Idaho Elk Hunt, Sawtooth Wilderness

Backcountry·Elk·Sawtooth Wilderness, Idaho — out of Grandjean

Two hundred and fifty square miles of central Idaho that SWO holds exclusively for deer and elk, hunted on horseback over seven days. SWO refuse to work one fixed camp. They move with horses and mules between multiple backcountry camps and a front-country cabin base at Grandjean, so a hunt can chase the animals instead of the infrastructure. Backcountry camps are wall tents, cots and wood stoves; the Grandjean cabins have a bed, a shower and internet; and ultralight tents go in when the hunt demands country neither will reach. They are explicit about what they will and will not promise: "Unlike guaranteed trophy hunts, we believe in the intrinsic value of earned success." They control the food, the guides, the stock and the camps, and they do not claim to control the weather or the animals. Seasons and weapons - Archery: late August into September, from $6,500 per hunter - Rifle: October into November, from $6,500 per hunter A drop camp option is available in the same country at $3,200, two hunters minimum, if you would rather hunt it unguided.
