An outfitter who has done a good job for us for several years offers a hunt on property we've hunted in southwestern Wyoming. You must draw a tag in the annual license lottery with applications due March 15. Before the preference point system started in 2006, about two-thirds of applicants in the special draw received a tag. We're guessing that a preference point would assure you a tag in the special drawing. In 2006 this outfitter accommodated 14 hunters and took 14 bucks. A semi-guided hunt with four hunters per guide is $1,200 for three days (you supply your own tent and meals). A fully outfitted three-day hunt is $2,000 with two hunters per guide or $3,500 with one hunter per guide. The average animal taken in '06 had 14-inch horns, and the biggest trophy was 15 1/2 inches long. The guided hunt is run from a tent camp, but you can stay in a town about 10 to 30 miles away if you prefer. |
