GUIDED LODGE HUNTS

Hunters come to the lodge the afternoon before the opening day of the hunt to get things ready for the next morning. They will need to get fitted to their saddle and will have to opportunity to site in their rifle or bow. Hamilton Outfitters will provide the meals for the rest your hunt. Meals include hot breakfast, sack lunch, and a delicious hot supper. Each morning of the hunt, your guide will get horses saddled and loaded while the hunters enjoy breakfast. After breakfast, hunters and their guide will leave for the trailhead usually before day break. Lodge hunts are 5 day hunts, but Hamilton Outfitters does not hunt on Sundays. This is the same procedure each day of the hunt.

 

“GRANDADDY” RIFLE TROPHY ELK HUNT

Units 66A – 76 | October 1st-14th

This hunt is probably the Granddaddy of all Idaho hunts… A hunters dream. This area is approximately 100 miles long and 30 miles wide. A good portion of the time you will hear that prolonged undeniable cry of rutting bull elk… yep they are in the rut and bugling in the cows. It’s like opening day each morning… This is a controlled draw hunt with only 35 tags available for the whole area, so you are not competing with a lot of hunters on this hunt. We have two (2) allocated tags for this October 1st hunt, but we also guide hunters that are lucky enough to draw the tag on their own. In 2013 we had three (3) hunters – one got his bull on our first morning. He just relaxed and enjoyed the scenery for the rest of their hunt. By the third day, all three had their bulls.

This hunt is a fully guided hunt (1 hunter per guide) and hunted out of the lodge. This hunt is for 5 days. Each day you are transported to a different area In these units to hunt. We use horses to hunt and mules to pack out the harvested animals.
