Our area is located in Idaho’s Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Montana. Consisting of countless acres of roadless wilderness in units 17, 20, and 20A, this is some of the best spot and stalk hunting in the nation, and it is not uncommon to see many trophy class elk/deer during your Hunt. The elk season begins in September and runs through October. Deer season begins in September and runs through November, so if we have deer tags available, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase one of those as well. September is the rut, and these rifle hunts fill up fast! Elk will likely still be bugling in early October, depending on the weather. If we have snow, the elk move more frequently and are easier to spot. The fires in the last few years have burned many acres creating excellent habitat and great hunting opportunities–we find ourselves using spotting scopes more than ever before!

Your guide is responsible for packing out game that you harvest, especially during warm weather. Camp locations vary from roadside base camps along a remote road to a 7-hour horseback ride. Horses and mules are not always left in camp. Wilderness hunts are extremely physical, and we will hunt you to the best of your ability. You may also purchase a bear and a wolf tag. If you are jet boating in, you will be charged an additional transportation fee.
