Black Bear Hunt!

The Best Bear Hunt with Hounds period!! Chris and his Brother Cody are Top Notch and his guides know their job very well. I had a blast and learned a lot. Korell Outfitters works hard to maintain there 100% kill record for BIG boar Bears! Saw tons of bears. A lot of Color Phased Bears as well! Can not wait to book another Bear hunt with them! Lodge and Food is Top Notch as well. If you call them and ask why they the best you'll understand why I went with them. Family own and ran! They treat you like a person and part of their family why you are in Camp at the Lodge! Best Hounds in the Country hands down!

Reviewer Comments: Me and my friend each harvested mature cat's the same day on the second day of the hunt, out of the same tree in heavy snow. There was four mature cat's, three in one tree, one in the next tree. absolutely amazing, wouldn't trade this hunt for the world. On the fourth day I harvested a big mature tom bobcat off a mule deer kill, totally amazing. The hunt was demanding, incredible, and simply breath taking. If you don't believe it I have it all on video.

Reviewer Comments: Korell Outfitters is an outstanding outfitter. The knowledge of the country and the movement of the elk was unbelievable. This outfitter and guide did an outstanding job getting me into elk. Accomendations and meals are excellent. Went last year and my hunting partner and I each missed bulls. No persons fault other than mine. The outfitter and guides got us into bulls every day, but one. This year we were into 30 plus bulls. Bulls were bugling, which created extra excitement. Chris and Cody Korell are truly professionals at what they do. You arrive as clients and leave as valued friends. If you are looking for a an excellent consultant, look to Wade Derby at Crosshair Consulting. Wade will not book a hunt unless he or one of his associates has personally gone on that hunt to check things out. If it does not make the cut it does not get listed as a bookable hunt.

Species Hunted: Cougar

Game Quality: NONE

Accommodation Quality: NOT GOOD

Camp Condition: Just ok

Food Quality: below average

Guide Experience: good

Other Personal Experience: questionable

Overall Impression: Very Dissapointing

Recommend: NO

Reviewer Comments: Guide physically threatened my buddy with physical violence. I don't mind not seeing game but will not tolerate poor treatment. 20+ years hunting experience, many guided hunts throughout North America. This guide and help should have been cast on "Broke Back Mountain." Idaho is an awesome state, in my opinion, these clowns are the epitomy of a shitty outfit. Beware

Reviewer Comments: My freind and I went on a 6 day 1x1 cougar hunt. My freind did not get to see one cat. He never cut a track. I cut one track which was a female which the guide pressured me to shoot. The outfitters younger brother was a hot headed young kid who tried to provoke a fight like the the cowboys from the old west did. He ruined our hunt due to the fact we were in a remote camp with some hot head kid packing a S&W revolver. Book elsewhere.

Reviewer Comments: Chris has outstanding Cougar and Bear hunting.Plus he offers Elk and Deer camps. I took a large Trophy Tom on the last day after treeing three other cats. Chris gives 100% at all times. His hunts are for male cats only, he won't let you take an immature animal. He has had 100% success for three years running.
