I spent 10 amazing days with Strite and his team pursuing mt lion this past season. What an amazing adventure. Top of the line snow machines and gear, amazing dogs and phenomenal accomodations. I will be back next year and as many following as they will have me. You won't find a more professional crew in the industry. Thanks Strite and team. Looking forward to next year.

Top notch! A fishing trip of a life time! Rich and the rest of the team at Wilderness Lodge deliver an amazing experience! They are dialed in on what it takes to pull of such a massive experience. Multi-day horse back ride and mule train into the Bob Marshall wilderness. 5 days of fly fishing in a setting that is essentially a majestic painting. Unreal! The team go out of their way to make guests comfortable and happy. You'll never see anything quite like it anywhere else. I'm heading back for sure! Highly recommended!
