Wyoming Rifle Elk Outfitter

[Lundman10]

Hello looking for some recommendations for 2020 rifle elk outfitter in Wyoming. My partner and I have 5 preference points. How is constant quest outfitter? Ty

Lots of good ones around the state and some outfit in general areas and are great hunts as well.
Depends on what you want to deal with, grizz or wolves or none of either. And how much you want to spend, private land outfitters will be more expensive .

I see they still have hunts available for this year so that makes me wonder, most good outfitters are booked well in advance but cancellations could have happened. Lots of good outfits up that way and plenty of grizzlies.

Private land hunt with outfitter is what we looking at . Price point not as important as good reputable outfitter and quality animal. Thorofare area has been a place we’re considering as well as bighorn mountains. The later may be hard to draw in with 5 points. Not sure though

Private land.... what’s your budget?

There is some general units in the big horns with private land hunts. Also some lower point units. (34) I think is 4-5 points and mostly private. Wyoming also has some resident “ranch herds” that never really migrate. Outfitters have a lot of these herds locked down. That said these hunts book years out, due to limited numbers and some huge bulls. Triple 3 outfitters has a very well managed herd. As stated above I’d question an outfit booking private hunts with openings

I had a great experience with Spotted Horse Ranch but they aren't private.

Talk to SNS, and Crandall Creek. See what they recommend. Both have good reps.

There is a little confusion here as Constant Quest does not hunt private land. Ijust got back from a hunt with them and had a great experience and got a nice 6x5 migration bull.

I can speak on constant quest. Probably a great outfit. I was recommending one I knew of, and more so cautioning him of outfitters that have opening that aren’t booked more than a year or two out.

I don't think many residents would recommend SNS. He is WYOGA poster man.

wytx, would you expand on that, please? I've heard good things about SNS from people that I trust. Why would you not recommend that outfit?

No interest in a 300” DIY bull??

Check out Cross C Ranch out of Wheatland, they have a lot of private ground and always have nice bulls on their property. I think it’s 5-6 points to draw. Shane Woods is the guy to talk to

Sy Gilliland pushes for outfitter tags every year, fine if you only hunt outfitted but he wants outfitters to get guaranteed tags. WYOGA is not DIY hunter friendly by any means.
I bet he runs a great outfitting business, but his name comes up seems every time outfitters push for new regs or tag allocations.

I believe they outfit for elk in area 7, you'll need more than 5-6 PP to draw that area.

 

[Pwill]

Yep you are right, takes 9. Whew

Josh martiglio Shoshone lodge outfitters

Josh has some of the best guides in his area. Don't know Josh personally, but know one of his guides very well, and he speaks highly of him.

Looks like 10 preference points needed for Shoshone lodge.
