I booked a boundary hunt last year for 2024. That was the earliest they had. That's the farthest out I've booked a hunt for but after my research and reading this thread I feel really good about my decision.

You have nothing to worry about, it's a good area with lots of good genetics food and security for the elk. They need a grizzly season though!

BJ seems like a real salt of the earth type of guy. Really looking forward to this hunt.

I booked my wife and daughter for the boundry hunt. Should be a good hunt.

I'm booked for Oct. 2022, have 5 points so hopefully it works out..Just bought a 300 rum as BJ didn't make me feel confident with my 7mm..

Yes, he was very stern on his 300 or higher caliber standards. While I understand where he is coming from with his logic, it ignores a couple key factors one of them being a person needs to be comfortable with their equipment. A shot fired from a 6.5 could potentially be better than a shot fired from a 300WM if the person is afraid of the WM.

What camp and time are you going out Yamadude?

 

[Yamadude]

if I get the tag I believe I'm booked camp 3 week of Oct.21st. or close to it..

 

[Chris A Wright]

Cool. You shouldn't have any trouble drawing with 5 points. It's a general license. Last year it was 100% with anything over 3 points. We are Park Boundary Camp, starting on 10-4.

BJ had no problems with us shooting a 28 Nosler or a 7MM when he asked.

Interesting. When we talked with him a couple years ago he was insistent on a 300 mag or higher.

Any updates on your hunt?

 

[Chris A Wright]

Sure. We had an incredible experience here. The week we went was super tough from a hunting perspective, warm temps, wall to wall sunshine and a full moon, every single day. Needless to say, hunting was difficult. Everyone in camp except one, who left with 3 days to hunt had shot opportunities on nice bills, 4 out of six killed, one wounded and like I said one left. They worked their tales off. Great food, great accommodations for a back country feel. If you are looking for a back country horse back, I highly recommend, be prepared for early mornings and some seat time in the truck of you hunt the boundary camp, they will drive to trail heads with the best hunting opportunities. One day we drove **** near to Idaho before we started hunting. I preferred this over the spike camps as you have a lot more ground you can cover.

To sum it up, top notch experience with top notch people, but may not be for everyone, need to understand you are still hunting public land and it is hunting, not killing. We are booked to go back in 2026 and looking forward to it each day.

Happy to chat further if you want additional information.
