Idaho has high wolf populations and many of them are black! Black bear hunting is done spot and stalk, no baits on this hunt (you will probably see bears while you’re fishing). Did we mention that this is a two bear unit? Fishing is walk-and-wade for several species including cutthroat, rainbow, bull trout and steelhead. Some of the best fly fishing available anywhere!
At Outdoors International, we understand the importance of meticulous planning and seamless logistics for a successful and stress-free hunt. Our fully vetted outfitters will do their best to help take care of every detail, allowing you to focus on your adventure.

There are two to a tent so there will be plenty of space. In order to save you time, many days will be spent out of what we call spike camps, or camps away from the main camp. Some mobile horseback camps are also used. The days will start with one of their camp cooks hearty breakfasts. After breakfast hunters and guides will get on horses and head in the woods or to the river. Be prepared to hike here and there as well.
As we mentioned above, this is a traditional wilderness hunt. There are no roads, no cars, no power lines. This hunt takes place on nearly 300 square miles in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The land that Lewis and Clark had to go around. A true “Mountain Man “ experience and the hunt of a lifetime in the beautiful mountains, valleys and ridges of Idaho. It is one of the few places left where you can leave civilization behind. You will be asked to do just that and to leave all electronics and communication devices at home. Your camera and flashlight are the only exceptions. Prior to booking this hunt, you will need to agree to the outfitter’s Wilderness Ethics Agreement.
If you plan to fly commercially to Idaho, we recommend that you arrive in Salt Lake, Utah. You will arrive in Salt Lake and then drive a rental to either Challis or McCall for your flights into camp. You will be met by the outfitter at a wilderness airstrip with horses and mules to pack you into camp. *There are services available to assist in these arrangements, and the outfitter is available to discuss options on a case-by-case basis.
Please note that reservations are not considered finalized until agreed upon deposit is received. This ensures agreed upon dates and current pricing. Quality outfitters are in high demand so let us know right away, as some trips do book years in advance.
