Testimonials
Bountiful, Utah
“My nephew and I booked a bow hunt with Thunder Mountain Elk Ranch for the week of Nov. 5-9 2012. This was our first ever guided hunt anywhere. We wanted a chance a big bull unlike we would see in Idaho. I did research the best I could but I was still kind of nervous about how the outfitter was going to turn out. It turned out great. Our guide Billy worked hard to get us on Elk. I had several encounters I will never forget. They have big bulls on all their property and plenty of them. I wish I could go every year and hunt everyday there. My nephew was able to shoot a 368inch bull.
If you’re looking in Idaho, you can’t go wrong with Thunder Mountain Elk Ranch. They spend their time and money on getting you in front of big bulls. There is great lodging, but not the giant lodges that are there to push numbers of hunters through their property. Thunder Mountain Elk Ranch is all about the HUNT, and memories. Overall, it was a great hunt with a great outfitter, that has great bulls.”

“If it is the hunting experience of a lifetime that you’re looking for, then look no farther than Thunder Mountain Elk Ranch. My brother-in-law has been asking me to come hunt with him for the last 4 years and last year I finally agreed to go with him and man it was everything he told me and more. He told me you will not be disappointed, they have lots of elk and knowledgeable guides that will do everything they can to put you on that hunt of a lifetime.
Everything he told me could not have been more true and I loved every minute. I am already booked for 2016 and can’t wait to get there, so don’t waste your time looking for a better place to hunt. I didn’t. A big Thanks to the guys at Thunder Mountain Elk Ranch. See ya soon.”
