ARCHERY & RIFLE
ELK HUNTS IN WYOMING
Archery
Elk
Our archery elk season runs from September 1 to September 30. This is the
majestic bugle season. Our archery elk hunts are true wilderness experiences
and not for the half-hearted hunter. Your physical condition will determine
how much your guide can do with you. Our archery elk hunts are 7 days in
length. Success
varies from year to year.
Shooting
success at bulls 40 yards or less has averaged around 75% in
the past 18 years with the harvest depending on the hunters.
We take 4 to 8 bowhunters per hunt. The Wyoming Game & Fish
Deparment has 25 "archery only" tags set aside for
this area. Archery tags are almost guaranteed. These hunts
fill up quickly so book early.
Rifle
Elk
General rifle elk season runs October 1-21. We run 7-day hunts with one or
two-hunters per guide. We take 4-8 hunters per hunt, with 5-6 hunters being
the average. Hunting will vary from calling in bulls, to glassing and stalking,
to still hunting through timber.
Lots of horseback
riding, day and night, and walking are usually required. On all
of our elk hunts we hunt all day long. You will be leaving the
base camp in the dark and returning in the dark.
Late
Season Elk
November 1-30 is our late elk season. This is when the big bulls migrate
out of the high fall range and out of Yellowstone National Park down to the
winter range. It is not uncommon to see herds of 100-200 elk. This is the
time of year when the chance of getting a really big bull are high. Success
on these hunts is near 100% on 300 B&C bulls.
Cow
Elk
We run 3-day cow elk hunts during the month of November. Cow tags are easy
to get and hunters always fill. If you are hunting for meat, this is the
hunt for you. We are very flexible on the dates of this hunt.
