Greetings from Mackay Bar Outfitters!
We hope your New Year has gotten off to a great start.
Have you heard about our Wilderness Weapons Retreat scheduled April 26th, 27th and 28th?
For those interested in Mackay Bar Ranch’s Special Events – this one is sure to be a WEEKEND of ADVENTURE & FUN. We have openings still available!
JETBOAT ADVENTURE ON THE SALMON RIVER
Your Wilderness Adventure starts on Friday when we pickup guests at Vinegar Creek Boat Ramp on the Salmon River (26 miles East of Riggins ID), for a 26 mile jet boat ride into the Frank Church Wilderness on the Salmon River. Now that is pure adventure, in itself. We’ll stop at Polly Bemis Ranch along the way for historical enrichment and interesting artifacts taking you back to the Idaho Gold Rush days. Your next stop will be Mackay Bar Ranch – where we’ll get unloaded and settled in, and plan what’s next. We’ll jump back on the jet boats and head further up river for additional landmarks and historical sites to explore. After dinner we may have a bonfire on the beach and chill.
The Saturday portion of our weekend retreat at Mackay Bar Ranch includes a full 8 hour weapons training course that qualifies attendees for an IDAHO ENHANCED concealed weapons permit (CWP) as well as Oregon’s permit.
If you are interested in obtaining your Idaho concealed carry permit or if you already have your concealed carry permit, we want to arm you with some insights about the IDAHO ENHANCED CONCEALED CARRY. It means you’re good to carry for ALL but ten states! Many Idahoans already have a concealed weapons permit, but an ENHANCED gives you that much more flexibility when traveling, as more states reciprocate Idaho’s law and acknowledge it.
To view all states that acknowledge Idaho’s Enhanced Concealed Weapons Permit (all but 10) click here.
Additionally, you can visit American Freedom Defense’s website where you’ll find more details of the weapons course and your instructor. Be sure to reference the Handgun 1 Class.
Why not combine a little practical skill enhancement with a wilderness experience that offers unforgettable scenery, jet boat adventure, delicious hot home cooked meals and stylish comfortable accommodations all equipped with private bathrooms and hot showers.
You’ll experience first hand why so many guests who visit Mackay Bar Ranch are blown away by the special magic that happens here. Call it a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, but we see it over and over again with guests who are transformed by their experience at Mackay Bar Ranch.
