Big Game Hunting

The fastest land mammal in North America, Pronghorn Antelope make for some of the most challenging and exciting hunting pursuits in Wyoming. Using a spot and stalk approach, hunters begin with extensive glassing from a vantage point until a buck of choice is located.

Also known as “speed goats”, these antelope have excellent eyesight and are typically found on flat terrain. The tricky part is finding variances in topography that offer a way to slip in close enough for a shot. The typical shot distance may be upwards of 250 yards, so long distance practice is a must. All bucks pursued will be of a mature age, with horn size upwards of 12 inches tall. Antelope make for a beautiful trophy as well as great table fare.

Mountain lion hunting is a quota season, beginning September 1 and running to March 31. Wyoming mountain lion hunting trips are normally in the snow, a landscape providing the best tracking conditions.

You’ll use a pack of hounds raised and trained by a legendary local hound’s man to pursue your big cat. In the early morning, your guided crew will drive the roads in either a pickup or snow vehicle to find the tracks of a mature tom. The hounds will be released, and the chase will begin. This hunt can be short with not much physical endurance required, or can be a long grueling day trailing the dogs and lion. This hunt is either undertaken on foot or from horseback, depending on the conditions, location, and your desires.
