Meat

Clients are asked to quarter their kill and bag into evenly weighted game bags .The meat should be left on the bone (except for the neck and rib cage).  However, boning out the meat is acceptable if it is an extremely long/steep pack to the trail.  NOTE – all meat must be packed to a horse trail for pickup.

Elk – 2 hind quarters – 2 front shoulders and 2 evenly matched loose meat bags – Total: 6 bags.

Deer – 2 hind quarters – 2 front shoulders – Loose meat can be evenly distributed with the quarters. – Total: 4 bags.

Head & Antlers

Clients are asked to “Cap” the skull if there is no intention of a European style mount.  If a European mount is your plan, you are asked to skin out the skull in the field, remove the lower jaw, and remove as much of the meat on the skull as possible.

Hanging Your Animal / Waiting for Pickup

Please contact Del Sol immediately after killing an animal to arrange pickup and to discuss logistics.  You must get your animal to a trail and hang it appropriately to avoid spoilage. This is especially critical during archery season in the Snake River.  If you hang your meat, choose a shady side of a tree. The location of the meat must be clearly marked with flagging.

Plan to meet us at your base camp to go pickup your meat or at least direct us to it.

Meat Packouts

Del Sol is available to pack your elk or deer. Cost is $400 non-refundable deposit to hold a possible haul out date. Meat packs are $1,000-$1,200 , depending on location. This includes the $400 deposit.

Non-Hunters

Hunting camps are for a minimum of 2 clients. Additional non-hunter pays $1,000. IF there are only 2 in the party and one is a non-hunter, the non-hunter pays full price. 

What if I don’t draw my tag(s)?

Hunters that book and don’t draw will have their deposit rolled forward but will be expected to pay the price for the year the hunt actually takes place. We cannot guarantee the same camp as we typically are booked out a few years. The deposit will be rolled forward to the next open camp and date that is agreeable to Del Sol and the hunting party.
