Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Wyoming Outfitters

What you did was more of a ranch hunt.You fall under the catagory of one time euphoria,easily reached.

How'd that purse you strapped to your waist work out.

Please explain this statement and elaborate on how one could get any more "wilderness" (in the states) than my hunt.

This should be interesting.......

The explanation is sledder....

Grumpy old fart isn't he.

I would be leary of Bald Mtn myself. Had a personnal run in with them that included some attempts at intimidation, i.e. they don't like pesky resident hunters in their area. Funny how some think a 15 year old kid will turn tail and run scared, except I had a gun too. Also have personnal bad blood dating back to the 70's with 'em, so I guess I am really too biased to listen to in that regard. I think the outfitter requirement is horse apples. Make the non-res. hunters sign a waiver that says if I do it myself in a wilderness area and get lost I will pay all expenses to find and retrieve my body, then there is no need for requiring some dude to give you a horse ride and you can do it yourself.

Thanks for all the info to date. I agree with EyeDr about requireing a guide, but thats the rule in Wyoming. I bow hunt in Idaho, and they have not had to retrieve my bones.... yet.

Sledder, are you out there? Was this statement just you being a troll or can you substantiate it?

Regarding this sledder idiot.

Being from Alabama,and having hunted in the Gila myself. This was no ranch hunt and was a close to wilderness as anywhere else in the lower 48.

Very troll like comments......what a loser.

How did you fare in the Gila?

I killed a 5x5 bull about five years ago in unit 16E. According to the GPS,I covered 11 miles on foot that day before I got to the bull that I had seen from the other side of the canyon. Awesome country for wild elk on public land.

That was a long hike!

Actually,the photos in bxroads thread look like a typical western ranch in the foothills. Which is the whole reason for booking such hunts,to avoid the grueling physical demands of a true wilderness hunt,plus still kill an elk.

What was it you claimed bxroads.You over exerted yourself on the last real hunt you were on and went guided this time in the foothills .

So what are you saying:

1 - That I'm lying and did not hunt the Gila

2 - The Gila is not a "wilderness".


Don't tuck your tail and run. Answser the question.
