Seven days chasing bulls on horseback, with no fixed camp to tie you down
Five days after some of the largest bears in Idaho, through six weeks of late spring. Run either from backcountry wall-tent camps reached on horseback or from the Grandjean cabins, depending on where the bears are. They put the colour-phase rate in this population at about 60% and their success rate at 90%. Those are their numbers. 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.
