Wyoming Elk Region W

[thundermountain]

Wyoming Resident looking for someone with a Wyoming Region W elk tag that might want to go 10-12 miles into the wilderness on horseback for archery or first rifle. This country is heavily populated with Grizzlies. I did this hunt last season solo, without stock, only a few miles in and shot a bull on opening morning. Bit off more than I could chew and rented horses to pack him out. Hadn’t been on a horse but once before, so that was a whole adventure in itself haha. Being in G bear country quartering an elk without someone watching your back is something I’d like to not do again if I can prevent it. I’m looking for someone who wants an adventure and preferably knows their way around stock. I plan on hunting 6-8 days. This is also an area that for a general unit has the potential to produce some real quality bulls. I’m looking for something around the 320” mark unless it comes to the last couple days. If this sounds like something you’re up for send me a pm. Thanks!

I think renting horses when you don't know horses takes more balls than hunting in solo bear country. It least it would for me. Certainly can't say you are afraid to tackle the unknown.

Do you shoot first or does the other guy?? Why not rent llamas from Beau Baty in Idaho Falls?

Probably more ignorance than balls lol. but you’re probably right

I kinda planned on hunting separate ways in the morning and radioing one another if a bull fell. In the event we were hunting together, I like working bulls as much as I like pulling the trigger… I’m not greedy

I’ve looked into llamas but you can cover a lot more ground hunting horseback rather than hiking. That’s really the only thing pushing me away.
