We booked an eight day non guided Elk/Deer/predator hunt for early October 2025 in January 2025…read more We were told the camp location would be provided around one month before the hunt start date. We received the exact location two weeks prior. For those of us that like to scout and prepare for our hunts this left little time. When we arrived at the camp, the items stipulated by contract to be provided by WIO were not at the camp. While this was not a game changer it was a bad start for sure. Our drop camp was Pierson (11T 690895 m, 4937337 m) The condition of the tent and Sheppard's stove was a definite 1 out of 10. Thank goodness WIO put a new plastic tarp over the canvas tent. That saved us. During our stay we had to completely rebuild the stove flue and do tent repairs with bailing wire just to keep warm / dry. If it was not for my partner who brought some aluminum foil the flue would not have worked. As far as the hunting, lots of 2 month old elk signs but no elk in our valley or the valleys to our sides. That's just the way it goes. When we returned and made a call, the owner George agreed of our assessment with the camp but did not make any effort to secure our rebooking of his services. My advice, if you get put in the Pierson camp location refuse the location and ask for a refund. As far as the the contracted items not being supplied by WIO, be prepared with everything you need as if you were packing in on your own.

This was a bucket list trip for me. Both my son and I had not hunted for mule deer. Wild Idaho…read moreOutfitters did an outstanding job of making this hunting trip a total success. Niether myself or my son really expected to fill our deer tag. Our guide, Anthony, was the best. He was professional and knew how to hunt mule deer in that very rough terrain. At 4:30 am he brought coffee to me in my tent and made sure the wood stove was heating. Both of us filled our deer tags. If you are looking for a great trip in the most rugged mountain terrain you can imagine, then this is the trip.

Once in a lifetime trip. Amazing Guides! Great Food! 10 stars if that was an option.read more

I have floated the Middle Fork of the Salmon River with Idaho Wilderness Company 15 times in the…read morelast 17 years. After returning from my trip this year, I sent an email to Steve Zettel, owner of the company, wanting to discuss what I considered unsafe operations which occurred during my week long trip. His reply to my email stated I did not "conform to the Idaho Wilderness Company way" and I was not welcome to float the river with their company again. I sent another email asking exactly what I had done or not done. After 60 days, I have not received a reply. I personally was responsible for 7 others people coming on this trip. Two years ago I brought 12 members of my family on the trip. I express concern one time and I am told I am not welcome. You couldn't pay me to float the river with Idaho Wilderness Company.

I'm shocked to some degree that they haven't already been written up. I just returned from a once in a life time experience. From the time I was picked up by Casey from WRO, until the time I was dropped back off several days later, I experienced exceptional performance and professionalism from everyone. Casey, Tom and Sarah are consummate professionals. I can't wait until the next time up to Yellow Pine and beyond. I've been on a few pack trips in the past and I've never seen anyone take as good a care of their animals as the staff at WRO. As hunting guides, Casey and Tom did a great job. Not only do they know their stuff, but they also know the history behind the animals in their GMU. I learned a lot more than just what it takes to hunt Elk. Lastly, as a long time outdoorsman, I've camped out 1,000s of nights. Not once have I had food as good at Sarah makes in the hunt camps. The food on the trip was almost worth the price. (But I wanted to hunt too, not just eat.) GREAT JOB. THANKS!!!
