Black Bear Hunting in Wyoming and Idaho

Wyoming: Spring Black Bear season is open from May 15th to June 15th. During this time bears are just coming out of hibernation in search of feed. Wyoming law prohibits hound hunting thus we utilize mostly bait hunting over active proven baits in the evenings and generally prefer to use spot and stalk methods in the early mornings. Our area supports about a 50/50 color phase with half being black and the other half a combination of blonds, chocolates, and cinnamons.

Idaho: Both bait and hounds can be utilized during the spring bear hunt. A combination of a hound/bait hunt usually yields the best chance for a real trophy. The combination hunt features a full day of hunting with the hounds combined with baited stand hunting during the evening hours. This method allows for the ultimate bear hunting experience.

Wyoming Elk Hunting in Big Horn Mountains

Whether you’re a new raghorn chaser or an experienced wapiti stalker we have got a hunt for you. We hunt in remote areas of the Big Horn Mountains and offer two different base camps, the Diamond Tail Cabins and the Backcountry Camp. These areas hold great elk in both quality and quantity. Rifle, archery, and muzzleloaders are all welcome, as well as crossbow hunters. On average a mature bull will range from a 260 to a 320 class bull.  All of the archery hunts will be during prime bugling season.  Calling will be the preferred technique during this period. To hunt during the rut is one of the most exhilarating hunts you’ll ever experience.  The rifle hunts will combine some calling, spot and stalk, and tracking. All of the guides are well trained in these hunting methods.  For those who are willing to be patient and work hard, real trophies are there to be had.

Mt. Lion ~ Cougar Hunting

Lion hunting is not just a winter past time for us, its serious business. These hunts depend heavily on favorable weather conditions, but with good snow cover, success on past hunts had been good. This animal is a highly elusive cat which makes them a prize to be had amongst hunters. Our hounds are trained and continuously exercised in hunting these sleek natured animals. It is truly an indescribable adventure to hunt behind the dogs and enjoy the chase in a beautiful mountainous area.
