The Sunset Trail Ride with HGO was above and beyond our expectations. The views were amazing, showed us a part of Idaho we never would have seen otherwise, and the dinner afterwards was wonderful.
Our guide went the extra mile to give us a great ride and we were treated very personally! We've been on other rides, but have to say, we never had a better, truer Western experience than riding with HGO.
Thanks Karen, Andy and Thad!
I wanted to write a thank you for the incredible bear hunting experience you provided me with in Idaho. I have been on many hunts over the years all across the United States and feel fortunate to have found you!
Not only was the hunt itself a terrific experience but the horseback riding, views and memories are something I will never forget. This by far was my favorite hunt to date and I would highly recommend Heaven's Gate to any of my fellow hunting friends.
I can't wait to return in the future to experience another successful hunt of a lifetime!
I have hunted with Heaven's Gate Outfitters three times and have one hunt scheduled with them this year. They have some of the best guides in the country working with them. Nick and Wes (two of their top guides) are awesome and make the hunts more fun than they ought to be. The accommodations, whether in the back country or on the ranch, leave nothing to be desired. There is no shortage of game in the country Heaven's Gate hunts, either, combining for not only a pleasant experience but usually a successful one, too.

I wanted to thank you for the great hunt this past fall. As you know I was able to harvest my first Bull Elk with your help after several attempts on my own. Heavens Gate Outfitters provided an excellent hunting experience and memories that will last a lifetime. The staff at the trailhead and camp were excellent and the camp accommodations were great and exceeded my expectations. It was enjoyable to have someone act upon our request instead of telling us how we needed to hunt. This in my mind is a true representation of HGO's willingness to go the extra mile for their clients. I look forward to the years ahead hunting with you and your staff, but more importantly I look forward to building upon the friendship that we started.
I just got back from a mountain lion hunt with HGO. My record book beast measures 9'2" from nose-tail. He was the talk of the town. We had bad conditions for tracking since the rain and warm days melted the snow on the south slopes. Half way into the hunt we got onto his 4 day-old tracks and with a lot of walking we and the dogs caught up to him. It took us 3 tries & 1.5 hours to get to the cat after he was treed due to the cliffs. I had to cross a river 3 times and almost got swept downstream. I was concerned that my T/C muzzle loader would misfire after getting wet but it worked fine. I had only 1 extra bullet left due to having to take a few practice shots earlier in the morning. I have hunted the world and this experience ranks at the top. --R. Blaisdell
Thanks so much for the Hunt. It was and is a dream come true for Stacy and I. She still gets so excited when she is telling people about the hunt. Thanks again for everything. --M. Chapman
It was a blast...thanks to our guides Nick & Wes. It was a great trip!
