Pronghorn Antelope Hunts
All antelope hunts are a spectacular three (3) day hunt in the high plains desert south of the Hoback Canyon region. You will either stay in a cozy private room at our ranch or in a local hotel near Jackson Hole Wyoming. We typically will begin your adventure with a hearty warm breakfast before daylight, then travel to the hunt area in our late model crew-cab pickup trucks. We arrive in the hunt areas near sunrise and the fun begins. All hunts are fair chase conducted on public lands in which we are permitted to operate guiding and outfitting services on. Each antelope area that we are authorized to hunt in contains thousands of acres of land and contains large numbers of Pronghorn antelope. We use the spot and stalk method of hunting big bucks by finding them with powerful spotting scopes then formulating a game plan for a stalk. Most shots will be 150 yards plus and each hunter should arrive having practiced for long distance shots. Any .24-.30 caliber rifle will suffice. In a typical day we may look over several dozen bucks looking for a buck worthy of harvest. You will be served a brown bag style lunch during the day while hunting and a hot meal in the evening at our ranch or a local restaurant. All of our guides are fun to hunt with and are very knowledgeable of the hunt areas. Our guides will field-dress; cape and care for your animal after harvest and deliver you're animal to a local meat processor and taxidermist. However you must make arrangements with each business for deposits they may require and shipping. Our website has information about local taxidermists and meat processors that you can make pre-hunting arrangements with. If you are interested in hunting antelope with archery equipment we typically will hunt from ground blinds over watering holes. This is a very exciting method of hunting antelope and allows you to begin hunting in mid-August. However, once the rifle season begins approximately September 10th, we then recommend hunting with firearms, as the antelope become very weary. HOW TO APPLY FOR A LICENSE IN THE We are licensed to guide and outfit in the following areas:
You MUST apply on your Wyoming Game and Fish Department application for one of the above hunt areas/type before we can provide outfitting services to you. Applications can be found on the WY Game and Fish Department website. There is a link to this website on our site and can be found in the "non-resident" section of the site. We are also happy to mail you the application and we will fill out the hunt areas and type for you. All antelope licenses in Wyoming are limited quota tags, meaning that only a pre-set number of tags are available for each hunt area. Before you can hunt, you must successfully draw a license in the WY Game and Fish Department drawing. You MUST apply for an antelope tag between January 1st and March 15th in order to be placed in the drawing. You need to apply for the "SPECIAL" license, which costs slightly more than a "REGULAR" license, but increases your odds of drawing a license. A "SPECIAL" antelope license is $468 as of 2007.

Hunt includes all lodging, meals, transportation to and from the Jackson Hole Wyoming International airport, as well as delivery of your meat to a processor and delivery of your cape and horns to a taxidermist. It DOES NOT include the cost of processing your meat or the cost of your taxidermy work. This is a very exciting adventure and we will work hard to make your trip a memory to last a life time!
