ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA-Endorsed Outfitter is a family owned and operated business run by lifelong Wyoming residents, with close to twenty years of guiding experience in the region. They now run four well-established camps across western Wyoming. The country there holds strong populations of elk, moose, bear, and mountain lion, which gives hunters real range in what they can pursue. Horses are central to how this operation works, and theirs are specially bred to be strong, sure-footed, and gentle, which matters enormously in broken terrain. Tack and equipment are kept in good order rather than run into the ground. The guides are experienced and invested, and the standard they hold themselves to is full effort every day of a hunt.
HUNT DETAILS:
What sets this antelope hunt apart is the setting. Most Wyoming pronghorn hunts run out of a motel in a small town on the plains. This one is based in a backcountry wall tent camp surrounded by mountains, shared with the outfitter's deer and elk hunters, which gives the whole trip the feel of a mountain hunt rather than a quick errand. The camp itself sits well back in the mountains, which is unusual for a pronghorn hunt and worth the trip on its own. The hunt is fully guided and fully catered, so hunters are looked after from the moment they arrive. Evenings in camp are spent with hunters after other species, which means the stories at dinner cover a lot more ground than pronghorn. For a hunter who wants an antelope but would rather earn it in real country and stay in a proper camp, this is a different proposition from the standard Wyoming trip. Guides handle the locating and the approach.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Camp is kept neat and orderly, and the setup is better than most wall tent operations. The tents sit on wood floors, are heated by wood burning stoves, and are lit by a twenty-five hundred watt Honda generator. Sleeping arrangements are outfitter cots topped with four-inch foam mattresses, which is a meaningful upgrade after a long day out. A shower is available whenever a hunter wants it. A full-time cook stays in camp and prepares first-class meals for both clients and crew. The guides and camp staff are experienced, professional, and courteous, and that shows in how smoothly the place runs.
