Summer Pricing and Info

*Please pay and tip all summer guides and staff directly. Do not pay Wild Country.

*All costs are based on per day per guide or staff.

Fishing Guide (2 fishermen per 1 guide):

  • Day fishing trip per guide (up to 8 hours): $350

  • Day fishing trip per guide w/drift boat (up to 8 hours): $450

    • If additional time is wanted (i.e., 10-12 hour days), the cost will be $400 per day and $500 per day w/drift boat)

  • Guides use their vehicles, gear, and flies. Tips show appreciation for a job well done and the guide’s experience and expertise. Tips range from $100-$200 per day per guide.

  • If a guide is hired for the day, he can take care of and provide equipment and supplies for two to four (2-4) anglers. If there are more than four anglers in the group, those additional anglers will need to bring their fishing supplies and equipment (i.e., rods, flies, lures, tippet, leader, etc.). The guide will still assist everyone in the group by showing what flies and lures to use, but he will not supply gear and equipment to the entire group.

  • Multiple guides can be hired per day. Therefore, everyone in the group would have a guide (two to four fishermen to one guide).

  • Guides can supply flies and lures to the group if everyone doesn’t want a guide assigned to them but would rather have more DIY fishing experience. This needs to be arranged beforehand. The lease group (fishing group) will need to reimburse the guide.

Shed Hunting

  • Shed hunting guide (per day): $300 plus tip

    • Guides help make the shed hunt a better experience. Guests typically find more sheds with a guide. The guides may also help shuttle guests around the ranch so that they do not have to hike as hard.

    • Even if a guide is not hired, at least one guide will be assigned to watch over the shed hunting group. (The group will not have to pay for this service. This guide will not be shuttling people around if a guide is not hired.) The guide will, more or less, be a host and oversee the group.

Prairie dog hunting, coyote hunting, Range shooting

  • Cost per guide (per day): $300 plus tip

  • Hunter must provide his rifle and ammo (unless prior arrangements are made).

    • If guests want to use the guide’s rifles and ammunition, they will need to reimburse the guides for the ammunition and rifle use. Guests may be billed for reimbursement for guide equipment usage and ammo costs.

  • Guides use their vehicles, gear, and equipment (If guests use guide’s rifles). Tips show appreciation for a job well done and the guide’s experience and expertise. Tips range from $100-$250 per day per guide.

Fall Grouse and duck hunting

Airport/Hotel Shuttle

  • Cost: $175 (one way per vehicle)

  • Depending on the luggage, three to four guests can be shuttled by one vehicle.

Lodging:

  • Each assignee (lease group) gets one stay and up to five nights to use the Lodge or Hell Canyon Facility.

  • If additional nights at the Lodge or Hells Facility are wanted, the cost is $750 per night.

    • Wild Country allows all lease groups to use the Lodge during the spring and summer. Therefore, additional nights are not always available.

  • If the lessee wants to split their lodge visits into multiple trips (i.e., use the lodge for three days in May, then again for two nights in June), the cost is $300 for the second trip for cleaning fees. If a cook is hired, the fee is waived (she builds cleaning into the cooking fee)

    • If the lessee wants to use the Hell Canyon Camp and has already used time at the Lodge, there will be a $250 cleaning fee.
