WE HAVE NO ELK TAG DRAW!
Call for a guaranteed tag!

 2023 Rifle and Archery Elk hunts still available call for details.

 

IDFG cut tags for NON RESIDENTS in 2021. We have guaranteed tags until July each year but be sure to get reserved and purchase tags December 1st the year prior to the hunt. We can hold and guarantee LOLO elk tags until the end of July and then the outfitter tags go back into the system. I strongly urge all elk and deer hunters to plan ahead.

 

Elk hunting in our areas has been very good these past few years. Hunting remote well scouted areas paid off for our hunters.


Low tag sales numbers (lowered quotas), the wolf hunt, habitat improvement, as well as our continued yearly big kill of predatory spring bear and winter lion has produced higher kill rates, nice bulls taken, and lots of good bulls still on the hoof.


Guided elk hunting has NEVER been easy in this area but the right preparation, planning and hard work really pays off before and after the kill.

 

Idaho is a great elk destination. Our Combo hunts are very varied offering the hunter a wide range of game to take.  All elk tags are guaranteed through us - no draw. Contained in this website is lots of information detailing all of our Idaho hunts. If you need more specifics or would like to reserve space do not hesitate to call us right away.

  

The cost of the guided Deer and Elk combo Hunt is currently $5700.00 plus tags are $653 for elk plus $83 for the archery or ML stamp. Deer tags are $351.75.  If you plan a hunt with us, tags will be guaranteed. You must get LOLO A & B tags (or we can get them for you) for you as per instruction. Otherwise, you are responsible for buying your own tags in a timely fashion unless specifically told differently – check with Inga for any questions and help buying your tags in advance.

 

Hunts are booked with $1000 down lock into current price and reserve a tag. Tag prices are subject to change.  Hunters will have the expense of transportation to and from Missoula MT and 2 nights stay in Missoula. All animals will be caped and transported to the taxidermist for head and hide shipper and processor, but meat processing (about $00.75 a pound) and taxidermy will be the hunter’s expense. Gratuity for your guide and cook is also not included in the price of the hunt. There are no trophy fees.  A second Deposit of $1000 is due along with your license purchase for ML OR Arch hunts prior to Feb 1st of the year of the hunt. Final payment with tax is due in full 30 days prior to the start of the hunt. Booking now will hold the current hunt price.

 

The hunt will consist of 5 days of fully guided elk hunting. As outlined above, hunters will fly into Missoula MT and limited pick up from hotel there ($400 fee covers round trip due in cash at pick up) and transport them to camp. If you choose to fly to Spokane, you can rent a vehicle and drive to camp. The hunt includes all food lodging and transportation once hunters arrive in camp until they depart.

 

Deer only hunts are available for $4700 plus tags.  Deer hunting has a very limited book and a huge success rate. For details, please contact Inga by phone or e-mail.

 

We generally hunt from pack-in camps or from our remote base camp. Depending on which camp you choose, we have cabins or wall tents for housing. Both have wood heat with comfortable cots and foams. You will need sleeping bags, full camo in layers with a waterproof outer layer. The prices outlined above include all food lodging pick-up and return to Missoula as well as full guide service (please note full guide service does not necessarily mean your guide is with you at all times, please ask if you do not understand any information here) and caping of critters. Things not included in the price are, gratuity for guides and cooks, 2 nights stay in Missoula (if flying with pick up), meat processing and taxidermy or shipping or hides or meat.

 

Availability is limited. Of course, we are in contact with prospective clients daily. Hunts are reserved with a phone call or e-mail and then held for 10 days until initial deposit is received at which time the space is confirmed.
