We hunt in the Selway Wilderness Area. (unit17), home of the largest elk herd in the U.S.A., outside of Yellowstone Park. Idaho leads the nation in bull-cow ratio. Our clients fly in to the Selway from either Missoula, MT. or Salmon, ID. From there we pack to our high camp for our early bugle hunt with the season starting Sept. 15 through Oct. 7th. It is a 5 hour horse ride to camp, elevation 7000 ft. We hunt four hunters, seven days, two per guide. This hunt includes one day to and from camp. For this hunt you fly out of the Selway on day nine. We have a camp on the river for our late hunts , with the season starting Nov. 1st through Nov. 18th, elevation 2400 ft. With these hunts you will be riding horses four to five hours a day.  Horses are used to eliminate as much foot work as possible. Anybody who gets out and works has the chance to go home with the trophy he or she came after. It is very important to be in top physical condition for these hunts. Hunt elk first, then you can hunt for your deer and bear. We hunt both Mule deer and Whitetail deer. The price of this hunt is $4500.00 per person or $5500.00 private treaty. This price includes elk, deer and bear. There is a 6% Sales Tax and 3% Use Fee to the USDA.  The 3% is included in the price of the hunt.

SPECIAL LATE SEASON DEER HUNT   November 12th-18th, 2009. Hunt the big bucks during the rut. White tail or Mule deer; two deer area. $3500. Now Includes Combination Wolf Hunt.

LION HUNT This Wilderness hunt starts Nov. 1st through March 31st. We use horses on our November hunts. After  November we fly into our area from Salmon, ID or Hamilton, MT. Following the hounds on a race can be very exciting and very rugged , so good physical condition makes your hunt more enjoyable. Our success rate is 100%. Hounds are used to chase and tree the lion. You are not required to take any lion treed. It is totally up to you which lion you select. The hounds are well trained and a thrill to hunt with. A lion hunt in the Selway is guaranteed to produce long lasting memories you will cherish for a long time. This is an ideal hunt for archery, handguns or rifle and make sure you bring a camera along. The price of this hunt is $4000.00 per person, plus 6% Sales Tax. The wilderness experience is a very special one and the safety of our clients is one of our major concerns. We have radios in our camp that allows us to reach the outside. 

WE SUGGEST YOU BRING ammunition, leather and rubber boots, plenty of socks, camp slippers, 2-way radios, a couple changes of clothing, rain gear, flashlight, spare bulb, batteries, camera, film, sleeping bag, towel, washcloth, a good heavy meat bag, 2 dry bags, one for your sleeping bag, one for your clothes. An army type duffel works great for your luggage. Limit luggage to 50lbs. plus sleeping bag and rifle. We furnish food and drink.
