Our Top 10 Hunting Lodges in the American Backcountry

This article about hunting lodges is brought to you by Morsel spork, whose spork  includes a spatula, a stirring spoon, a fork, a knife, and a tablespoon all in one. It’s the last spork you’ll ever need!

Hunting lodges have experienced a renewal in popularity of late, if not because of the activities offered there, then for the amenities and opportunities for outdoor exploration that continue to improve. Families interested in staying at a hunting lodge can expect horseback rides for the kids, swimming pools, and daily activities to keep the whole family entertained. Adults seeking some time away from the little ones can find at any lodge on this list a variety of ways to escape the day-to-day craziness, whether it be taking a guided fly fishing trip, going bird hunting on some of the best land in the country, or indulging in the high quality cuisine that’s offered across the board. Whether you’re visiting for company, solitude, or to reconnect with your wilder side, hunting lodges are no longer just for hunting, they’re for hiking, fishing, relaxing, and, above all, getting outside.

10 Hunting Lodges For Cabin Camping in the American Backcountry

While there are a few longtime staples on this list of our favorite hunting lodges, many of these American backcountry havens have revamped their offerings, from guided hunting and fishing excursions to ATV adventures to five-star cuisine and spa accommodations. It’s like glamping, only better.

1. Broken Arrow Lodge —Alder, MT

Photo from Broken Arrow Lodge

Located out of Alder, Montana, the Broken Arrow lodge sponsors guided trips for bow hunting, elk hunting, rifle hunting, and mountain lion hunting, all located in the expansive Montana backcountry. Visitors pay for guided trips between 3 – 5 days (4 – 6 nights), and the Broken Arrow Lodge provides luxurious backcountry accommodations, including wall tents, wood stoves, carpeted floors, and full bathroom and shower amenities.

There are few backcountry “camping” experiences that will match the Broken Arrow’s attention to detail and expertise in the field. Trips are available throughout the year, and vary depending on weather conditions and hunting restrictions for the area. For hunters who also wield a fly rod, the Broken Arrow Lodge offers guided fly fishing trips as well.

2. Grey Cliffs Ranch —near Bozeman, MT

Photo from Grey Cliffs Ranch

Another Montana staple, this lodge is located in the cinema-famous Madison River Valley, most commonly known as the setting for the iconic film “ A River Runs Through It ”. With a variety of offerings, from bird hunting to fly fishing, this hunting lodge is tough to beat, as it combines the luxury of a well-established lodge with the excitement and ruggedness of the Montana wilderness. Located on over 5,200 acres of landscape, the opportunities for guests here abound, and guide-optional hunting means that visitors can take to the fields at their leisure. Not to mention the food!

3. Three Forks Ranch —Wyoming/Colorado Border

Photo from Three Forks Ranch

This Colorado hunting lodge offers over 50,000 acres of private hunting grounds, including large populations of deer, elk, and antelope. During the early fall, populations of elk have been known to grow in this region up to 6,000 head, solidifying its position as one of the premier hunting lodges in the Wyoming / Colorado region. Along with offering prime access to otherwise private land, guests at the Three Forks can enjoy the five-star amenities such as the pool, fine dining, and an array of spa services. Despite its location in the backcountry, this hunting lodge is no stranger to the comforts of luxury.

4. Flying B Ranch —near Kamiah, ID

Slightly more rustic than its luxurious counterparts, Flying B Ranch is tucked away in Lawyer’s Canyon in Northern Idaho, just outside of the little town of Kamiah. Flying B offers world-class hunting trips, including guides and services that have been endorsed by Orvis both as a Wingshooting Lodge of the Year and an official, Orvis-approved Fly-Fishing Lodge. With access to over 700,000 acres of Nez Pearce and Clearwater National Forest land, guests are given the chance to access some of the best backcountry in the world.

5. Harpole’s Heartland Lodge —near Nebo, IL

Specializing in whitetail deer hunting, upland bird hunting, and waterfowl hunting, Harpole’s Heartland Lodge is a perfect place in the midwest for a hunting excursion or a quick backcountry vacation.

Its bed and breakfast-style amenities make staying there a breeze, even if you’re not hunting. With opportunities for horseback riding, ATV-ing, mountain biking, and hiking, this Mississippi River Valley gem is a great option for all types of hunters and outdoors enthusiasts.

6. Brush Creek Ranch & French Creek Sportsman’s Club—near Saratoga, WY

Photo from Libby Camps

One of the only east coast hunting lodges on our list, Libby Camps is set on the beautiful Millinocket Lake, home to hunters and anglers alike looking for their next big catch. The central lodge at the Libby is primarily suited for fly fishermen, though its hunting amenities are certainly nothing to shake a stick at. The lodge provides access and guided trips to the North Maine Woods, home to over 3.5 million (yes, million) acres of land and one of the largest grouse populations in the entire United States. In addition to that, visitors may also hunt black bears or moose, depending on the year, and Libby is a proud owner of records in both of those species. The amenities at Libby camps are slightly more rustic than the “luxury” backcountry hunting lodges on our list, offering small log cabins with wood-burning stoves, which surround the main lodge complete with its tall stone fireplace and group dining area.

