This outfitter is a small family owned and operated business in Idaho. They carry multiple state licenses, permits, and private leases to be able to offer high quality, successful hunts. They offer hunts for Black Bear, Mule Deer and Whitetail Deer, Elk, and Mountain Lion. You can also harvest a wolf while on your hunt if the opportunity presents itself. Tag must be purchased prior to hunt. They also offer high mountain fishing trips as add-ons to their hunts. They raise and train their own dogs, they cook, and they personally guide 85% of their clients. This is what they do for a living.
This is a guided archery mule deer or whitetail deer hunt in units 10 and/or 12. Deer tags are limited in numbers and sell out fast, so booking this hunt in advance and planning with our office will be imperative. Our team can assist you in securing the necessary tag for this hunt. Typical bucks are 16-24” wide and are usually 3x4 or 4x4, and about half have eye guards. They also have whitetail in the area, while not as numerous as mule deer when they see a whitetail buck, he’s usually a good one. The regular deer archery tag is good for either species. For deer, crossbows can only be used if you’re disabled and go through the steps and get the approval ahead of the hunt. No mechanical broad heads.
Just as any hunting, the more time spent in the stand, the better your odds. The outfitter has trail cameras out on game trails and feeding areas a lot of the year, they have tree stands and ground blinds built in good locations that deer frequent. You can make this a combo hunt and hunt mule deer bucks in the morning and sit a bear bait in the evenings (with any weapon not just archery for the bear), or just archery hunt deer all day. They'll sneak you into an area and get you set up with a radio and leave you to wait for your buck.
The outfitter uses almost all naturally built ground blinds, but they do have a few tree stands. Their setups always favor the normal wind patterns, always put the sun in your favor, and are very well built and placed from 20-120 yards, most being 30-50 yards. The steepness and thickness of the forest in the area usually prohibits them from seeing a bait much further away than that. They take you on side by side or truck to a location near your bait, then they walk you into blinds and dump fresh bait and scent each time. They have some easy-to-walk-to baits for disabled hunters and some hard, long walks to baits, to accommodate all types of hunters. They leave you with a radio so you can call them when you shoot a bear or are ready to be picked up as well.
Accommodations are either mountain tents or the base camp. For the base camp, there are nice wall tents with mattress beds, lights, cabinets, and charging stations. Wood stove AND propane Buddy heaters. Hot running water with sink and shower for regular sanitation. Generator power. Cook tent with food/coffee/drinks always available. Big fire pit for socializing. Freezers for freezing your hide. Biweekly serviced Port-o-potties in spring season, outhouses in fall season.
