A five star review rating.

Had an amazing spring bear hunt with Caleb and Chase in the Sawtooths. Caleb is a seasoned guide who understands the environment and animal behavior. We utilized base camp at the Sawtooth Lodge cabins and I was able to soak in the hot springs pool after a day on the mountain. Meals were prepared for us when we started and ended the day and everything was so hospitable. Absolute quality individuals working at this outfit and I would highly recommend it.

Caleb and his team of guides went above and beyond for me and my friend during our lion hunt. Rising early before dawn, they tirelessly covered countless miles, scouting and tracking. Their expert knowledge of the terrain allowed them to put us in prime positions, even amidst challenging snow conditions. Thanks to their dedication, we were able to fulfill a lifelong dream and create memories that will endure a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend SWO for any hunting adventure; their professionalism and expertise are unparalleled.

A five star review rating.

I had an incredible experience hunting predators with Caleb this past January.  One highlight was soaking in the Hot Springs on the final afternoon, a realization that I should have indulged in daily; it was truly rejuvenating amidst the snowy mountains. The accommodations and food exceeded expectations, providing a comfortable retreat after each exhilarating day. Our days were filled with exciting activities, from exploring the breathtaking mountain terrain to spotting elk and tracking wolves and mountain lions. Additionally, experiencing snowmobiles and side-by-sides equipped with snow tracks added an extra thrill to the adventure.

Wolf & Cat Hunt (2024)

I had an incredible experience hunting predators with Caleb Zwahlen this past January. The camaraderie in camp was fantastic, with another hunter who was equally enjoyable to be around. One highlight was soaking in the Hot Springs on the final afternoon, a realization that I should have indulged in daily; it was truly rejuvenating amidst the snowy mountains. The accommodations and food exceeded expectations, providing a comfortable retreat after each exhilarating day. Our days were filled with exciting activities, from exploring the breathtaking mountain terrain to spotting elk and tracking wolves and mountain lions. Although we narrowly missed encountering wolves, we successfully secured a lion for the other hunter in our group. Additionally, experiencing snowmobiles and side-by-sides equipped with snow tracks added an extra thrill to the adventure. Immersing myself in the wintertime mountain culture of Idaho was a memorable aspect of the trip; the resilience and warmth of the local community left a lasting impression. - Darin, Littlerock, AR
