About the Hunt Provider:
Idaho Big Game hunting sits at the top of some of the best hunting there is out there. This hunt provider prides itself on being “Idaho’s Premiere Big Game Hunting Outfit.” They have so much more to offer than your typical Idaho outfitter. Their vast amount of permitting allows them to conduct some of the best big game hunts in Idaho. The remoteness of the wilderness and backcountry are some of the most untapped area within Idaho. They are excited to share in your experience of this truly breathtaking area and certainly proud to offer outdoor adventures unlike anything else you may find in the Idaho outfitting industry. Located near the Idaho/Montana border within a short drive from Missoula International Airport (MSO).
Their base camp is remote and very peaceful that offers a nice mix of rustic cabins and well-kept wall tents, all of which have great heating sources to ensure you are sleeping comfortably each night. The main base camp uniquely balances the modern amenities of today while providing the experience of a backcountry adventure. The relaxing backcountry camp is accessible by vehicle and includes: canvas wall tents with wood stoves, hardwood floors, twin beds, electricity including lights and power outlets in each tent (when the generator is running), unlimited hot water shower cabin, cook & dining cabin, multiple outhouses, campfire, and multiple other camps throughout our permitted areas that are accessible by either vehicle or horseback. These camps include canvas wall tents, cots, foam pads, lanterns, wood stoves, kitchen tent, outhouse, shower tent, etc.
Black Bear
Our high opportunity trophy Spring and Fall black bear hunts are over a plethora of active baits with hunting occurring in the afternoon and evenings on a normal day. Tags are over-the-counter paired with our 5 day hunts with potential to extend if desired. Close to 50% of the bear population in our area tend to be color phase varying from Chocolate, Cinnamon (Red), Blonde, and sometimes a mix of multiple colors is seen as well!!! We are not a large outfit that seeks to over hunt and over book, we like to keep our camps small to ensure a quality experiences, and a quality hunt. Our area is a two-bear area meaning every hunter within our camp has the option to purchase a second tag during, or even before their hunt. After the first successful harvest, hunters can decide on whether or not they’d like to continue hunting a second bear.
We offer another form of highly successful Spring and Fall black bear hunting, WHICH IS pursuing bears with our highly trained pack of hounds. Ensure you get your adrenaline rush and hear the dogs baying up a bear in a creek or alerting you that they have caught a bear high up in a pine tree! We offered this hunting method to a select few in spring of 2024 and when deploying our trained hounds we experienced very high success — hunter’s loved it! This hunt isn’t a walk in the park, it will require lengths of strenuous activity, but nothing a positive mindset, and a will to hunt a trophy black bear can’t solve!
