     Minam Lodge Outfitters offers Eagle Cap Wilderness hunting trips to hunters with tags for Minam Unit Elk, Deer and Bear. We also guide and pack for Cougar, Big Horn Sheep and Goats. We begin most of our hunts and packs from a fly in wilderness lodge, 8 miles from the nearest trail head. This offers hunters a unique experience, no roads or vehicles, and opportunity to fill your tag with a branch antler bull. Historically success rates are very good. Several of our hunts and summer trips were featured in major outdoor magazines like: Western Horseman; Sports Afield; Oregon & Washington Hunting; and Horse and Rider.
