Drop camps are suited to the hunter who wants to be packed into the back country where they will "go it alone." Our drop camp self guided hunts are 8 nights and 7 days you are asked to arrive the day before the hunt begins and check out on the morning of the 8th day. You will arrive the afternoon before your hunt we will get your gear prepared to be packed in the next day, you will spend this night in the guest quarters at our home base and be served a hearty family style dinner. On Day 1 of your hunt you will be served breakfast you will then hunt your way to into camp, your gear will be packed in by horseback. On day 7 of your hunt you will hike out or hunt your way out if necassary as your gear is packed out on horse back. You have to get your game to camp or the nearest trail we can access by horse; we will pack it out from there. No horses will be left in camp. You are responsible to provide all your own personal gear and food. You will stay in a well stocked wall tent camp furnished with cots, wood burning stove, Coleman cook stove and lantern. Pots, pans, dishes, utensils and tables a latrine is also provided. A saw  and axe will be will be provided  to cut your own wood for the wood heating stove, there will be enough prepared to get you through your first night. There are good water sources nearby. 

We suggest that drop camp hunters rent a satellite phone for safety. There will be a radio in camp and a designated check in time for safety and to schedule game retrieval.

Dates for our drop camp hunts will be set around the existing guided hunt dates. This allows us to be efficient in our logistical planning. We book no more than 4 hunters in camp at one time and will not mix party's.  

Bear Creek Camp: Our Bear Creek Camp is remote and located in area 240 of the Selway-Bitteroot Wilderness. You will be briefed on the local hunting terrain and current hunting conditions. I will share my personal knowledge of the area with you and do everything possible to insure you have a safe, enjoyable and successful week of hunting. Hunters who are prepared physically and who are ready with their equipment and pre-hunt planning will be more successful in finding elk on this hunt.
