SEMI-GUIDED HUNTS

Two Bear Outfitters offers a semi-guided economy hunt for those who wish to hunt on their own.  This hunt is run out of our main base camp and affords the hunter the freedom of hunting on their own, at their own pace.  When you return to base camp, supper will be on the stove and your tents will be warm.  This hunt takes the time consuming chores of cooking and cleaning out of the way so you can enjoy camp and focus on your hunt.  In the evenings, after supper, we will discuss the days events, pull out the maps and strategies for the next day.  A guide will accompany the hunters out into the field on one or possibly more days.  All quartering, packing, and caping will be done by us. 
 
These are good quality hunts in the heart of big bull country, but we recommend a certain amount of elk hunting experience for participants.  The ability to read and understand maps, or GPS systems is important.  We scout our areas nearly year around, and by the time you join us, we will have a good idea where you can find the elk.  We know where the active wallows, the bedding areas, natural licks, travel routes and feeding areas are located, and the use of a map or GPS is essential.  This is a horse back base camp hunt, but you will be able to access quality elk hunting right out of camp on foot.  It is common to hear bulls bugling right out of camp in the mornings, evenings, and through the night.  Two Bear Outfitters respects and appreciates folks wanting to do their own hunt, on their own terms, and we are committed to making your time with us as successful as possible. 

A typical day in the life of a semi-guided hunter goes as follows:  We give the breakfast wake up call on a star filled brisk morning.  A breakfast of eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, muffins, oatmeal, coffee and juice is served in the main dining tent.  The outfitter will go over the days strategy with all, prior to embarking on the days hunt.  Each hunter will pack their lunch with sandwiches prepared by the camp cook and choose from a cafe style selection of candies, cakes, chips, apples, oranges and other lunch treats for a lunch they will enjoy.  Semi-guided hunters leave and hunt at their own leisure, with most leaving in the dark and returning to camp after the sun has sunk in the western sky.  Upon return to camp, we all discuss the days events and the packer prepares to pack out whatever game was harvested.  A supper fit for a king is served complete with desserts made from scratch in our camp oven.  Hot showers are taken in the heated shower tent and the next days planning gets underway.  A few stories, most true, or at least partially true are told around the base camp fire before we retire for the night.