8. Honey Brake —Larto, LA

As hunting lodges go, Honey Brake is world-class. Guests staying at Honey Brake have the opportunity to test their wingshooting skills in one of the largest flyway convergences in the country. Both the Central and Mississippi migratory patterns converge over Honey Brake, making it a wingshooter’s paradise. For those not interested in the birds, the Dewey Wills Wildlife Management Area, located just adjacent to the 20,000 acre hunting area, provide ample opportunities whitetail deer and wild boar hunting as well. Looking for the amenities? The 13,000 square-foot lodge looks over Larto Lake, and offers 5-star meals full of rich, southern seafood delights.

A premier bird-hunting destination, Deer Creek Lodge is a haven for hunters and anglers alike located in Sebree, Kentucky.

10. Joshua Creek —near Waring, TX

The 2018 Orvis Endorsed wingshooting lodge of the year, Joshua Creek is tucked away just 45 minutes north of San Antonio.

Guaranteed Elk and Deer Tags

Mile High Outfitters offers horseback, tent camp, wilderness hunting and fishing trips in the Frank Church Wilderness in Central Idaho. No one can guarantee a trophy bull or state record fish; but here’s what we can promise. We will provide sound, quality horses and mules, your professional guides will work hard, you will get to visit God’s greatest creation in the largest wilderness in the lower 48 and, even though you will eat like a horse, you will lose weight because we will work your ass off. Elk, deer, lion, bear and wolf tags are guaranteed.

Mile High has two major areas of operation. The original area is in the center of the Frank Church Wilderness and the front range area is on the edge of the wilderness. Both areas are rugged and beautiful, and they kill people every year who are not prepared or take them for granted. Both areas use horses and mules and offer tent camp accommodations. There are two major differences between the two areas. The wilderness has a long rifle season stretching from Sept. 15- Nov. 18 for elk, deer, bear lion and wolf. The front range, because it is more accessible, has a shorter rifle season but also has an archery season for elk and deer. The other major difference, because the wilderness is so vast and it takes us 2 days to ride stock in, we fly our customers into the wilderness via one of the air strips. Even though the front range is more accessible, it has very limited tags. Physical fitness is a must if you accompany us on one of our wilderness or front range hunts. Elk and Mule Dear hunts can be booked as a 1×1, 2×1 or we can do drop camps in the front range. Lion hunts are only booked as a 1×1. Bear and wolf hunts can be booked as a 1×1 or 2×1. fishing trips can be booked as guided or drop camp for both lake and stream fishing.

Guided Hunting Trips

BIGHORN SHEEP

MOUNTAIN LION

MOUNTAIN GOAT

Travis, Brenda, Charlie and Clay Bullock, owners of Mile High Outfitters, live in Challis, Idaho and are the backbone of this elk, mule deer, black bear and mountain lion outfitting and guide business. They offer both fly in and pack in hunting and fishing trips into the Frank Church Wilderness and the Salmon River Mountains. Travis started working for Con Hourihan at Taylor Ranch Outfitters and Scott Farr at Wilderness Outfitters in 1984 when he was 15 years old. He and Brenda bought Mile High Outfitters in 1995. Since then, they have added three other businesses to their operation including the old Big Creek Lodge area, the Lucky Boy Outfitters area which was the original White Cloud Outfitters area and a portion of the Gary Madsen, 4×4 Outfitters area. Combined, Mile High has approximately six hundred and fifty square miles of hunting and fishing area in the Frank Church Wilderness and the Salmon River Mountains. The wilderness fish and game units are 26, 27 and 20-A which is considered the Middle Fork elk zone. The front range area is located between Stanley and Challis between the Salmon River Mountains, the Sawtooth Mountains and the Boulder/White Cloud mountains. Our front range hunts are in fish and game units 36 and 36-B which are part of the Sawtooth and Salmon elk Zones. There are over 150 miles of streams and 20 high mountain lakes to fish in Mile High Outfitters’ exclusive guiding and outfitting area.

Travis and Brenda’s two boys, Charlie and Clay Bullock are the 4th generation of Bullocks to hunt and fish the same area. Their great grandfather, Claude Bullock took their grandfather Craig elk hunting on Big Creek in 1957; back when it was known as the Idaho Primitive area. Each year Travis, Charlie, Clay and the guides break one or two horses and mules to add to the forty head of stock in their pack string. Brenda takes care of the office and keeps her boys in line. This family does everything it can to make your wilderness hunting and fishing trip enjoyable and safe. They maintain their string of horses, mules, riding saddles, pack equipment, tents, trucks, trailers, snowmobiles and ATVs constantly. Mile High guides are experienced in horsemanship and eager to help. They have eyes like an eagle, are in good shape and are experienced at spotting and stalking game. They understand that most hunters will not be able to keep up and they are professional enough to let you go at your own pace but please – no whining.

