Wyoming elk hunting on private ranches totaling nearly 1 million acres. This outfitter offers Wyoming elk hunting on a vast array of different areas, from low country, to steep mountainous terrain.

The properties are so large that the outfitter is able to provide mature animals.

A typical hunt goes like this:

You’ll be hunting out of a primitive camp located at approx. 8,000 ft in the steep, rugged country. You’ll get up, eat breakfast, and then use horses to get to the ridges an hour or so before daylight. At that point, you’ll tie up the horses and hunt all day, returning to your horses in the evening. 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.

We also have some rustic cabin accommodations in town as an alternative. These elk hunts aren’t quite as physical, and offer additional comfort, and modern conveniences. Hunting style is similar to that of the high-country pack-in camp.

Accommodations offer a warm atmosphere, queen beds, hot showers, restrooms, cable television and high speed internet. 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.
