The Area, Food & Lodging

Generally for breakfast, it’s oatmeal or freeze dried eggs or freeze dried breakfast meal.

For lunch it’s usually cheese and sausage and all the hunters get a snack bag for the day that’s already pre-packed.

Depending on the hunt, mostly the river hunts for bears, we’re able to bring fresher and heavier food because the boat is doing all the work. And we don’t have to load it into a plane.

For dinner is usually a freeze dried meal with tortillas.

And if you’re doing sheep, Moose, or a mountain goat, we usually cook fresh meat with the meal with cheese and tortillas.

We try to make sure that any of the hunters give notice of allergies or anything like that before the hunt. Some of the free dried meals have peanuts in them.
