Idaho Spring Bear — Salmon River Canyon Jet Boat Access

Lodge-based spring bear hunt in the Gospel Hump and Frank Church Wilderness with daily jet boat access to the main Salmon River. Bears emerge from hibernation along the canyon walls in late April — guides use jet boats to cover miles of prime habitat, then hike up drainages to glass for bears above the river. Wolf tag available as a bonus ($31.75 Idaho tag). Outfitter handles skinning and pack-out; meat processing arranged in Grangeville.
