HUNTING
When the leaves start to rustle, the nights get frosty, and the elk begin to bugle, here at Cheff Legacy Outfitters we turn our full attention to hunting. We hunt the vast Flathead National Forest area. The country is remote, rugged and wild.
No corners are cut when preparing for your hunt. You will be pleasantly surprised at our clean, comfortable base camps in the heart of the back country. We serve excellent meals, use quality equipment, and provide excellent horses that are well conditioned and ready to go. We have 2 base camps to choose from: Big Salmon Camp and Bartlett Camp.
From camp we travel by horseback to different drainages during each hunt. This enables us to access some of the most remote and beautiful areas in the country. Expect a rigorous and chalenging hunt that is not for the faint of heart.
Big Salmon Camp
Big Salmon camp is a 20 mile horseback ride into camp. It is located on the bank of Little Salmon Creek and is 45 minute ride above Big Salmon Lake the largest lake in the Bob Marshall.
At camp the tents are wall tents, there is a large cook tent, guide tent, hunter tents (usually 2-3 hunters per tent), shower tent, outhouse, corrals, fire pit. In the hunter tents we provide cots, wood stove, drying racks, chairs, table, wash bins.
All meals are served family-style in the cook tent around a large table. Breakfast is served before day break, the cook provides hunters with a sack lunch for the day of hunting, and dinner is served when hunters return for the evening, followed by dessert.
Clients are welcome to bring alcohol, we just don't provide it but we are happy to pack it in.
The Big Salmon camp is located in a draw so the terrain is steeper than the Bartlett camp. Elevation of camp is 4500ft, elevation of some trails we use can be up to 8000ft elevation
Bartlett Camp
Bartlett camp is located at the mouth of Bartlett Creek and the South Fork of the Flathead River and is a 28 mile ride into camp.
Camp is the same as the Big Salmon camp as regards to what we provide, meals, guides, horses.
The Bartlett camp is located on the river bottom with trails leading to the surrounding mountains.
Elevation of camp is 4500ft elevation of some trails we use can be up to 7000ft elevation.
We utilize horses and mules as much as possible and as much as clients are comfortable. We can also hike from camp. We have raised and break all of our own stock and know them well. They are all descendants from our great-grandfathers original herd from 1932 when we started outfitting in the Bob Marshall and packing horses/mules.
Our guides have worked with us and our stock for years and are knowledgeable of the area, game, and stock.
