If you’ve ever wanted to hunt in a truly classic American wilderness, you won’t find a more remote and challenging location in the Lower 48 than Idaho’s Frank Church—River of No Return Wilderness. Established in 1980 and covering parts of six different national forests, The Frank is the largest contiguous federal wilderness outside of Alaska. It and the adjacent Gospel Hump Wilderness comprise more than 3.3 million acres of wild, roadless terrain. The only way in and out is either by pack animal, whitewater raft, bush plane, or on foot. In “Hunting the Last Wild Place: The Frank”, the adventure filmmakers at Argali Outdoors captured not only an exciting float-hunt through the heart of the wilderness—the wild and scenic Salmon River—but also a personal testament to what the opportunity for such experiences means on an emotional and spiritual level.
