Hardpan Camp:

Our original camp, right in an excellent migration area, a trophy hunter's delight. This camp has a general season for elk, Oct. 1-21, but we use it primarily for trophy deer hunts and late elk hunting.

Late bull elk tags are limited but 100% success since 1983 speaks for itself. For hunters interested in harvesting a cow elk we offer a 3 day late cow hunt. These tags are historically easy to obtain and fill and you still get a taste of camp life. If you physically can't handle the rigors of a mountain hunt, we have other options available for cow hunters. We offer 2 trophy deer hunts per year - Oct. 28-Nov.3 and Nov. 5-11. These are 7 day migration hunts with 24-27 inch bucks common.

Hardpan Camp is located at 7,500 feet, 12 miles inside the Washakie Wilderness of the Shoshone National Forest. About 3 1/2 hour ride from the trail head. We operate in the Shoshone Forest under a special use permit.

Two hunters share a 10 x 12 ft. tent with 5 ft. side walls. Also provided are a wood-burning stove, cots and foam pads for sleeping.

Meals and recreation tent is 14 x 16 ft., with 5 ft. side walls. It is furnished with tables, chairs and a wood-burning stove...a great gathering place for telling tales of the day!

Butte Creek Camp:

Adjacent to Yellowstone, the Thorofare region is one of the few places to hunt elk during the rut. A general elk tag area, we have consistently been at least 90 % successful on mature bull elk (5x5 or better). As a bonus, the elk & deer gun seasons run together giving you the option to combo hunt.

While we don't kill many deer in September, by the first of October, till seasons end, hunters are consistently killing quality deer along with their elk. To some degree the success of your hunt depends on your preparation; however, this area year after year offers a 90 % or better chance at a 5x5 or better bull elk.  Filled out hunters and ride-alongs are only allowed to go on afternoon hunts in this camp.

Butte Creek Camp is located at 8,900 ft., 24 miles inside Bridger-Teton Wilderness Area. This remote camp is located 7 hours from the trail head. We operate in the Bridger-Teton under a special use permit. Two hunters share a 12 x 14 ft. tent with 5 ft. side walls. Wood stoves, cots, foam pads and lanterns are provided.  Up until the last hunt of the season, a hot shower is available in camp. Meals are served in a 20 x 40 ft. tent, which doubles as a recreation tent used for card playing and sharing the day's adventures.
