Thorofare wilderness hunt

[cole96]

Hi,

I’ve lurked for a while and finally am going to post. I’ve read a lot on this topic. I’m getting ready to place a deposit to secure a spot with constant quest outfitters. If I want to do first rifle it will be the season of 2029, I could get in 2028 but second rifle.

I understand the rut will be winding down. Is there a compromise of the hunt quality besides bugling and rut action? I’ve read a lot on the general hunt on all threads I could find, but never found much on this specific question. Or should I just wait the extra year. I want to have the best chance at an opportunity.

We hunted 2nd week up in that area last year and had some bugling. We killed a 370” bull and a rag horn. The guys opening week didn’t do to great, it was warm.

Okay, sounds like the hunt was still good. Who did you go with?

Menefee outfitters. We saw multiple bulls over 320”

I'm hunting 1st rifle with constant quest in about 2 weeks. I'll let you know how our hunt goes.

We’re going with Yellowstone in 2029. Had the option of first or second rifle. I was planning to book first week but Brandon said he felt second week could be better because of better chance of good weather. Now I’ve been second guessing myself though since.

I was originally going to do the 1st, but spoke with a reference today who did the second. Had rutting action and better weather. So that’s what has me debating. How many points will you have in 2029? I’ll be on my 6th in 2028.

If anyone that has gone or is planning on going.

I'm curious what the upfront and all in cost would be. This is one of those bucket list things at some point im thinking.

PM is fine. Thz

Most outfitters want 50% deposit, unless it's many years out. Right now, for a non-resident, I think you can figure around $12k all in.

Just rent some horses and go. It is a general hunt and not in any way worth $12000. The only benefit of a guide is camp/horse chores.

I'll have 8 points by then and everyone else in my group will have 7. 8 of us going together.

I'm assuming he's a non-resident and not able to hunt wilderness on his own.

I had an amazing hunt. Constant Quest is top notch. Great camp, great food and most important it was a great hunt. They have knowledgeable guides and they want to get after it. Tons of bugling bulls.

That’s awesome. I literally mailed my check to them maybe thirty minutes ago. Could I PM you about more of the hunt?

how did your hunt end up?

great hunt although I didnt punch my tag. Ill try today to give a good rundown of the hunt when I get time. Short story is wolves, grizlies, bighorn sheep, lots and lots of elk, long hard hunt but so worth it to be in those awesome mountains. Camp, guides ect top notch and worked hard for us. I want to go back !!!
