Hello Rokslide!

I’ve posted some comments here and there as I’ve browsed through this forum over the last couple of years. I’ll call myself an FNG from southern Utah County (originally Eastern Washington) , I’m in nursing school with a wife and baby boy!

To move on to the title at hand, I’ve drawn a Henry Mountain Bison Late Cow tag with 5 points. A once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to capitalize on it.

I will probably have a week long window to hunt considering my schooling and work obligations. and am considering hiring a guide as I have never set foot in the Henries.

I have a 7 rem mag, load suggestions? I was thinking 150 Barnes ttsx or 139 LRX? Not opposed to partitions or Swift A-Frames. My dad can do some reloading but I may have to purchase factory ammo.

Guide recommendations,
fitness recommendations,
bullet/load recommendations.
What distance should I expect to have shots at?

I’m all ears!

I’m very humbled to have this opportunity so young (29) and to share it with my family, friends and especially my dad.

I know there are so many posts about drawn tags with no follow-up. I’ll do a big write up with updates about this adventure as they occur.

Thanks in advanced!

Jake
 
Hunt begins December 27th through January 13th. I would anticipate poor road access and needing snowmobiles or SxS.
That's a very good anticipation. I had that tag the first year it was created in 2012, and when I priced out renting the machines or horses I was able to hire a guide for about the same price as either renting snowmobiles or horses. And the guide came with horses, snowmobiles, and 4 wheelers if needed. I used Brett Guymon and he was fantastic! Brett now has his own outfitting company Apex Outfitters. Taylor Albrecht is another excellent choice for Henry's bison.
 
I have selected PSC outfitting to guide me on this hunt. Looking forward to preparing this year and getting after it right after Christmas!
