If you’re not applying for Wyoming elk hunting every year, you need to be! Wyoming has some spectacular elk hunting opportunities, but it’s a preference point state, so you have to do some planning. Don’t worry though, if you don’t have very many points we do have some options for you. With little or no points, our backcountry outfitter has solid success on good bulls at an affordable price. If you want a more plush experience, we have two beautiful Wyoming lodge hunts.

Located just a short drive from most of this outfitter’s hunting areas, this modern 3,521 sq. ft. home is the perfect option for families or groups. Enjoy the luxurious accommodations with a great view.

  • The home sleeps up to 10 people and is great for a successful party application draw.
  • Accommodations include a gourmet, top of the line chef kitchen, Keg and cork bar and walk-in winery in the basement, full outdoor kitchen, outdoor entertainment area with fire pit, close to grocery shopping and restaurants, two laundry areas and full sized beds.

If one of these lodge options isn’t for you, we also have some rustic cabin accommodations in town as an alternative.

Although not as plush as the lodge hunts, our town hunts are still very comfortable with modern conveniences.  Accommodations offer a warm atmosphere, queen beds, hot showers, restrooms, cable television and high speed internet.

Hunting style is similar to that of the high-country pack-in camp, but aren’t quite as physical as our backcountry hunts are. You’ll use horses (or snowmobiles on the mountain lion and cow elk hunts) to access hunting areas, and return to the town at the end of the hunting day.

We we do also have a few cow hunts in the late season.

On these hunts, you’ll stay in town and use snow machines to access the hunting area. Cow hunts this time of year usually aren’t all that difficult, but may require some climbing in deep snow so be in shape. These are usually three day hunts.

Upon returning to camp in the evening, the guides will take care of the horses, and there will be a hot, all-you-can-eat dinner ready shortly after dark. The better shape you’re in, the more you’ll enjoy this elk hunt.

  2. Tom Palmer

    We went from a silent morning on the mountain to an eruption of elk activity in seconds…..this is truly addictive….ready for next years adventure!

    MY HUNT WAS FIVE STARS!
    I was very impressed with the number of mule deer we were seeing.

  5. Erin Lilienthal

    This was a really challenging elk hunt, but my guide put me on bull elk every day. He was so helpful understanding my limitations and getting me on a real nice bull on my first backcountry hunt!

    Incredible elk hunt. Everything was fantastic from the food, to the sleeping accommodations, to the personalities of everyone in camp. I will 100% be coming back.

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Wade Zuver

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

Jesse Neveau

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
