Under no circumstances are you allowed to hunt if you have been drinking or with a hangover!
A. We would like you to come a day before your hunt dates. You will either book a room in St. Regis, MT, or Avery, ID, depending on the type of hunt you booked and if the pass leading to camp is open. The weather on the pass is a huge factor. We always let you know ahead of time where you will stay. We recommend you drive a 4x4 in the bear and elk seasons, as the snow could be there in May, and it’s usually there in October.

We highly recommend travel insurance in case of unexpected road closures, extreme weather (mostly snow or extreme rain with flooding), injuries to guides or staff, fires, trail closures, etc. We also recommend Life Flight Insurance if you would ever need to be flown out due to health or an injury. Flight insurance costs around $99 a year, but if you don’t have it and need to fly out, it will cost you around $10,000.
