The Flying B Ranch is an outfitting lodge in North Central Idaho that has been owned by the same family since opening in 1985. With a focus on hunting heritage and the legacies forged between family and friends on the hunt, they look to connect sportsmen with their adventures, and to challenge them afield. That authenticity of the place and the team leading it create a unique atmosphere where guests form lasting connections, some returning annually for more than 25 years.
The lodge sits on 5,000 private acres in an ideal location, surrounded by a dynamic landscape that provides optimal habitat for 6 species of upland birds. The hunting opportunities, paired with the tenured team of professional guides has earned the Flying B Ranch the honor of being the most consistently nominated Wingshooting Lodge of the Year Finalist by Orvis, every year from 2012 to 2017.
