This camp is for experienced hunters who can safely find game, field dress harvests, navigate the forest and cook for themselves.
We will pack your personal gear and groceries into a preset camp, and your harvested meat will be packed out to SLO base camps. Each drop camp will be supplied with a two-way radio for communication with base camps - for your safety and to let packers know that you have meat to be packed out.
Upon arrival at SLO you will be briefed on horse safety, the hunting area, SLO policy and the importance of preserving our natural resources and primitive wilderness for future generations. Upon arrival at the drop camp, hunters will again be briefed by the guides on the hunting area, safety, pack out dates, game preparation and pack out, and the practice of low impact camping.
