Great Backcountry Elk Hunting Experience

The team at Five Bears Outfitters puts together fantastic backcountry mountain hunting and fishing trips, all while providing great food and wall tent lodging in a peaceful meadow surrounded by high mountain peaks. They operate out of a piece of pristine, undisturbed wilderness that you have to see to believe. If you take a trip with Five Bears Outfitters, you are all but guaranteed to not run into another human, but are very likely to see bear, elk, deer and moose. Within my first 48 hours in camp, I was within 60 yards of a bugling bull elk, thanks to my guide (and one of the owners) Jade.

Combining a great outfitter and an incredible area makes for a wonderful trip

Friendly and helpful guide staff. They make you feel like family and go out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. The camp is in a beautiful area, and seeing vast amounts of it from the back of a very trustworthy horse is an amazing experience. We saw all sorts of wildlife, including elk, wolf, moose and mountain goats. My guide was able to set me up for shots that worked well for my hunting and shooting style. All in all a truly life changing experience.

Nothing!

It was an excellent hunt. The ride back in to camp was great

Horse ride back in to camp

The floors in tents need more traps on the ground. The showers need to be fixed

A hunt of a life time

With the experience you get riding 20 miles to the base camp on horses and mules, I didn’t think the trip could get any better than that. I was so wrong, the manager jade and his crew went to great lengths to making us feel at home even tho we were 20 miles deep in the back country of Idaho. The way they had camp set up was amazing with sleeping tents a shower tent, kitchen tent all ready for us to get start once we arrived there. I was in total shock about how good the food was and they even had freshly baked desserts for us after a long day of hunting. With good conversations and plenty of laughs in camp the experience me and my brother had was by far the best. We will definitely be going back !!

Real Deal Elk Hunt, amazing trip and experience

Hunting true public land bulls in the deep woods of Idaho was awesome. The camp and the guides were fantastic. We saw and heard elk throughout the week.

Everything was fantastic. I missed an opportunity to shoot a bull, but that was only my fault. I learned a ton from the experience and can't wait to do it again!

ID archery elk hunt

Excellent accommodations for a backcountry camp, friendly staff. Low elk density but they seemed more naïve then most public land elk.

horseback in rough country required being off the mountain by dark for safety reasons, basically taking away the best of the evening hunt.
