Wyoming combo Muley / Antelope hunt recommendations

[Omotose]

I’m looking for recommendations for a ranch or outfitter that offers a decent mule deer and antelope combo hunt for 2026. I currently have 4 preference points for each animal. I know the vast majority of you are wilderness/ backpack hunters. Well,I’m just not there anymore, at 71 with a bone on bone knee and a kidney transplant last year, but I can still get around decently, just slower. So I’m in the process of seeing what kind of hunt I can put together and I thought folks on here may have some recommendations on who to talk to and who to avoid. Thank you.

Check out Badger Creek Outfitters we had a good hunt with them a few years ago.

Same age as you. In 2021 I hunted mulies with Craig Oceanac of Timberline Outfitters in the Shirley Mtns of Wy. 2 pts needed for mulies, 5 for pronghorn, 12 for elk. Very nice camp, most travel via SxS. I got a 4x4, others got deer but not as nice (lucky me). Don't expect a big mulie but a good camp and good guides. One guy had a pronghorn tag and got a decent one in a single afternoon of hunting. Remote camp but accessible via truck. They also offer ranch hunts for mulies.

Thank you I’ll be checking them out.

Triple 3 Outfitters out of Buffalo. Private land hunting. Timberline Outfitters hunts public land. Big difference so take your pick. At your age and with how difficult it is becoming to get licenses, I would choose the private land hunt. Phil Rutt is the owner. Great guy and VERY good hunting for antelope, deer and elk. Waiting list for elk hunts.

I agree with Indian Summer about choosing an outfitter with "managed" private land. Now if he's killing everything that moves, it will be no better than public.
I'm experiencing this in Wyoming concerning elk. I have a contact in the East region that may have a private land opportunity but I'm hesitant to burn my points and then it not work out.
I found what I think is a great private land hunt in the West region and can likely draw this year, but it's pricey.
Think I'm going that way and hopefully get a nice bull under my belt, then due the East region thing with lesser points and less pressure to kill something.

Timberline was offering both private and public hunts when I booked. The hunt I was on in the Shirley Mtns was all public.
