Advancements in technology have provided man a significant competitive advantage in the field. Long gone are the days of Prince Luigi Amedeo, who in 1909 led an expedition to climb K2 in Karakorum with wood handled tools and woolen suits. Or John Jeremiah Garrison Johnston who famously survived a wintery escape by feeding on a limb of one of his captors. At McGowan Outfitting we look to level the playing field, to take a step back in time and to take the emphasis off of technology and to put that emphasis back on our skill, physical fitness, survival techniques and mental fortitude. ATV’s, UTV’s, dirt bikes, long range shots and complaining are not part of our core philosophy. We seek hunters who want to share a complete physical and mental challenge. McGowan Outfitting Inc. offers two kinds of elk/deer hunts; The traditional wall tent camp with home cooked meals and comfortable accommodations. For the more adventurous, we offer self-sustained off the back hunts. Both hunts are extremely effective, but we provide both to accommodate our hunters preference. At the end of a successful hunt all involved will be proud of what they have accomplished and the memories will be branded in our minds for eternity.
We pride ourselves on our fair chase tactics and our ability to harvest game in their natural habitat. McGowan Outfitting will take you on the ultimate Idaho adventure using traditional methods in some of the most pristine, abundant and diverse wilderness this planet has to offer. We work hard, hunt hard and produce results ethically. Visitors can expect sweat, maybe a little blood, and tears of euphoria following a sensational outdoor experience. Clients will be accompanied by the best guides in the business, professionals whom prioritize safety, experience, success and share the McGowan vision and approach to the outdoors. Join us.
Your adventure awaits in Idaho.
