Economy Hunts are conducted out of our base camp. Your guide sets you on active bait stations in a ground blind or treestand – a “sniper nest” for rifle hunters or “up close and personal” for the avid bowhunter and handgun slinger.The bait is freshened and scented. When he “rings the dinner bell”, the hunt is on. When you harvest, tracking and game retrieval are included.

WOLF HUNT IDAHO: Although baiting Wolves is NOT legal, they may be taken incidentally while hunting bear over bait. Take advantage of this rule and carry a Gray Wolf tag during your Black Bear Hunt (you may get lucky).Hunters may purchase unlimited Gray Wolf tags per calendar year. All tags may be used in our area!

Gray Wolf tags in Idaho are a result of federal delisting and management transferred to the State. The Lolo Zone has one of the highest population of wolves in Idaho. These intelligent animals have only been hunted since 2009 offering the opportunity of a lifetime to harvest this elusive species within the lower 48 states.
