I'm looking for a good antelope outfitter somewhere out west doesn't really matter where. I know that some of you have been on Antelope hunts. If any of you can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Check out Table Mountain Outfitters. They're one of the biggest in Wyoming and usually go near 100% on archery antelope, most of which meet P&Y standards. Todd and I will be out hunting with them this August. Hoping to smoke two goats on film while we're there. www.huntingwyoming.com
This recently publsihed story about my antelope hunt will give you a bit of behind-the-scenes insight into my experience with the outfitter we went with... I simply couldn't have been happier with our trip. http://www.bowtecharchery.com/newsletter/article_antelopehunt.php
I'll second the recomendation of Miller Outfitting. They know how to put guys on goats. We were all tagged out on the first day of our hunt with nice goats, so the took us all over to see Devil's Tower National Monument and we drove through some beautiful country on the drive back. First class outfit. Here is my story. http://www.bowhunting.com/blog/post/My-Antelope-Hunting-Adventure-In-Wyoming.aspx
Golly, John... I almost forgot about that! Yep, that was a VERY cool thing they did for us... .loading us all up and taking us on that scenic trip to Devil's Tower and letting us hike up that. And then taking us to eat at that neat old historic town on top of that... Not to mention we had a HUGE flat-screen t.v. back in camp as well as a pool table. They also had a walk-in cooler to hang our goats and all the accomodations to take care of them, including a vaccuum sealer on hand. I honestly don't see how you could expect or get any more out of an outfitter.
It wasn't draw, but we sent Doug the money ahead of time and he bought all our tags for us. Only thing we had to buy was some sort of archery tag there in town (literally like five minutes away) when we got there. Just went back and re-read your blog again, John. Great writeup! You keep mentioning things I'd forgot already.... like them printing out the 8x10 glossys to give each of us, as well as making the CD of all the pictures of everyone from the week to give us to take home. Way above and beyond!
I've heard a ton of good things about Table Mountain, where JZ is going. From the experience the boys had at Miller Outfitting last year, I don't think you could go wrong with either place. Good luck.
I don't have a story printed but I can't say enough good about Miller Outfitting where John, Greg, Frank / PA and I went. Everything about the trip was top notch from accommodations, friendships, outfitter/guide personalities etc... I will return.
A great decoy hunt is Graham Brigden in Alberta, I beleive he is 100% on P&Y bucks over the last five years.
Hey, You guys are welcome ;P.....and you were so sceptical when Matt and I planned this trip three years ago.......lol.....no look....BTW, Greg it IS a draw. There was just an abundance of tags. I am glad you guys had a Great time. I knew you guys would love it. That was my third trip with Doug and he never disappoints. it was a great trip with you, rob, John, Bill, Kevin, and Cj.
