Owner, Outfitter, Guide
I was born into a hunting atmosphere, my dad was an avid hunter, a hound man and an all around outdoors man, he has also guided for a living at different times so I was immediately immersed in the hunting lifestyle. I have lived in northern Idaho all of my life and hunted here for most of it, other than the first three years, so I have been collecting experience for over 35 years now, the first few years I was nothing more than an observer but none the less I was out there.
Guide/ Social Media Manager
Jacob is a native of Clark Fork with bright blue eyes and a warm smile who has managed to make a living here in this fairly depressed little town and I suspect he will continue to do so for the rest of his life. He has the abilities, skills and initiative to do what a guy needs to do to survive around here whether the task at hand is packing a tree stand a half mile up the side of a mountain, guiding an elk hunt, trapping nuisance beavers, cutting 10 cords of firewood in a week or plowing out after 2 feet of snow falls Jacob can handle the job and he has carved out a living here for himself, his wife and his 2 young daughters.
Guide
Like me Boone was born to a father who was a houndsman so he has a literal lifetime of experience hunting with dogs. Growing up in Oregon he hunted with his family hounds and eventually moved to Idaho and started a pack of his own. He is also an archery hunter and an all around woodsman. He is a very young man with a great background in mountain hunting that will serve him well as he moves forward with his personal hunting and with his career as a guide.
Guide
Born in Eugene Oregon, my parents moved me to the mountains of North Idaho when I was two years old. This is where I would spend the remainder of my younger childhood days, learning to value the simple things in life. We spent our first year on the mountain, living in an old blue canvas tent, while my Dad rustled up material and threw together a stick framed house with log rafters. My youngest childhood memories include being awakened by the sounds of raccoons or skunks stealing our bread and other groceries from the bags at the foot of my bed… Then hiding in the upper loft of our shack, from the Black Bears who would break into our ice box where we stored our meat.
Co-owner, Cook, Secretary, Guide
Molly could probably be best described as the back bone of this operation, she is the first one up in the morning and spends her entire day working behind the scenes to help and provide for all. She has a professional background as a cook and a banker and she takes care of those duties still today but only for our family and company as well as an assortment of other tasks as co-owner of Clark Fork Outfitters including some guiding.
Guide
Tyler is a native of northern Idaho who embodies the spirit of our lifestyle around here and true to his roots has worked in the woods as a logger, he still does some logging when he is not working as a guide. He is soft spoken yet confident, optimistic but also realistic, does the very best job he can and is honest about everything. Tyler’s hunting background is primarily deer & elk hunting as well as some spot & stalk bear hunting.
Guide
Kody has been hunting since childhood in the sagebrush hills and evergreen mountains of central Washington, where he developed a lifelong respect for wildlife and the traditions of the outdoors. Filling the freezer is one his main reasons for hunting because he really enjoys cooking and sharing meals with family and friends. Since 2022, he’s been guiding with us here at Clark Fork Outfitters, helping hunters experience the rugged and steep mountains of northern Idaho, notching tags on quality animals, learning new things and usually laughing while here. Kody has honed his skills in whitetail deer hunting , calling coyotes and talking to bull elk but also grew up hunting mule deer in his younger years. Just in recent years has he started bear hunting and learning the lifestyle of hound hunting but has had a plethora of successful bear clients. He brings years of field experience, has taken wilderness first aid courses while working for the Washington Conservation Corps and now local knowledge of the beautiful Coeur d’Alene mountains. He has spent the last 6 winters/springs working on a large cattle ranch calving season which adds to some of his grit. Whether you're chasing your first bull or looking for a trophy buck, he will always do his best to provide a rewarding, laughter, fun filled and unforgettable hunt regardless of what tags get notched.
