Wyoming Outfitter recommendation for archery waterhole Pronghorn.

I've decided to pull the trigger on a Pronghorn hunt.
Unfortunately do to life's happenings I wasn't able to make it happen a few years ago.

My plan is to hunt in 2028, from what I am reading. Because I don't have a clue about how to hunt Pronghorn. August is a very good time to archery hunt water holes. By archery for me, I will be using a crossbow at around 350 fps. I have bilateral rotator cuff injuries from my 30 plus years working on an ambulance. I hunted for many years with a compound.


So, my thinking is. If I hunt 2028, I can buy a preference point this year and one in 2027. That will give me 2 points for the draw. If my thinking is right.

Can anyone recommend a reliable outfitter or outfitters given the above information.

I don't want to waste my time and money on an outfitter who doesn't deliver. I know there is no guarantees with anything in life. But, I want to go with an outfitter who can give as close of a guarantee as possible if I do my part of being still and making a good shot.

I think given my situation with health and such. Paying a good outfitter who has done the leg work is worth it to me.
Being as I am from WV, don't know the land in WY. Given my distance scouting isn't really feasible or practical.

So I am going to use an outfitter.


Thank you for your time and I would appreciate any information on a reputable outfitter.

I think the biggest issue you will have is what tag you can draw. The outfitter may be able to party apply you with someone if you don't have points.

The game has changed a lot with pronghorn in Wyoming, mainly low numbers and high demand. Units that 10 years ago you could draw with very few, if any points, now take 3-5+ points.
 
The year before the Hunting GPS maps (now Onxhunt) came out I drew a unit that took 7+ points last year, as a third choice non resident. Now you don’t need to be able to read a map or use a compass. The average garden variety nimrod can stay pretty close to public land just by looking at his phone.
