Hello. Am planning on hosting this event September 9 thru the 11th. That way both sides of the Lehi valley is open 4 rifle Cow elk over the counter tag. I cannot predict how many will be on the valley floor as it depends on weather and pressure. I have yet to approach the guide for his rates as perhaps a package discount is available? Archery will also be a over the counter deal and I could help out there. I my self will be bowhunting. There is an nice open to the public free rifle range at 300 yards. Several nice hot springs and river rafting steel head fishing. I have been advised to try to get the elks lodge for the show and hope to contact them tommorow. P.M. me for questions. Remember these are over the counter tags. You can buy the tag once you find elk so no pressure.

The Savage Hunting Fest - West. Sounds like a plan! Those that "will" or "might" please sign in. State the probability of your attending. Also, will you be displaying, attend but no display and/or hunting. Question: will there be display days then hunting or are you intending to try and do both at the same time? Will there be a secure location that multiple firearm ($$$) can be left while hunting?

I won't be hunting on the week end. I will assist others scouting or what not. I have yet to check the elks lodge for security. I have access to store stuff securely at my house and cabin. In the town of salmon I have not planned it out. We'll keep you updated.

I have it on my calendar! It may take a while for folks to commit so may want to set a deadline to have a minimum of positive responses to make it really official. And of course any later folks would be welcome. Or go for it regardless of numbers? Just my 2 cents... Hope it works out! And I will have sorted out my hunting options by then. Killing elk with 99 would be great. And I bow hunted elk in Idaho about 10 years ago so that would be good too. Bruce

I looked at the elks lodge. It looks great got pictures but no phot bucket here. I could email them to some one. The room locks. There is a bar next door. They have 6 r.v. hook ups on the property. The fee for the room is $150 a day. Do we want Fri sat sun. Or what do we want? The r.v. spots are $25 a day. Thanks John.

Here is a fest west update. The Town of Salmon is Very Excited about this festival. It will be legal to trade and sell firearms and we can have a shooting match at the free public rifle range. I plan on some good food and some natural hot spring visits. My question is we better plan on it being open 2 the public 4 a few hours a day. There is camping on site and the bar will be open on Friday. They will also open on Saturday if we want it. I also would like to invite other Lever action collectors? What say U? Thanks John

I'll be there with my display and books for anyone who hasn't gotten one. I like all lever actions and don't have any problem with collectors of other brands being present. Or with the public coming in. We may add a few converts to Savage Fever. David

If I was in Helena and going to Salmon, I'd take 15 south to 43, over to 93, then south to Salmon.
