Area 40 Back Country Tent Camp
Rifle or Archery Hunts Available 

This is a Back Country Tent Camp where horses are used for riding and packing meat.  This hunt is conducted on National Forest Service land.  Each tent is equipped with wood stoves, cots, foam pads, and lighting.  You'll enjoy home style cooked meals prepared by an experienced mountain camp cook.  Your horses will be cared for and ready to work for you each day. This camp offers all the perks of a truly rugged western experience combined with excellent elk hunting opportunities. The archery season opens September 1st but we usually don't start our hunts until around the middle of the month because the temperatures are still too warm at the beginning and the elk are not in full rut yet.  The rifle season for bulls in this area is October 15th- November 4th.
