HUNT: Wyoming Elk Hunt
CONSULTANT: Patrick Kissel, Outdoors International
October 14-20, 2021
Our base camp for the hunt was a beautiful lodge with great staff and terrific food. This was a 5 day hunt for bull elk at 7,500 to 9,000 ft. A hunter can harvest a cow if he/she chooses. Beautiful country. Lots of hiking, climbing to glass and call for bulls. Guides are excellent at this.
I had some fun but frustrating stalks on days 1-3. We just couldn’t quite “nail” it. You can hunt till dark. I found my guide was willing to do whatever I wanted.
On day 4 at 8:30 am we had a successful stalk on a “large” 5 point/small 6 point bull at 8,700 ft. What a thrill. My guide did a great job of advising me on the shot, and calling in the bull.
I am a older hunter so I had to pace myself a bit. My guide was extremely patient and helpful. After the 3rd day my acclimation to the altitude was noticeable. I’m in my 70″s and in reasonably good condition. Older hunters can enjoy this hunting experience and be successful. Mornings in Oct are cold, but mid day was 40’s low 50’s. Can be colder I think so bring gear for everything. Saw lots of Shiras moose, which was great!

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.Oliver Fischer
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!Scott Navares
