Wyoming Elk Country in September

Jeff Young: Wyoming Elk Hunt Report

HUNT: Wyoming Elk Hunt
CONSULTANT: Patrick Kissel, Outdoors International

September 14-19, 2021

I arrived at elk camp on Greys River and got to choose from several canvas tents. Each tent had a wood burning stove. We woke up at 2:30 every morning ate breakfast and headed out with truck and trailer to the trailhead. We unloaded the horses and rode them most of the day, periodically calling to locate elk.

Once we had one answer we tied the horses and hiked to a good position. We would eat lunches (that we packed in the morning) on the mountain. We would get back to camp around 8:00 PM. Showered with hot water and ate supper around 9-9:30. Went to bed around 10:30.

  • How would you rate your trip overall? It was a great elk hunt. The outfitter and his guides worked really hard.
  • How was your food and lodging? Amazing.
  • How was your guide? Fair. My guide was very young and this was his first year of guiding. He was green when it came to elk hunting but was very knowledgeable on backcountry horsemanship and learned fast. He worked very hard and was extremely respectful.
  • How was your outfitters communication? Perfect.
  • How physically demanding was your trip? Difficult.
  • How would you rate your consultant? Great. I really appreciate Patrick checking in with me right after my hunt to make sure everything went well.
  • Would you book another trip with Outdoors International in the future? Yes
  • Can we use your stories and/or photos on our website? Yes
  • Can we use this in social media? Yes – @Jkyoung618

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
