Granite Peak Outfitters is your premier Idaho elk hunting outfitter, offering guided elk hunts in Idaho’s legendary Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Hunting Rocky Mountain Elk is a deep-seated passion amongst many hunters, and for many more it represents the ultimate bucket list trophy hunt. As one of the most experienced elk hunting outfitters in Idaho, we offer trophy Archery Elk hunts from Aug 30 – Sep 30 and Rifle Elk hunts from Oct 10 – Nov 3. Our guided elk hunts in Idaho are not elk farm or high fence style hunts. On the contrary, hunters will find themselves deep in the vast expanses of the Idaho backcountry, pursuing wild Rocky Mountain elk across thousands of acres of pristine wilderness. We operate from a remote and peaceful basecamp that offers a comfortable mix of rustic cabins and well-maintained wall tents, all equipped with reliable heating sources to ensure you sleep comfortably each night after a long day on the mountain.

Archery Elk Hunting in Idaho
Our Idaho archery elk hunts can very quickly become some of the biggest adrenaline rushes of your life. Hunting big Idaho bulls with your bow while they are bugling during the mating season proves to be one of the most action-packed guided elk hunts we can offer. If you seek a true backcountry elk hunting experience, then come during September when the bull elk are full of testosterone and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness is alive with activity. Archery shots can be as close as 10 yards or as far as 60 yards, so it is best to practice at a multitude of angles and distances to ensure your shot is true. As an experienced Idaho elk hunting outfitter, we position our archery hunters in proven elk habitat along migration corridors, wallows, and natural funnels. Our guides have spent years learning the terrain and elk behavior patterns in this remote corner of Idaho, giving our clients the best possible opportunity at a trophy bull.
Rifle Elk Hunting in Idaho
Our guided rifle elk hunts start October 10th and run all the way through November 3rd. Idaho has some of the most rewarding elk hunting the country can offer, and harvesting a mature bull elk in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness will give you a profound sense of accomplishment. Our rifle hunts take place from as low as 2,900 ft to as high as 7,000 ft in elevation across rugged Idaho backcountry terrain. During this time of the year, our guides use a multitude of hunting methods including spot-and-stalk, calling, and still-hunting to increase our odds of harvesting a mature Idaho bull elk.
