We will be hunting in the Wind River Mountains northeast of Jackson Hole, Wyoming at the south end of the Absaroka range. The free roaming elk of the area have been steadily increasing their numbers, with one of the healthiest bull to cow ratios in the state

You want to pack your camera every moment of your trip to capture the intensity of hunting up to 12,000.  Hear the shrill sound of an elk's bugle breaking the early morning calm. Inaccessibility, high mountain parks and dense timbered slopes are the key habitat ingredients which make this home to a thriving elk population. 

By listening and locating the elk we patiently close the distance before they find their feeding and bedding grounds. A unique blend of patience, stealth and a steady aim combined with experienced calling techniques and luck decides the outcome of the unfolding drama. 

Camps

Camp is comfortable so you can concentrate on your hunt. Clients enjoy sleeping in wall tents with cots and stoves. Home style meals are prepared by your full time cook.  The menu is cowboy five star and accommodations second to none.

Horses

We own a super gentle string of horses and mules. They are rugged mountain stock that will get us where the elk live!...and back. 

The equipment we use is western tack, well maintained, practical and field tested.
