Gospel Mountain Outfitters

Our archery Idaho elk hunts are conducted form tent camps in a designated wilderness in the Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho Game Management Unit 15. Most of the timber in the remote region is lodge pole pine dense enough to provide the necessary cover for a bow hunter. Our Bow hunts occur in September when the bulls are bugling (in rut) and during a bow only season providing the archer with an excellent opportunity to take a mature bull, a qualifying entry in the Pope and Young records. Our guides have years of experience and can get you close to your target. Most shot opportunities will be in the 10-20 yard range. Transportation to and from hunting camp is by horseback requiring about 3 1/2 hours depending on the camp location. Horses are used some at the hunting camp but most hunting will be done on foot. Hunting Elevation will range from 5,000 to 8,000 feet. Prior physical conditioning is recommended and will contribute to a more enjoyable hunt. Elk hunting archery trips are 7 days in length including one day in and one day out of camp, providing 5 full days of elk hunting. The number of elk hunters per camp will usually be 4, the maximum six unless advance arrangements have been made.
