BIG GAME HUNTING

In unit 71, archery elk hunts run September 1st through September 19th. Rifle elk hunts run September 20 through October 31. Our area provides excellent opportunities in both seasons.

Around 10,000 elk comprise the Jackson elk herd. Our camp lies in the heart of their range. Good numbers of resident elk are present through summer and the fall breeding season. Due to the lack of pressure, elk tend to be very vocal during the rut.

After the first significant snowfalls, large numbers of migrant animals begin streaming through from summer ranges in Yellowstone, en route to winter range on the National Elk Refuge and southern Jackson Hole.

Archery deer season is September 1st through September 14th. Rifle season runs September 15th to October 25th, 3 weeks longer than most other units in the Jackson area.

Both whitetail, and mule deer are present. Both can be harvested, but trophy potential is higher with mule deer. Population densities are somewhat lower than other units in the Jackson area, but mature bucks make up a larger percentage of the deer. Deer hunting here requires time spent scouting to know where the animals are.

Come hunt with us and you will enjoy the benefit of our preseason legwork, getting you to where the action is. Our job is to do everything we can for you to have opportunities at the deer you're looking for. Is chasing big bucks in Yellowstone country on your bucket list? Then look no further.

While in camp, you can expect comfortable wall tents with sheeted beds, heaters, and wash stations. In the morning, the camp cook will have hot meals and coffee before departure.

They will also prepare and send you with a solid lunch to enjoy out in the field. After a full day on the mountain, a hot dinner will be ready for you when you get back into camp.

To minimize hunting pressure and maximize our guests’ experience, we host only a limited number of hunters per season. This allows us to focus on each hunter, ensuring that their experience is the hunt of a lifetime.

Yes! We offer a +1 Hunting Special. If you would like to bring a significant other, family member, or friend who will not be hunting, we will host them at our Bedroll and Breakfast while you hunt.

They are able to participate in rides, enjoy all meals and snacks as well, and experience camp life with the crew and other guests. Scroll down on this page to see more information on this special.

A $500 pre-draw deposit is required to hold your spot. Once draw results are released, a 75% deposit is due to confirm your hunt. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your hunt date.

All payments are non-refundable.

Our basecamp is located about an hour and twenty minutes from Jackson. We are based in the Bridger Teton National Forest, about five minutes from the South Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. We’re right between Yellowstone and Grand Teton, which makes it easy to access both parks while staying in a more quiet, backcountry setting.

There is a gas station and convenience store at Flagg Ranch about four minutes by car from our camp. Colter Bay is 30 minutes from us.

We’ll send detailed directions and arrival info ahead of your trip, and you’re always welcome to give us a call if you have questions getting here.

Our riding age is 7 and up, but younger kids are very welcome at basecamp.

We have plenty for them to enjoy including a western style cookout and time around camp, and we can organize a meet and greet with the horses if you would like. We also offer a family rate for families with kids too young to ride.

We’re a family run operation, so camp has a relaxed, welcoming feel and kids have a great time visiting.

Bears do live in this area, but it’s not something you need to be worried about. Our camp is set up with bear safety in mind, and our crew is trained and experienced in operating in bear country. We handle all food storage properly and keep a clean camp, which is the biggest factor in preventing issues.

It is extremely rare to see a bear near our camp, and when you’re out riding or exploring, your guide will walk you through what to do to stay safe. We’ll also explain all bear safety protocols when you arrive so you feel comfortable and prepared.

We have bear spray on site that can be borrowed by our guests during their stay.

Yes! Please make a note on your reservation.

We do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice. All meals are prepared fresh at camp, and we can adjust menus for needs like vegetarian, gluten free, and allergies. Let us know when you book or give us a call ahead of your trip so we can plan accordingly!
