Wyoming elk

[Bucklowery]

Ok guys I need a little help. Wyoming elk and you have 10 points what outfitters do you recommend. I know it only takes two or three to draw general tag. I don't want to waste those extra points for a general area if there is a better options I have been waiting 20 years to do this


Thanks

Wow man, 20 points, good luck with your hunt!

Ive been looking into this myself. I only have 4 points, but just thinking ahead. Looks like unit 7 is phenomenal unit. There are a lot of outfitters in that unit as well. Wish I had more to offer. Good Luck! It stinks that it takes so long to draw a good unit in Wyoming.

I'd look at Trails West Outfitters in 61 or Gene Carrico with Out West Safari's near Rawlins. Both hammer some exceptional bulls.

Wyoming is actually the opposite......plenty of good to very good units, including some general units, that require 7 or less points. I'd suggest you compare to AZ, UT, or NV. Fact remains though, there are a chit ton of more elk hunters than tags in pretty much every state w/ elk. But lots of good hunts in WY that won't be once in a lifetime like the others states mentioned.

I hear you but 10 years to draw a tag? It seems like a landowner tag in place like New Mexico makes more sense every year

Couple quick questions, what kind of bull are you looking for (real world) and two what is the budget for the outfitter fee?

 

[lilharcher]

Dogz provided best question.......7pts will get you a late season hunt (Dec/Jan tag) where you will be able to see 500+ elk and see over 100+ bulls. But trophy quality is 320", with possibility of bigger if good snow year. Message me for more info if interested.

There are a handful of units in Wyoming that take that many to draw. Zero chance I would wait that long. You could have 3 very high quality hunts in that time. Especially if you are paying an outfitter.

Area 7. Wagonhound land and livestock outfitters. I used to work for them.

 

[lilharcher]

Yep, if you can swing the $10k for wagonhound, there are few better than that property!

 

[Bucklowery]

I don't think I can't swing that but I have been saving for a outfitter. I can just swing by Wyoming for a elk hunt from Florida anytime. It will be a event not just a hunt for me. I have been anticipating this hunt for too long


Thanks

Shoshone is good. If you can stand a long horseback ride into the Thorofare, you might check out Hidden Creek or Butte Creek.
