Wyoming Thorofare Elk Questions

You should go hunt 51 instead.

I'm a rifle guy, it looks like 51 is a ~12-13 point area?

If it was me, I would call the other outfitters

I should do this.

I would hate to wait a couple more years building points that are unneeded unless you wanna share your points with me in a couple years.

Might as well share we'll have plenty

Tri x called me back in response to my posts on this thread stating that I was scheduled for 2027 and I was not "bumped".

I am not sure where the misunderstanding or mistake happened but I would have never booked with them in the first place had I known the wait would be that long.

Hhmmm
Have you looked back into your original hunt contract to verify what they are telling you about your scheduled dates?

I have no documentation the, the verbal agreement was over the phone. I booked with them 2021, at that time it was a 4 year wait and was put on the list to be moved up if possible.

Its "water under the bridge" now.

Verbal agreement means absolutely nothing. Always get something in writing.

You are right, but it’s also awkward to demand an outfitter to put something in writing…unless cash is changing hands.

So there was no deposit made for your booked hunt?
That might explain a lot

Yep I know when I locked in my spot with constant quest for 2029 I signed a contract along with a small deposit to reserve my spot assuming I get a tag

Im in with Yellowstone for the archery hunt starting Monday. My first and likely last outfitted hunt of this type.

Really looking forward to this one. I’m five elk seasons, a dozen bulls in bow range, 4 missed shots(the same bull), and one 5x5 bull on the meat pole. All OTC public land. But I feel like some time spent with professionals will help me connect the very scattered dots I’ve rounded up the last several years.


Any advice for a lone wolf type public land going on one of these hunts?

Sent you PM about how hunt was, planning on booking with them for bow

What is Yellowstone Outfitters rates now?

I paid $12,500 for 2nd week of rifle. I am hunting their Thunder camp, not the original camp.

 

[Elkoholic87]

Prices are getting out of hand. When I went with them in ‘23, it was $7,500. Don’t get me wrong, it was an awesome trip and my dad came along for the adventure, which was special, but I think I’d rather use my hunting money elsewhere.

Just looked at the agreement and it was actually $7K. Insane how prices have changed in such a short amount of time.

YO was selling hunts 5+ years ago at $6500 for 2025 and 2026 and then increased prices 30-100% right before the draw.

It’s gotta be hard to price it so far out with as much as stuff constantly raises in price now
