Description

All rifle drop camps are 7 days (1 day pack-in, 5 days hunting, 1 day pack-out). This is a hunt during the September bear season and is an easy-to-draw rifle tag. The outfitter will assist all booked hunters with tag acquisition, ensuring a smooth process. If you miss the application deadline, there are typically leftover tags available for purchase. Archery tags are over-the-counter, offering flexibility for different hunting preferences. The outfitter has access to an abundant bear population, with high success rates—rifle hunts typically see over 80% shot opportunities, while archery hunts have around a 60% success rate. These hunts take place at elevations ranging from 8,500 to 11,500 feet, providing a truly unique experience. 2 person minimum
