Elk Hunts

Guided
5 days1–2 huntersπŸ“… Sep – OctOur elk hunts run during the peak of the rut, typically in September for archery and into October for rifle.

If you are looking for a full-experience high country mule deer hunt without the full price-you're in the right place. In our semi-guided mule deer hunt we provide you a ride in to the remote backcountry on horses and mules and drop you and your gear off for 5-14 days. We provide scouting knowledge of the area and handle all things associated with your pack in and out. Tags are available for purchase through us.

Mule Deer Hunts

Guided
5 days1–2 huntersArchery hunts run in early fall during velvet season, while rifle hunts take place later when bucks are hard-horned and more active before the rut.

Hunting mule deer in the high country is one of the most rewarding β€” and physically demanding β€” hunts we offer. These elusive bucks thrive in steep, remote terrain and spotting them often means glassing ridgelines at first light. Whether you prefer archery or rifle, this is a true mountain hunt that calls for patience, persistence, and the thrill of the stalk. If you're looking for a challenge that pays off in unforgettable moments and serious velvet or hard-horn success, you're in the right place.

Moose1 hunt

Moose Hunts

Guided
πŸ“… Sep – NovDuration varies by tag and hunt unit. Typically in the fall β€” September through early November, depending on the state and unit. Most hunts are timed around the rut for calling and better visibility. Limited entry tags.

Moose hunts are rare, highly coveted, and deeply rewarding. With limited tags and rugged country, this hunt offers the chance to pursue one of the largest and most majestic animals in North America. Our hunts are conducted in remote wilderness areas where calling in a mature bull is as thrilling as it gets. If you’re lucky enough to draw or obtain a tag, we’ll guide you every step of the way β€” from logistics and gear to packing out your trophy bull.