Mile High, through the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board, has an allocation of guaranteed non-resident elk and deer tags. These non-resident tags were greatly limited by unit in 2020. Mile High is insured, bonded, a member of the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association, permitted on the Challis BLM, Salmon/Challis Forest and Krassel Ranger district on the Payette Forest and is licensed by the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board – license number 7940.

If you book a trip with Mile High Outfitters, you will be required to fill out a contract. This contract protects both you and Mile High. It gives the specific trip dates, where to show up and exact costs. Our insurance company also requires an acknowledgement of risk form be filled out by each guest. Mile High will send a recommended gear list for your trip and there are two videos on this site that cover some of the items you may or may not need during your hunting or fishing trip. Mile High Outfitters has an allocation of guaranteed elk and deer tags for our clients but they are limited so we encourage hunters to book early.

Age and Weight limits – Due to misuse of our stock by overweight clients, we have a weight limit on each client of 250 pounds. If you look heavier than what your contract says, we will weigh you with your clothes on. If you are heavier than 250 pounds, you will not be allowed to ride our stock. We apologize if you do not fit this category, but we work hard to provide the best riding stock possible. We care deeply for our horses and mules, and we can’t risk clients hurting them. I won’t sugar coat it, if you’re so fat your belly hits the saddle horn and your ass hangs over the cantle, don’t call us! There is no age limit. If you feel young enough at heart to join us on an adventure, we will do our best to accommodate you. Age catches all of us and unlike obesity, it is not a choice. The oldest hunter we have ever taken was 94. He was 5’ 10” and 150 pounds. He lion hunted with me 4 times and killed 3 cats. If he wanted to hunt again, I would sign him up tomorrow.

Unsafe gun handling – As guides, we expect each client to handle their weapon so as not to endanger the guides and other hunters. The first time you point your rifle at someone, we will ask you to point it in a safe direction. The second time you do it, we will haul you back to the trailhead and send you home. There is no room for stupidity when it comes to firearms.

Hunting and fishing trips can be booked as a guided trip or drop camp. Most hunters book as a 1×1 (one guide per hunter) or 2×1 (two hunters per guide). Guided hunts are much more successful than drop camps because we use horses and mules each day to hunt and therefore, we cover much more country. Hunters are also accompanied by guides who know the area and are familiar with the habits of the game. Drop camp fishing trips are very popular and work well for enthusiastic fishermen in both the high mountain lakes and wilderness stream fishing. We offer a few drop camp hunting trips outside the wilderness and it is an economical way to access hard to reach areas but we have very few openings and they usually sell out fast. We do not put drop campers on top of guided hunters or vice versa.

We highly recommend trip cancelation insurance. Due to the ever-changing wilderness environment, forest fires, smoke, mud slides, foul weather, and other acts of God, we are sometimes kept from providing all or part of your trip.   Each year hunters cancel out due to work, health issues, etc. and either want their money back or roll their hunt over for the following year. Because we do not overbook, we expect each client to follow the contract. If you do cancel out, there are three options. First, use your trip cancelation insurance. If you did not buy insurance, find someone to fill your spot. Lastly, we will try to fill your spot and if we do, we will refund your money minus a 10% fee.

Fish and Game laws and ethics. We expect all our customers to obey all fish and game laws and to act as ethically as possible. If you wound an animal, that is the only one of that species you are allowed to shoot unless the guide feels the animal will be fine. Anyone who brings a scope with long range turrets must have covers on the turrets so they do not spin while going down the trail in the rifle scabbard. If you show up with exposed turrets, you will be asked to leave. We have had more problems with wounded game from wannabe long range shooters with exposed turrets than anything else.

We have found that most problems come from a lack of communication, and we have done everything we can to give you as much information as possible. We want you to enjoy your time with Mile High, but you need to be realistic about your expectations as well as ours. Our piece of God’s country is beautiful but rugged. It is there to be enjoyed but will kill you in a heartbeat if you underestimate it. We will work hard and do our best to accommodate you but the choice to have a good time is up to you. We prepare as best we can for your trip, but mother nature gets the last word in how your trip ultimately plays out.

Honey Brake Lodge

318-775-1007

Luxury Guided Waterfowl Hunts

With the convergence of the Central and Mississippi migratory flyways, Honey Brake has an abundance of duck and goose species.

Our Landscape Is One-Of-A-Kind

Our proximity to Catahoula Lake, 38,000 acres of waterfowl wintering grounds, and the Mississippi River creates a “funnel” effect that brings the best that waterfowling has to offer to Honey Brake. Located on nearly 20,000 acres of the Old Louisiana Delta Plantation, we have 65 duck blinds in agriculture fields and moist soil areas within our Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP).

Conservation Is A Top Priority

Almost 9,000 of our 20,000 acres is set in a Wetlands Reserve Project (WRP) tract for the development of water control structure, making it the largest single-owned WRP project in the state. As an additional benefit to the WRP project, we are seeing a naturally occurring restoration of habitat, which is crucial for sustaining a population of upland birds like quail, woodcock and doves as well as migrating wintering waterfowl and shorebirds.
