Description

A great opportunity for a Wyoming license holder with some great big bulls! This is a 1:1 fully guided 7 day hunt. This hunt supports 5 hunting days (1 day ride in and one day ride out from camp). Hunter will ride and use the horses each morning to gain elevation and glass for game. The country is open, sage brush country. Because of the open country, long shots are not uncommon. Hunter will fly to Cody, Wyoming where the outfitter will pick up hunters. Hunters will stay in a wall tent for the hunt and all meals are served. This outfitter is the only outfitter in the valley and has tremendous success on big bulls. Max points are needed to draw for this hunt (appx. 12-13+ points).
