I hunted with 307 outfitters last season along with 2 buddies. We saw elk everyday. My buddy bagged a nice 5x5. Food was good, accommodations were good considering how far into the backcountry you are. Hard to beat the country - absolutely gorgeous!
I had an unfortunate situation on the third day of my hunt when the mule I was riding spooked in the morning as we were riding through the pasture due to the free ranging stock stampeding towards us. I couldn’t control this mule and she threw me off causing me to fracture discs in my back and tearing my right rotator cuff.
My hunt was over at that point as I couldn’t hike or draw my bow. I was offered some basic first aid by Scott, the owner. He never offered to ride out and get me to a hospital. Further, after the hunt he never offered a refund of the balance of the hunt nor a discounted future hunt.
I tell you this to say, make sure you put thought into a horseback hunt. There was very little training on how to ride, so if you do decide to book with them, you may want to make sure you have some experience riding to mitigate the chances of a similar accident. Lastly, just know that if something were to happen, your expensive hunt will become a donation, with no care about your wellbeing nor professionalism or consideration with making things right.
