Mackay Bar Outfitters & Guest Ranch, perched at the edge of the Salmon River and Frank Church Wilderness, offers a special brand of Idaho backcountry hunting adventures!
The River of No Return (Salmon River) flows 75 miles through this remote location allowing access by jet boat and pack string to some of the most rugged and remote landscapes you’ll ever see.
Your hunt will be unforgettable whether you leave right from the ranch on foot, launch on a jet boat or take horses out of one of our remote hunting camps. Due to the remoteness of the area, our guides are held to a high standard for safety and experience in the wilderness. As the owner and outfitter, I assure my guides are respectful, hard working, honest men.
Most of all, our guides are hunting machines.
We can’t stress enough how amazing and unique Mackay Bar Outfitters & Guest Ranch is for guests and the outfitting opportunities available. Please take time to check our TripAdvisor Reviews for more reason to visit Mackay Bar Ranch.

We would like to state that Mackay Bar Outfitters provides wilderness hunts nestled in the Frank Church ‘River of No Return’ Wilderness, that can be very physically demanding. To ensure your safety and well being, we strongly encourage you to condition for your hunt.
As you go through our hunt pages, please remember that any hunt can be modified to accommodate any hunter’s ultimate adventure. We are more than willing to adjust our itinerary and/or modify hunts/combination hunts and/or fishing trips to provide our guests with an adventure of a lifetime.
