Hunting Deposit Policy
A partial deposit of $750 is required to book your hunt. The $750 partial deposit will be refunded if you do not draw a license. The drawing takes place in mid-April. The remainder of the deposit (50% of the cost of the hunt) is due when the draw is posted. The balance of the hunt is due 30 days prior to your hunt and is non-refundable. Hunts not fully paid by this date will be considered cancelled. Trip Cancellation Insurance, which we recommend, is available at: Travel Guard
We accept Credit Cards (Visa/MasterCard only) and Checks
Make Checks Payable to: Absaroka-Beartooth Outfitters, Inc.
Drop Camp Pricing
The base rate for a drop camp is $1500 per person. The rate for stock is $25 per hour per animal. Example: If you want to be dropped off 4 hours from the trailhead, this requires 8 hours round trip for your guide and his stock (4hrs. in + 4hrs. out = 8 hours). If the trip requires 2 animals (the horse you are riding and one pack mule) that would be ($25 per hour X 2 animals) X 8 hours = $400. Add the $400 to the base rate of $1500 and the total for your drop camp would be $1900.
