Idaho’s Premier Big Game Hunts
Elk, bear, and mountain lion hunts deep in Idaho’s backcountry, guided on horseback in some of the wildest terrain in the Lower 48.
A Legacy of Big Game Hunting in Idaho’s Wild Country
Heaven’s Gate Outfitters has been guiding hunters through Idaho’s rugged backcountry since 1967. What began with two modest camps and 350 square miles of permitted terrain has grown into nearly 1,200 square miles of prime hunting ground, divided across three fully-equipped camps.
With amenities like running water and hot showers in most camps, and access to some of the best elk, bear, and mountain lion habitat in the Lower 48, it’s no surprise that many of our hunters return year after year.
