10-Day Teton Wilderness Pack Hunts (Elk and/or Moose) Our Hawks Rest Camp is located in the Teton Wilderness northeast of Jackson...It sets off the southeast corner of Yellowstone Park between the Yellowstone and Thorofare Rivers...(Area 60 on a Game & Fish map)...It is a one day-pack 28 miles, from our base camp at Turpin Meadows...The Hawks Rest camp holds the reputation of being the furthest spot in the continental United States from a road in any direction.  Our fully equipped camp consists of a large Cook Tent, Sleeping Tents, with Cots, Foam Mattresses, and Wood burning Stoves, along with plenty of fire wood. We are proud to say that our camps hold an excellent reputation earned by hiring reputable licensed Guides, maintain a clean comfortable camp, serving good food and supplying both good horses, mules and equipment.  7-Day Teton Wilderness Pack Hunts (Elk or Moose only) This hunt is scheduled during October from our Hawks Rest Camp on the Yellowstone in the Teton Wilderness for those who cannot spend 10 days on a hunt. It is the same quality pack-in hunt with a quality wilderness camp experience, but just a shorter hunt.  Airline Services and Transportation of Firearms
There is an airport eight miles north of Jackson with several major airlines flying in and out of Jackson Hole daily. Please check with your airline concerning type of case needed to transport your firearm. Most airlines require hard gun cases. Game Processing Game is packed out shortly after it is killed, and delivered to Locker Plant. You can have it cut, wrapped and frozen to be transported if you wish. Dry ice and shipping cartons are available and extra. Most Asked Questions Over the years, we have had many, many hunters ask the same question - What is the best hunt to come on and what is the best time??? Also, what is your percent of Kill??? There is no single hunt date over the years that has proven to be the best time - it varies from year to year. The rut for elk normally runs from the opening of the season, through the first week in October from our Teton Wilderness Camp, and in this camp the later hunts bring weather and snow. So due to different conditions from year to year the hunts will vary. This makes all of the hunts at one time or another the best from year to year. All hunts usually produce very well.  The percent of kill and success ratio will vary from year to year due to weather fluctuations, ability and skill of hunters' shooting and "Lady Luck." According to reports we file each year with the State Board of Outfitters and Guides, our kill percentages consistently runs between 80% and 90% on elk and moose from our Wilderness Camp. Most hunters have an opportunity, with game that is either killed, missed, wounded or turned down, Success is 90% to 95% on all hunts. Our area, #60, is one of, if not the best, area in the state for hunter success for Elk and Moose. This is Trophy Country and we hunt and do all possible to take trophy animals!  |
