Sanders County, Mont., is known to many outdoor enthusiasts. Bear, elk, deer and mountain lion far outnumber the four-people-per-square-mile population. Consisting almost entirely of parts of three national forests — Kaniksu National Forest, Kootenai National Forest and Lolo National Forest — steady work is hard to find in the huge county. Many residents make a living from the land.
Cody and Koliss Carr, a young couple with three girls, have built a thriving business in the rugged landscape, which provides work for other families in the area.Cody Carr’s Hunting Adventures is primarily a big game hunting outfit but also entertains hikers, fishermen and others escaping the daily grind of urban life.
