    Pack service for resident hunters

    Looking to book a trip in 2021/22 with a pack outfitter. For those that have done this type of hunt, what are your recommendations? I have been looking at a horse pack in. Was on Steamboat Mt. Outfitters web site. It looks pretty interesting.
    thanks for any input

    What critters are you looking to hunt? are you looking to be dropped off and picked up? fly in an option or only dropped off with horses? lots of options so some info on what your looking to get out of your trip will help to guide you in the right direction

    Check Tetsa River Outfitters. 10 days horseback,

    Made payable for an amount of 'up to
    and including my life'. That is Honor, and there are way too many people

    Looking at moose hunting. We went on the muskwa a couple years ago for elk. Thinking this time we’d like to use a horse packer to take us in. They offer camp, meals and transport of downed animals by horse. Sounds much better than packing on your back lol

    Same question from me. Turning 60 this year. Probably deserve making it wicked...

    I was thinking Steamboat, but will now also look at Tetsa.

    I can do more than one trip. I would like a caribou and moose, and if possible I'd also throw in elk. I've done horse and fly in trips and am up for either/both.
