Let's Go Hunting
Idaho Big Game Hunting Outfitters
For 29 years our hunters are enjoying high success rates with elk, bear, and mountain lion hunts and this year promises to be a good year! Our Central Idaho hunting land is located in the Salmon-Challis National Forest. They border the famous Frank Church Wilderness and represent over 600 square miles of prime Idaho country. The weapons of choice are rifle, muzzle loader, hand guns and archery. All of our Idaho hunts are guided, no drop camps are available. For the ultimate experience in hunting destinations, we invite you to take a look at the different Idaho big game hunts we offer.

OUR HUNTER’S SAY IT BEST!
“Thanks for the outstanding bow hunt. Even if I had not taken a bull elk, the trip would have been very enjoyable. Everything about the week was first class: the location, the quantity / quality of elk, the food, the camp, the horses and, most of all the people. I look forward to my next hunt with Rawhide!”
“Of all the hunts I have ever been on, Rawhide Outfitters is by far the best. They are easy going, hardworking people. They wanted me to get my bear just as much as I did. I don’t know what I enjoyed more: Getting my bear or meeting the Cranneys.”
“I had the best hunt of my life with Rawhide Outfitters. It was amazing how hard they worked for me to make my hunt as meaningful and successful as possible. My lion hunt was packed full of adventure, excitement, good food, hospitality and beautiful country. To harvest such a beautiful tom on the third day of the hunt far exceeded my expectations! Thanks for the GREAT memories and friendship.”
