My family has hunted in Hell's Canyon for over 40 years - spend a lot of time up in the Wallowas, too. Purty country up there. Good looking pack you got going there. I'd say if a guy isn't too picky about how his camp is set up, a one horse per person horseback hunt is plenty feasible. That's all we ever take into Hell's Canyon - save some weight too by hobbling the horses instead of packing all that fencing stuff. A lot of times, we just tie them up with about a fifty foot rope or so - they're pretty good horses (Norwegian Fjords) and have never had a problem with them on these trips. There's just something about those pack in hunts - makes it extra special. Where at in Northeast Oregon?

Actually, if the timing works out and you're interested, there are a couple of places on the Golden Ram properties that are supposed to be ideal for horseback hunts. It would probably be base-camp rather than pack-in, but it could be a good opportunity to try some things out. Lots of great wilderness areas out there too. I'm game. That looks pretty good, John!
