Title: Outfitter Recommendation?
Post by: Twispriver on February 12, 2016, 11:04:35 AM: I am researching Wyoming outfitters and hunt areas to book a trip for the 2017 season - My son and I have max points and will book this spring but I would like to hear from any of you that have had good or bad experiences with an outfitter. I have looked at both ranch hunts and the full pack in wilderness experience so I am open to all of your input. Thanks - Rick

Q creek - they have a 550,000 acre ranch
Wagonhound - huge private land. big $$$
out west safaries
boulder basin and a couple others that hunt the late wilderness hunts - max points might give you less then 10% draw odds

Post by: Twispriver on March 19, 2016, 07:34:45 PM: Thank you for your responses. I decided to book our trip with Elk Mountain Outfitters in area seven for the 2017 opener - We researched quite a few outfitters all over the state and sent out quite a few feelers. The biggest surprise for me in this process is that many of my emails and phone messages went unanswered. It seems to me if you are trying to sell a hunt, with prices ranging from $4,000.00 to $9,500.00, you might respond to a request for information. I am happy with our choice and now I need to be patient and wait for October 2017 to get here. Rick

Sheep can even be spotted on the nearby bluffs
