Information on Elk Creek Outfitters in Idaho.[/b]

General:[/b]
Elk Creek Outfitters is a licensed and bonded hunting business permitted in the Krassell Ranger District of the Payette National Forest. We hunt approximately eighty square miles of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, which is the largest wilderness area in the lower forty-eight states. We are located in Fish and Game unit 20A on the South Fork of the Salmon River in Central Idaho. Base camp is located at approximately 6000 feet elevation and hunting is generally done below 8000 feet

We offer guided or drop camp hunts for elk, mule deer, bear, and mountain lion. Our combination hunts run September 14th through November 19th. Early season hunts offer greater opportunity for bugling bulls as well as black bear. Later hunts are still great for elk and are excellent to hunt mule deer in the rut with the added opportunity to use hounds on mountain lions. We also have some early September black bear hunts using spot and stalk as well as baiting.

This is a "no-draw" (guaranteed license) area for Elk and is one of the only areas in the West with "no-draw" licenses for rifle hunting during the September bugling season.

Trent Bullock was born and raised in Central Idaho, as was most of the crew. The guides and wranglers are all experienced horsemen and familiar with hunting and the country. We look forward to hunting with you this fall

We provide a one-night stay in McCall, Idaho the night before the hunt begins and transportation to and from the hunting area (3 hours by truck and 1-2 hours by horseback) for all guided hunters. All meals/etc in the Boise/ McCall area are at the hunters expense. Transportation to/from the Boise Airport (approximately 3 hours) is provided for those who fly. For those who drive their own vehicles, arrangements can be made to leave them at the McCall airport or at the trailhead.

Drop camp hunters must provide their own transportation to and from the hunting area.

Camp[/b] Details[/b][/b]
Even though our camps are in remote areas they are all spacious and clean. We use horses and mules to hunt as well as to get to and from camp. Family-style meals are served twice a day with a sack lunch at noon. Our camps consist of wall tents with wood stoves, bunks, and foam pads as well as a complete kitchen set-up. The accommodations are second to none. Trent carries a satellite phone should any emergencies arise in camp.
