HUNTING & LODGES
ELK / DEER HUNTS
The Middle Fork country is fantastic game rich country. We offer high country trophy mule deer hunts in combination with our elk hunts. These late season hunts are a great time to harvest a trophy buck.

We offer hunts over baits, spot and stalk hunting, and for the adventuresome, hound hunting. We have an abundance of bears and a large area to hunt them in.
MT. LION HUNTS

B-C RANCH
The B Bar C Ranch is a privately owned ranch that we lease. The B Bar C has 200 acres of pasture & hill land that we use for fishing, hiking, and horse graze. The ranch has two main cabins, two main barns, a private plane hangar, as well as numerous outbuildings. The ranch maintains a relaxed and comfortable feel.
SHEEP / GOAT HUNTS
Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goats are most sportsmen's dreams. We can make that dream come true. We offer ten day fully guided hunts with two guides per hunter.
GUIDE & PACKER SCHOOL
The guiding profession is one of the greatest outdoor jobs available to the modern day mountain man. Before heading to camp, a guide must have the skills and desire to work long hard hours under the same conditions that Jim Bridger and Kit Carson trapped beaver in the Shining Mountains.
“Hunted with Ron twice. Our group of 5 did 2 horseback trips into the Frank Church after elk in 2012 and 2014. Equipment was excellent, livestock was excellent, food was excellent, companionship was excellent; Ron is one to ride the river with. A true master of the Wilderness.” - David Bryce
