Our U.S. Forest Service Special use Permit allows us to camp and
hunt in over 100 Square miles of Wilderness & National Forest. The Bulls in this
beautiful rugged country are not as educated to bugeling as in
many other areas. This Wilderness area offers outstanding
opportunities for taking trophy class animals. There is little
to no hunting pressure on game in this area. It is not uncommon
to see any other hunters during your entire hunting trip.
Camp
is neat and comfortable with wood stove heated wall tents, cots,
and carpeted floors.
Our
camps are located far enough away from the areas the elk
frequent, yet close enough to hunt to on foot every day. We
normally keep little to no livestock in camp. When we first
started outfitting, we would keep all the horses and mules in
camp and we always found ourselves having to hunt further and
further from camp every year. Our strategy now days is to go
undetected. This is easier accomplished without a herd of
horses and mules in camp. It is not uncommon to have elk less
than a 1/2 mile from a quiet camp. Many of my
competitors keep a heard of mules and horses in camp. They also
have to wake up 2 hours earlier to saddle stock and ride 1 hour
in the dark to be in position to hunt the elk that wouldn't
tolerate their loud camp. If there's two things I've
learned about elk hunting over the years, they are elk don't
like people and they hate getting shot.
We
have many requests for groups of 4-6 hunters in a camp. We
understand one of the big reasons for hunting is for the
comradity of friends and we will gladly accommodate groups of
4. We prefer groups of 2 hunters per camp. If you are a group
of 6, please consider 3 groups of 2. This is less profitable
for us, but always produces higher hunter success. We are
committed to helping our hunters go home with an elk. Our camps
and advice are all centered around this commitment. Not the
almighty dollar.
