About this hunt
This hunt is a Backcountry Black Bear Hunt. $5,000 per person for 1 hunter 1 guide or for 2 hunters 1 guide hunt.
You will be accompanied by a guide to ensure your safety and the harvest of a mature and legal black bear. This is a 7 day hunt, the first day is pack in with the possibility of hunting that evening or on the ride in, and the last day is reserved for packing out and transporting you back to Missoula. We pack you in on horse back 16 miles to our Base Camp where your hunt begins. During your 5 full days of hunting you will have the option to either sit baits or ride out and spot and stalk bears, or both depending on conditions. Your guide will provide you with information on which tactic will be the best option for taking a big mature boar.
We ride into Base Camp where we have a full time cook, a hot shower and a relaxing camping experience. Our Base Camp is 16 miles into Idaho's back country and gives you access to some of the most remote black bear hunting in the lower 48. If you tag out early or are extremely saddle sore our camp sits right on a blue ribbon trout river and you can spend your day fishing or relaxing at Base Camp.
Our staff will make sure you are comfortable on and around our well seasoned stock before we embark on your hunt. We do our best to keep you comfortable during the duration of your trip so when it comes time to go after a bear you have the energy. At our camp we target BIG MATURE BOARS our guides do everything in their power to make sure we put a good bear in front of you.
Idaho's Unit 10 is an over the counter Black Bear tag at a reduced tag price.
We do not allow you to take 2 bears. Unit 10 is a 2 bear unit, however we focus on keeping quality big boars, and only allow hunters to take one bear.
Wolf tags are available for an extra $31.75 and are highly encouraged to purchase.

Cancellation
If you are unable to keep the reservation with us once the hunt is set up, we will accept an alternate in your place upon notification, or we will credit you a hunt for the next year. This will enable us to fill your spot. SORRY NO REFUNDS.Wounding
We follow a policy that is widely followed by Outfitters and Guides worldwide. A “wounded” animal is deemed “wounded” by the guide immediately upon the shot. It could be the way the animal responded when shot, could be blood, could be he/she saw the arrow or bullet strike the animal. Ultimately the final call is up to the guide. He/she makes the determination immediately upon shooting, whether or not the hunter agrees. We strive our hardest to retrieve any and all game animals shot but if the animal is not recovered your hunt is finished. You are welcome to stay for the allotted time of your hunt and either relax in camp or do some fishing.Payment
