Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Wyoming antelope outfitters ?

Looking to take my wife on an antelope hunt for our 40 th. anniversary. Not looking for trophies, just a good hunt. Any recommendations ?

We used Rockin 7 in Wyoming a few years ago. Very happy with the owner Brad Reese and his crew. Good food, lots of antelope on a gorgeous ranch. We flew into Denver and it was an easy drive north to his operation

Ross Adney www.beavertrapoutfitters I took my daughter and her friend this previous Oct and they had a blast. Laid back easy going hunt. I’ll try and get a pic or two. I did a write up on here on the general big game forum.

S-N-S Outfitters. My buddy and I hunted antelope with S-N-S outside Casper and had a wonderful time. Cannot recommend highly enough.

It is just too easy to hunt antelope in Wyoming, an outfitter is not needed. Especially, if your not trophy hunting. Tons of public land, mostly hunt from the seat of your pickup truck, towns for food/lodging are always reasonably close by, or bring your camper and “boondock “ on public land! A decent set of binoculars, a map, a gps with “chip” showing hunt areas and land ownership (optional), and the ability to hit your target at 300 yards.....and your antelope hunting! memtb

PS: Check out the Wyo. Game and Fish website. It gives Hunt area draw percentages, Hunter success percentages, public land access and availabilities. A little bit of homework and you can have the pleasure of having a successful DIY hunt!

Do you have any PP ? You would only need an outfitter if you don't have PP and want to draw a tag in a mostly private land area.
If you have PP, I would apply for a good area and make reservations at a nice place to stay and do a DIY hunt.
Allow some extra days for sight seeing and fishing etc.
Pronghorn are one animal that you definitely don't need an outfitter for if you can draw a decent tag.

You won't find many residents recc. SNS. The owner is very pro outfitter welfare in our state.

I sent you a lengthy PM. Did you receive it?

Check out Southfork Mountain Outfitters in Buffalo. Wife and I have been twice. LOTS of antelope on big private ranches.

If you go to the Harrisburg PA show, Holli is always there, lots of others as well!

DIY pretty much anywhere from gillette to Casper to Rawlings. Its crawling with goats. Draw a tag, buy a leftover and go cover some ground. Fun hunting.

Are there typically decent leftover tags? By decent I mean public land enough to hunt with good chance for a decent DIY hunter to kill a goat. Buck, doe, whatever

Last year there where few of any tags left over. But there are tags you can draw in units with lots of private that if you do a bit of homework and really look at the private/public yes you can have a fun hunt and fill your tags. Some might require a bit more walking to get into tough to access public but yes it can be done.
