Wyoming Super Tag

[bayou0509]

Agreed Jimss, kind of why I am wanting to build a rapport with the local biologist, incase they see some tremendous die off I can adjust as needed. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks all for the input and advice so far. I have been in touch with a handful of outfitters and am waiting a call back from the biologist for 128

I know those guys are busy this time of year. Nice part about that 128 area is that the winter range has been *mostly* normal. Just was ice fishing near there and snow was much more reasonable depth with no snow on south slopes.

I say that as we are getting hit by another doozy of a storm, but I stand by it. I think that's going to be an area that doesn't see as much winter kill, if any abnormal amount at all.

Thanks Jaden. I got some mediocre feedback about a few of the outfitters I have spoken to in the Dubois area so I am still filtering through pros/cons of them all now.

I will likely drive up a few days prior to the guided hunt beginning, just to get as many days of DIY experience as possible. Any input on the hotels/airbnb etc available in or around the Dubois area? Looks to be slim pickings from what I see online

Hello all, I am relatively new to posting here. I have been lurking in the background for a few years. I happen to be the lucky winner of the deer super tag for Wyoming this year. Not realistic for me to try DIY this year so I am in the process of selecting an outfitter. I would like opinions, references, past experiences etc from anyone willing to provide some assistance. I am open to archery or rifle but leaning toward rifle just to increase my odds. Not really into farm deer, definitely free range only. I have spoken to a few outfitters in the Alpine area as well as the biologist for region G. Preliminary research continues to point me towards G or H but I am open to anything you all have to bring forward. Not looking for specific unit numbers or any secrets, mainly just reputable outfitters for a trophy during early season. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

G and H deer gonna be few and far between this fall. Winter kill is going to be bad in western Wyoming as a whole.

Congratulations on drawing the tag and 128 seems like a solid option!
I got lucky and drew the Elk Super Tag , lots of homework to do and decisions to make in the coming months … Best of luck on your hunt!

Thank you , I appreciate it. Same to you ! I am hoping the winter there this year isn’t completely devastating to herds ..

I've been in conversation with several outfitters and seems they have a mixed bag of feelings about it, depending on where they are located but they all definitely have some level on concern.

Makes sense ,I’ve also had a few conversations with locals and outfitters this last week and same thing. On the flip side , with all the snow and moisture it will be an unreal geeen spring and early summer which should promote an awesome horn growth year .

Thanks TX. Definitely got a lot of hype built up around the trip. I'm certainly more eager for the 4-5 days I will have of DIY than the week with outfitter and hopeful thoughts of a trophy.

Congrats on drawing these amazing tags guys!

Why pay for a outfitter if you have your choice to hunt any place in Wy?????

 

[bayou0509]

There's still some restrictions such as limited quota units etc. I also have a very difficult schedule to navigate that leaves me with a small window.

Thanks jhemp

Congrats !!

That’s awesome!

So on the super rage hunts are they all DIY or is an outfitter used or at least available?
