The thorofare

[Zebadiahetter]

Hey all, I'll preface this by saying I haven't done much packing with stock (a few trips here and there). My brother on the other hand is very knowledgeable. Owns 5 horses.

We are planning a trip into the thorofare, chasing elk. I'm a resident of Wyoming and he is coming up on 4 points. Both very experienced elk hunters.

It will just be the two of us. Im trying to glean as much experience as I can, about pretty much everything. We are both new to packing into grizz country. Any advice on how you like to picket horses in the bear woods (pickets, fence, hobbles ect...)? Trying to access from the Dubois side, is there a preferred route? Are we going to be covered in outfitters or can we stay mobile enough?

Appreciate all the the thoughts and advice!

following this feed - i am not a resident - should be drawing this year for rifle - plan on hunting with an outfitter - they haven't shared any pins of camp locations or anything. Not sure how many outfitters work in there - according to the outfit i am planning on going with they dont run into other guides and claim to rarely see anyone. I was told our ride into camp is approx 20 miles and we come from the east side.

That’s a big trip. A little problem can turn into a big one or deadly pretty easy when you’re that far in. That said if you’re comfortable with it, go for it! There’s more people than you’d think. I picket, electric fence and hobble. Whatever you do get it dialed in before you leave. A book could be wrote on the subject.
