We even took time to turkey hunt. There was no trouble finding birds. After a short drive from the lodge we spotted a group of toms in a field heading towards the river. We got around them and set up in position to call. I only had to make about a half dozen short calls before we had a 10" beard. It all happened too quick.

With the bear numbers high, we have added a Fall bear hunt for 2009, and have openings for a few Fall hunters. We are happy to answer any questions you might have on bear hunting, and look forward to booking you on a bear hunt!!

Archery season started Sept. 6th and we were ready. The bulls bulging were great and gave us a lot of action. It was not uncommon to hear 3 - 4 bulls bugle in a small area. The bulls were having to compete for the cows and that made it great for us. The bull numbers are high and it wasn't unusual to call in 2 - 3 bulls a day. The weather was nice in general with some days of rain and wind.

We took some really nice bulls with some misses that won't be forgotten. The guys tell me that after elk archery hunting with all the action and excitement this is the only way to hunt elk. If you have never tried it, you are sure missing out on a hunt of a lifetime.

There is a very high bull/cow ratio in our area, and the elk numbers are the highest they've ever been! We highly recommend this hunt for someone who likes action and wants to have a very good chance at taking a trophy bull elk. After our clients took their elk, we put them in tree stands for whitetail. After passing up many chances at smaller bucks, we were able to get deer in the 125+ class, with the largest one scoring over 140!

We know you would enjoy this hunt, so please give us a call with any questions you may have, and we will be happy to answer them for you!

This is one of the hunts everyone really looks forward to, because of the excitement of calling in those magnificent bull elk! As a guide, this is one of the hunts we offer that we have more control over, starting with having our clients in the right place. We then call the elk in within 20 yards, and hopefully the client makes the shot.

With the ending of a great archery season, we were excited about the start of rifle season.

The weather for rifle season was warm and dry. These conditions made finding the animals tough, as they were holding tight into cover and not having to come out into the open country to feed as much as we would of liked. We heard a few bulls bugle the first week and made a good stalk on them.

As the season went on the whitetail and mule deer were moving great for the rut, leaving our guys to take some nice bucks home with them.

The mule deer rut starts here the first of November, and the deer numbers are at a ten-year high. We took several nice muleys in the 24"-26" class and 3 over 30 inches.

The whitetail rut started around Thanksgiving and the bucks were running around chasing does everywhere. We took some in the 140-160 class, and several smaller ones. Our whitetail numbers are very high, and the State FWP is talking about a more liberal season for 2008!

The best way to summarize our 2008 rifle season is 'Outstanding'! We are having another nice winter and the game are doing very well. The numbers are high and we expect an even better season next year!
