Greetings from Everyone at Trails West Outfitters...
The 2011 Outfitting
and Hunting season is over and it was a GREAT year! Once again
we would like to thank everyone for the e-mails, and other inquires
and it was good to visit with everyone this past year.
Over the past years,
our elk camps have enjoyed a 75%-90% success rate, with a 100%
opportunity. This year was no exception; we sent 25 of 27 elk
hunters home with nice bulls. We also filled our six sheep hunters
with great rams. With a late spring due to heavy mountain snow and
high water levels, we started the season on a dead run, but found
wonderful forage for the wildlife and new river structures for great
fishing. Our sightseeing groups enjoyed the opportunity to view the
high country vistas of the Greybull River and some spectacular
wildlife settings in the early mornings and evenings. We are
starting our 2012 bookings and expect a great summer and fall with
many return clients coming back to the Greybull River.
The time to apply
for a Wyoming Elk License is near. The 2012 application period for a
Wyoming Elk License is January 1 through January 31, 2012. The
results of the draw will be available February 28, 2012. If you
wish to book a hunt this year, once again we will fill out the
license application for you and deliver the applications to Wyoming
Game and Fish in Cheyenne on January 31, 2012. A Booking Agreement
is available for your convenience on the web site, or we can send
one to you. The Booking Agreement is all that we need to complete
your license application.
As you know, the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department has a preference point system for
non-resident elk hunters. Please note your options for
application….
You can make an
application (January 1 through January 31) for a 2012 Elk license
and not purchase a preference point. (Not Recommended) You can
apply (January 1 through January 31) for an Elk license for 2012,
and purchase a preference point where if you are not successful in
the draw for an Elk License, you will receive a preference point for
the future. Or, you can purchase a preference point and not apply
for a 2012 license. PLEASE NOTE: Purchasing a Preference Point
only, has to be done July 1 through September 30, 2012. If you
don’t plan to hunt in 2012, but plan to hunt in the future, this is
an important option to build preference points. We cannot over
emphasize the importance of acquiring preference points if you plan
on hunting in Wyoming in the future.
We plan to once
again offer late season cow elk hunts at an affordable rate. A late
season cow hunt is a great opportunity to put meat in the freezer
and view abundant wintering wildlife. Cow tags can be applied for
from January 1 through January 31, and are usually available over
the counter later in the year.
Please visit our web site at
www.trailswestoutfitters.com, for current 2011 photos and more
information about the camp and services offered. Should you have
any questions, feel free to call for additional information. We
look forward to assisting you with your wilderness adventures in
2012.
Happy Trails from Everyone at Trails West Outfitters……
