Wilderness Elk & Deer Early Rifle Bugle Season

(2023 SEASON)

Hunt #1: Sept. 14 to 20: Full

Hunt #2: Sept. 24 to 30: Full

Hunt #3: Oct. 4 to 10: Full

If you are looking for a true Wilderness hunt, that is deep enough in the back country for you to experience a true horseback, fair chase experience, in wild country that supports excellent elk, whitetail and mule deer habitat with an opportunity to harvest a respectable bull or buck, then this hunt is for you.  This is not an “easy” hunt.  Terrain can be challenging.  Taking an elk on a Fair Chase hunt in the backcountry is one of the greatest trophy and memories you can have.  We work hard to make you successful, but not everyone will harvest an elk. Mother Nature is in control, weather, predators and early migrations effect success and are out of our control.  Come with a realistic expectation for a great hunt, in spectacular country and the opportunity to harvest a trophy. These hunts are in Hunting District 150.

WOLF:

If you are interested in harvesting a wolf, we suggest that you buy a wolf tag (or 2 or 3) and hunt in conjunction with our other hunts.  Wolf hunting is generally opportunistic when we focus on elk and deer.  However, 2 of our hunting guides are some of the best “wolf howlers” anywhere.  We often take a morning or evening and hunt specifically for wolves.
