We are a family run outfitting business specializing in remote wilderness, fair chase hunts. Our permitted area is located both in & out of the Frank Church River of no Return Wilderness area. Our units 27 & 28 are part of the Salmon Challis National Forest. Our permitted area is approximately 160 sq. miles of unforgettable backcountry beauty. We will provide you with a wilderness experience to match the sheer magnitude of the Frank Church River of no Return. It is a land of clear rivers, deep canyons, and rugged mountains. The Frank is the largest wilderness in the lower 48, with 2,362,767 acres.

Elk Hunting: The Middle Fork country is fantastic game rich country. We have good populations of all of the species we hunt. All of our hunts are fair chase with experienced guides that just love to hunt. Elk hunting starts in September with the bugle season. When the big bulls start gathering their cows and bugling their challenges it will get your blood boiling like nothing else you have ever heard. This is one of the few places left that you can hunt elk with a rifle while they’re in the rut.

Deer Hunting: We offer high country trophy mule deer hunts in combination with our elk hunts. These late season hunts are a great time to harvest a trophy buck. The general archery season in our area is in December for elk and deer (either sex). We hunt out of the B-C Ranch in comfortable log cabins. The elk and deer are on their winter range and offer plenty of opportunity to the archer.



Mtn Lion Hunting: For unsurpassed beauty & excitement come join us for a winter mountain lion. We have a large population of trophy lions and we have had great success hunting them using our well-trained hounds. Most of the hunting is done on horseback. When the hounds cut a Mountain Lion track. Then we will be on foot listening to the cry of the hounds. With an added trophy fee there is also a great opportunity to harvest a Bobcat. From this camp you will have the chance to see Bighorn Sheep, Elk, Deer, and Mountain Goats. During this time of year, the Middle Fork country is the perfect place for a wilderness adventure.


Bighorn Sheep - Mountain Goat - Hunting: Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goats are most sportsmen's dreams. We can make that dream come true. We offer 10 day fully guided hunts with 2 guides per hunter. These hunts can be combined with elk, deer, or bear. The first step in these hunts is to draw the license. The deadline for the applications is April 30. We will handle all the details upon receiving the correct license fees. We have a large number of mature rams in our area giving hunters a great opportunity to harvest a record book or near record book ram. On the average we only take one sheep hunter per year, giving our rams a chance to become trophy class.

Spring Bear Hunts Bear Hunting: Come join us for a Rocky Mountain bear hunt at our ranch on Silver Creek. Spring is a beautiful season in the Salmon River Mountains and bear hunting is at its best. We offer hunts over baits, spot and stalk hunting, and for the adventuresome, hound hunting. We have an abundance of bear and a large area to hunt them in. During our unit 28 hunts you will be staying at the B-C Ranch on Silver Creek. We will be using pickups, four-wheelers, and horses on these hunts. On the Unit 27 hunts you will be staying at the historic Tappan Ranch Cabin on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. This area is rich in history and famous for its abundance of game.
These are horseback rides and require two days of packing in and out.
