This outfitter runs a family-owned and operated business on some very remote ranchlands in northeast Wyoming. The outfitter hunts his own private ranch and also has leases consisting of about 75 square miles in northeast Wyoming. Nearly 100,000 acres! The property is located along the Little Powder River, which boasts one of the biggest herds of non-migratory mule deer in the state, and it has some giant deer. He has a substantial elk herd, also non-migratory. His hunt area also has a lot of good antelope. Drawing tags here for antelope is normally 100% draw, with leftover tags available.
Putting in over 150 days a year in the field, he and his guides know the ropes and where to find the game on several hundred thousand acres. That’s why he is so successful. You will come away a better and more knowledgeable hunter. He closely manages the harvest on his properties to assure guests the opportunity at a trophy animal.
There are no fences and the hunts are strictly fair chase. Most hunting is by spotting and stalking using spotting scopes and binoculars. The outfitter’s guides try hard to get the hunter the closest, highest percentage shot they can, because the first shot is always your best shot. The guides are good judges of trophy quality and most shots end up being less than 200 yards. The hunter makes the final decision on the shot based on what you are looking for and the guide’s input.
Here is a report from our past client:
This is a true trophy outfitter, taking a very limited number of hunters each year resulting in many shot opportunities. The accommodations and home cooked meals are very good. Plus outfitter and his wife are gracious hosts with fantastic hospitality and are lots of fun. Thank you. – Dan S. (Note: he immediately re-booked for the next year!)
He offers an excellent 4-day archery or 3-day rifle hunt for these speed goats, mainly in Area 17, but also Areas 23 and 24. He has somewhere close to 1,000 acres of alfalfa in a variety of smaller parcels, so lots of opportunity. He normally expects 100% opportunity with bow at 50 yards or less, on bucks. ANOTHER MAJOR PLUS HERE IS THAT THESE AREAS ARE USUALLY 100% DRAW FOR A SPECIAL LICENSE, EVEN WITHOUT PREFERENCE POINTS.
Antelope horn sizes range from 13 to 15 inches, with some opportunities at trophies up to 16 inches, although 16 is rare. Lodging is in a 2-storey lodge with hot shower and good, basic food. This is not the hunt for anyone wanting posh lodging – it is for the serious hunter. Some of his better-known past clients include Jim Cabela, the Christensen Arms President, Pete Shepley from PSE, Tom Miranda, Bob Robb and others.
A CLIENT REPORT:
“I want to thank you for arranging our hunt with this excellent outfit. We were successful in hunting antelope. The outfitter set us up on a spot to hunt from a blind on opening day. My son Paul got his buck 27 minutes later, about a 92-yard shot. The outfitter told my son that he’d shot a very good buck. Then he drove us out to spot and stalk antelope. I also got my antelope on opening day morning. My son Paul is legally blind. Thanks again.” – Joe and Paul R.
