Book a Hunt

Elk Hunts

Our backcountry elk hunts are a 7 day guided hunt. You will be hunting Idaho's high country on horseback or foot. This is a public land hunt, however our base camp sits 15 miles away from any road making it very unlikely we will see another hunter. On your hunt, you will be accompanied by an experienced guide who will help you locate and put a stalk on a big bull. 


Our Camp

We run a small camp to keep hunting pressure low in our area; allowing higher success rates and more quality trophy bulls. We keep seasonal client numbers low and have multiple spike camps available, offering you access to thousands of acres of public land. Our remote camp gives you the opportunity to harvest the bull elk of a life time in some seriously rugged country.
