WALL TENT BASE CAMPS

Because of the remote areas that the wildlife we hunt live, most hunts will be conducted out of comfortable wall tent base camps. These camps are accessible with a 4 wheel drive vehicle.  During the early season Archery hunts we take advantage of the light weight  and breathable material such as the Alaknak tents made by Cabela's. We use these tents to sleep in and then set up a large rain fly for an outside eating area. During the colder and often wet or snowy late season hunts we set up Canvas wall tents for both sleeping and cooking/eating. The Cook tents are 14x16 or larger tents with plenty of room to relax after a long days hunt. The sleeping tents are usually 12x14 or 14x16 tents depending on the number of clients in camp. These tents are set up with wood stoves and/or propane heat, clothes lines around the wood stove and propane boot dryers to keep you and your clothes dry and comfortable. Most tents are set up to sleep a maximum of four people.  All camps are set up to maximize comfort during your hunt. We have carpeted floors in the wall tents and large throw rugs in the Alaknak tents. During your hunt you will have warm tents, a hot shower, good meals, a comfortable cot and sleeping pad, great company and plenty of laughs.                                             

   

 

MEALS 

Throughout your hunt you will have plenty of food to keep you going. We will provide you with three meals a day and plenty of snack food in between. Breakfast and dinner will be cooked for you and a wide variety of lunch food will be set out for you to make your own. We want to make sure that you get the food you want throughout the day so you get the food you like for a long day in the field. If we have less than three hunters in camp the guides will do the cooking. Any more than three and we will have a full time cook throughout the hunt. Meals will vary from week to week but they regularly consist of foods such as steak, spaghetti, brats, burgers, salads, etc; breakfast food will depend on the number of clients in camp. If the guides are responsible for cooking, plan on fruit, muffins, oatmeal, cereal, or scrambled eggs and sausage type food. Lunches will be a choice of several types of lunch meat, cheese, fruit cups, granola bars, etc; we provide plenty of bottled water to drink throughout your hunt. If you want pop or alcohol we suggest you purchase what you want prior to arriving in camp.

  

BACKPACK HUNTS

If you're are into getting away from people then we also have the availability for backpack hunting. Most of these hunts take place for the serious trophy hunters only. These hunts aren't always necessary but our biggest trophy animals are harvested an average of more than a mile from the nearest road access.  On these hunts we provide most of the gear but the hunters are responsible for bringing a light weight sleeping bag and backpacking pad. They are also responsible for packing their own pack and gear, as well as helping pack out game animals. These hunts have been extremely successful for guys that want to hunt trophy animals during the general rifle and archery season. During these hunts we eat freeze dried meals and stay in one or two man backpacking tents.

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOWN HUNTS

On certain hunts we have the option of staying in a motel. These hunts are mainly the late season hunts when the weather is bad and snow has driven the animals from the high country. Sometimes there are areas that have great hunting close to town and a motel is more convenient. We also utilize motels on some of our private land turkey and guided Blacktail deer hunts. Though we prefer the camp option, sometimes a motel is very convenient. On these hunts we will stay in a motel/hotel and eat in local restaraunts. Your guide will meet you in the morning for the days hunt and then return to the motel at night.

If health reasons keep you from staying in a tent camp one of these town hunts may be right for you. Please ask about the details since most of our hunts take place from tent camps.
