I'd look at region 7 in Wyoming, wagonhound ranch comes to mind.That would be on my short list. It takes about 8 years for a non res to draw unit 7, however.

Re you looking just for a trophy or fabulous scenery like the Bob Marshall has. Maybe a true Wilderness experience?
More looking for a quality bull. I am turning 41 this year and am starting to think I will never draw in this state. I have shot elk over my years....just never a nice bull. I hunt wilderness and definitely enjoy the "hunt" and "Scenery"....but this quest is for a bull worth mounting and putting on my all. May be the only big bull I ever shoot. :tup:

It was like 10 to 15 grand there if I remember right. I seen some success pics over the last few years and I believe 340 is the bottom end of the scale. :tup:

I don't care if I kill the biggest bull on the hill, I just want a great camp, fun people to hunt with, hunting harder than I want and a chance at a 300" bull if I am lucky.

Ted Turner's Flying D Ranch in Montana. It's called little Yellow Stone with all the animals there. 99% success rate, huge bulls, $15,000.
This. I know a guide that works that ranch. 340 is very doable with several bulls in the 360 range getting killed every year. General tag so need for points.

13..... I think. When they did the switch....I magically lost 2 points. Oh well.

Post by: JWEBB on February 24, 2018, 10:47:34 PM
That's a decent amount. I'd give it a few more years of putting in before thinking of going outta state. I personally know multiple people that have drawn with way less points including myself and have killed 340+bc bulls and thats just in the last few years. I know the waiting game sucks and our point system isn't the best, but it will happen for you soon!Re you looking just for a trophy or fabulous scenery like the Bob Marshall has.

Hell, I知 30, with 16 bull and 16 quality and I知 looking for out of state guided elk hunts as well, no faith in our draw. Could be another 16 years.:yeah:
If only 13 points figure You have less than average chance given the way points are squared and average odds are like 1:100 or less so do the math...... :(

My kids are also starting to hunt in the next year or two, so I suspect my trigger time will drop dramatically. At this point in my hunting career, I am more excited about my kids dropping the hammer on animals. I will be the camp pack mule, cook, gutter, skinner, etc. If I get one after my kids that will be the icing on the cake. I just need to get my bull and a moose before I die......hopefully that gives me a few years. :chuckle: :chuckle:
I have been researching everyone suggestions and all are viable. Anyone with relevant, first hand experience at any of the suggestions would be great.

Only a quota of 30 this year. Last year 100% success rate.
Some seriously huge bulls in the wilderness areas.

Arizona or New Mexico indian reservation . Casey Brooks in the pics. Bring big bucks....I hear it's around $20K
As much as I would love to have a trophy of that magnitude, I am not willing to pay 20K for a bull. I would rather buy two or three hunts for 6K-10K and harvest 300-350 class bulls. Those are some darn nice bulls though.
reality is this hunt will likely take place in the next 2-3 years so I have a little time to plan. I want a reputable ranch / guide.
