I'm planning a central Idaho spring bear hunt to try pack llamas on an OTC tag before attempting renting even more for elk. Also looking for someone(s) to join if anyone is interested. I'll have an Argali Dyneema Absoroka with a stove within a couple weeks so we could fit 3. Posted a link to my post in the Rokslide Rally Point at the end for more details.
Looking for llama rental places and any stories. So far I'm leaning toward Wilderness Ridge due to what I've found in research, their YouTube channel and their convenient location in Idaho Falls. I also am looking into Hoodoo, Llama Peaks and Thunder Ridge all of which I believe are near Boise.
I know this is probably a big ask, but I'm hoping someone can point me to a general area that sees less traffic, but has a decent bear (and/or wolf) density. I'm far less worried about harvesting a bear than I am encountering horses, dogs etc on the trail my first time handling llamas, but the end goal would be having a bear to pack out too. Inbox me if it's anything specific.
Last, timing. I know this is a crap shoot and not all years are the same especially when it comes to snow melt but I still have to make reservations. I'm leaning towards mid May in hopes trail heads will be accessible, but not so much melt that creeks aren't passable. Open to any other advice and maybe that's off course all together.
For anyone that might be interested in the hunt, I based things on a 6 day hunt but it can be shortened to 3 or 4. Doesn't matter. Just know it requires at least a few hours at the ranch to get a crash course.
