Fully Guided Backcountry Spot & Stalk Hunts
For those seeking the ultimate backcountry adventure, our Spot & Stalk Bear Hunts offer a physically demanding and rewarding experience in Idaho’s rugged Frank Church Wilderness. These fully guided, 1-on-1 hunts are designed to challenge hunters and deliver unforgettable memories. We offer 3 weeks of hunts each May for a total of 6 hunters each season.
Mobile Spike Camps
Our Spot & Stalk hunts are based out of mobile spike camps featuring lightweight tipi tents. This setup allows us to remain mobile and cover vast backcountry terrain effectively. As these hunts are entirely backpack-based, meals consist of both fresh and high-quality freeze-dried to keep you fueled for the challenges ahead.
The Hunt
Hunters will spend their days trekking through steep and unforgiving terrain, relying on glassing primarily to locate trophy-class bears. The rugged landscape and physical demands make this hunt a true test of endurance and determination. This adventure is perfect for those ready to embrace the challenge and reap the rewards of hunting Idaho’s color-phase black bears.
Trophy-Class Color-Phase Bears
Idaho is home to some of the most unique color-phase black bears in the world. Bears can range in color from chocolate and blonde to cinnamon, with many variations in between. Our focus on maintaining a mature boar population ensures hunters have the opportunity to pursue truly exceptional trophies.
Fully Guided Spot & Stalk Bear Hunt Package
Benefit from the expertise of a seasoned guide who will accompany you every step of the way. Your days will consist of hiking and glassing to cover the terrain most effectively. Snowpack and weather conditions will dictate camp locations to best access the hunting areas. These hunts are 7 days long and accommodate a maximum of 2 hunters per camp to ensure personalized attention and a high-quality experience. Be prepared for the most extreme western hunt imaginable. The Salmon River Canyon is some of the steepest country you can imagine, and although we won’t be covering many miles each day, we will be climbing and descending thousands of feet in elevation. We take pride in providing the finest outfitting and guide services possible. It is our commitment to each and every hunter to perform above and beyond in every aspect of your adventure.
