2 Hunters - 1 Guide Bull / Cow Option	$3,495.00	$1,500.00

Any combinations of deer or bear to elk hunt add $500.00 additional to hunt cost.

If any deer or bear are taken on elk hunts incidentally, there will be a $500.00 trophy fee added to the cost of the hunt. All tags and permits for the species taken are required.

Any client that wounds an animal that is not retrieved may forfeit the right to continue hunting.
