IDAHO GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS

For the hunter looking for a true wilderness experience, Idaho is one state that can provide it. The Selway-Bitterroot is a huge tract of un-roaded wilderness as is the Frank Church. The Snake River in Hells Canyon offers some remote and demanding hunting opportunities as well. To be able to hunt these areas effectively, hiring an outfitter/guide should be a serious consideration. Horses are a must if you want to maximize your opportunities in these areas. Some of Idaho's Outfitters even operate small aircraft into the many extremely remote air strips. But for those looking for a little easier option, Idaho also offers large expanses of National Forest and BLM lands as well. An outfitters knowledge and experience can be invaluable in these areas. Knowing where the game goes when the pressure is on can mean the difference between putting an animal on the ground or going home with an unfilled tag.

Idaho's hunting opportunities should not be overlooked. Elk, Deer, Pronghorn, and Black Bear permits can be had over the counter. And trophy class Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat are also available to those lucky enough to draw a tag. With so much wilderness and "untamed" wild lands, Idaho offers a great number of experienced outfitters and guides. Many will use horses to access the remote inaccessible wilderness areas, while others operate by 4x4 in the more accessible areas and on private lands. There are also the jet-boats and aircraft in those select areas where this mode of transportation is appropriate.
