If you're on a tight budget or can't spare the time for a longer hunt, these November - December hunts could be just right for you. You can expect to eat a hearty breakfast each day and to leave camp an hour before daylight, to return to camp in late morning, and to hunt again in late afternoon. We'll return to camp in the dark. We do lots of walking and some days we don't use horses at all, especially the morning of our first day's hunt in order to properly rest the horses. Some days we stay out all day.
Supper is usually late.
If you score early, you may be able to leave early, depending on a number of factors, but you can still go out every day. Your hunt doesn't have to end after an early kill. You'll learn glassing techniques, stalking-skills, game calling, natural history and wildlife habits. Our clients stay at a dude ranch between Cody and Yellowstone Park near our hunting area. We ride into the hunting area, as far as 12 miles one way to reach the elk, then ride out in the dark.
