Description
This is a DIY hunters dream. Hunters will leave on horseback to a remote wilderness camp. This camp has been placed in a location where the elk are abundant. The ride will take a few hours, this puts hunters away from roads, logging trails and other hunters. The camp has wall tents, firewood, camp cook, meals and a wrangler with mules to assist with trophy recovery. This is the best a DIY hunter could ask for. Hunter gets to wake up and hunt. This is a 5 day hunt with 2 days of travel on horseback (1 in and 1 out). This is a general season tag. Non-residents have roughly a 50-70% chance to draw with 2 points.

This hunt can be arranged as an archery or rifle hunt. Hunter will ride into a remote camp dropped off to hunt. The outfitter will supply a camp cook and wrangler to help hunters navigate. Meals and lodging are provided. Remember this is grizzly country, so it is important to have someone managing the camp so hunting is the focus.
