Jonathan Crabtree: Idaho Elk Hunt Report

HUNT: Rifle Elk Hunt in Idaho
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International

October 15-20, 2015

Ryan put us on good animals almost everyday but the star was Lavoy. He is the best hunting guide ever. Good to talk to and experienced. I would suggest any Idaho hunt with Lavoy. In the end both my father and I kill very nice elk and I got a bonus mule deer in the process. We were very pleased.

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
