Guided Elk Hunts In Wyoming

ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA Endorsed Outfitter runs a professional, permitted operation within designated areas, offering a wide range of Elk and Deer hunts and hunting packages. As third- and fourth-generation outfitters, they carry on a proud family tradition that began in the early 1950s. More than just guides, they are passionate hunters themselves, dedicated to providing exceptional and affordable hunting experiences in the beautiful Wyoming wilderness. With over 60 years of experience, they bring deep knowledge and a genuine love for the outdoors to every hunt.

HUNT DETAILS:
They are very fortunate to have exceptional Elk quality and the longest season to hunt them. If you hunt with this outfitter, you will see that they are one of the few places in the United States where you can hunt elk with a rifle right in the midst of their rutting season. They are also fortunate to have a resident herd of Elk to hunt due to their geographic location near two of Wyoming’s largest feed grounds. They offer 7 and 10 day hunts for Deer and Elk. They also schedule combination Archery/Rifle hunts for both Deer and Elk. These are 7 or 10 day hunts, where you begin archery hunting on the last 4 days of the archery season and if unsuccessful then with the opening of the regular season a rifle is allowed. These combination hunts are best from the High Camp.

PACK-IN HIGH CAMPS: If you want to hunt the high country, their upper camp is just the place. It is accessible on horseback only, a ten-mile horse ride in and magnificent hunting from there. They offer 7 and 10 day hunts for Deer and Elk. This is also a great camp if you are lucky enough to draw a tag for a Mountain Goat (Area 2) or Big Horn Sheep (Areas 6 & 7) You can also add a Bear tag (Purchase over the counter after you get there) while you hunt Deer or Elk. Due to the rugged terrain, hunters going to this camp should have basic riding skills and be in good physical condition.

MAIN CAMP HUNTS: Their base camp is accessible with 4WD trucks, yet it is in great country with plenty of game. From this camp they can accommodate both the hunter that wants to hunt the high rough stuff as well as the hunter that prefers a more relaxed hunt. There is plenty of good game for both due to their location to the elk feeding grounds and the Snake River hunting range. This camp provides great access for hunting Moose in Area 20. Both of these camps offer comfortable tent living with wood stoves, cots to sleep on and good home cooked meals along with a great atmosphere to enjoy the Wyoming Mountains during the best time of the year. You can expect to hear the bugling of bull elk during the late part of September as the elk are in heavy rut during this time. It’s a great way to catch up to some of the trophy bucks that hang around the elk herd during the rut.

TOWN HUNTS: If you are interested in some excellent hunting and still be able to have the comforts of home, they offer hunts based from town in and around Jackson Hole. These are excellent hunts because they have the option to hunt a great deal of different territory due to the fact they can trailer to different hunting areas each day and are great for Deer and Elk when the snow is deep and they cannot hunt from their high camp. Over the years these hunts have proven to be very productive especially for Antelope in the Kemmerer District of South Western Wyoming. Their areas (93 and 100) for Antelope have produced B&C heads consistently. On the town based hunts you are responsible for lodging and meals. They provide the trucks, trailers, horses, tack and guides. They have good working arrangements with various lodges in both nearby towns at affordable rates. They pride themselves in giving a value added hunting experience. They will try to match a hunt with your skill level and your schedule.

This outfitter's hunt areas are well known for the trophy heads that they have consistently produced over the years, along with the abundant number of elk. With a resident herd of Elk they do not depend on the snowfall or a migration to have good elk to hunt. The elk are there all year round with the main feed ground not far away. Their upper camp is set high up in the alpine where the deer and elk really do roam.

The Elk population in Western Wyoming is extremely healthy and their hunt area is no exception. With a resident herd the weather is not an issue with their camps. The success rate for their camps over the years is 80% with several trophies taken each year.

If you like to archery hunt, their camps offer some great areas for the season’s BIG BULLS. They also schedule combination Archery/Rifle hunts for both Deer and Elk. These are 7 or 10 day hunts, where you begin archery hunting on the last 4 days of the archery season and if unsuccessful then switch to rifle to finish your hunt. These combination hunts are best from the High Camp.
