ELK & DEER HUNTS - White Cloud Outfitters

White Cloud Outfitters runs fully guided big game hunts across Idaho's high country, operating under special use permits with Salmon-Challis National Forest, Sawtooth National Forest, and BLM lands. They're licensed, bonded, and members of the Idaho Outfitters & Guides Association.

These 7-day horseback archery hunts take place in the White Cloud Mountains during September, targeting mature branch-antlered bulls. Mule deer is optional. Camps sit at high elevation with 12,000-foot snow-capped peaks and golden aspen stands as your backdrop.

Camp Setup: - Heated wall tents (14×16 and 16×20) - Bunk beds or cots with foam pads - Separate cook tent with home cooking - Horseback access only (1.5-3.5 hours riding distance) - Horses corralled nightly

High elevation rifle hunts in October across alpine basins and open sage habitat. Hunters glass for bachelor bucks moving to fall rutting grounds. Elevation ranges from 7,000 to 10,000 feet.

• •Format: 7-day hunts from spike camps, hunting by horseback and foot. Riding time to camps: 45 minutes to 3.5 hours.

Trophy elk hunts available October-November. Cow elk hunts (4 days) run October 1 - November 30 at $4,200 (single) or $3,800 each (pair). November muzzleloader hunts available.

Only guided hunts are offered. No drop camps. Individual attention and small group sizes mean archers get serious odds at success. All meals included, served family-style.

Beyond hunting, they offer horseback trips, fly fishing (Chinook salmon, steelhead, mountain lakes), hiking and backpacking in the White Clouds, river floats on 120+ miles of the Salmon River, and llama trekking.
