Tag and Drag Updates - Notes from the field

Notes from the field: Nov. 7th.

The elk hunting has been tough this year as the elk have not moved onto the refuge yet and there have been very few bison on the refuge over the course of the last several weeks. The good news is…there are more than a thousand head of the elk across the river just waiting to continue their migration onto the refuge. We anticipate that Thanksgiving week will be very busy. Bison and Elk hunters have seen several grizzlies along the Snake River bottom, on Shadow Mountain, and the Blackrock area…please exercise caution and be bear aware.

Our guides and clients have been blessed with continued success on bulls plus approximately five more bulls taken in oct/nov that look like they’ll make the book!

The bison season has been a little tougher this year…as the bulls are staying closer to the main herds (in the park) or the bulls have been in tough more remote areas. We’ve had to quarter, bone, and pack out several on horseback this season. The weather this fall has been beautiful and Jackson has very little snow on the ground. We still have a few hunts available in December (after Christmas) and January guided hunts. Don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions or would like the “bison” or “elk” report. Happy Hunting!

Notes from the field-Sept. 1, 2011

We filled several of our guided hunters early, don’t hesitate to book your hunt or contact us regarding the refuge rides referenced below. Call us if you are interested in a guided hunt or if you have any questions on retrieval. There are a few days in September when we have limited manpower available, so please call us if you are hunting in September. We have posted a few of the 2011 photographs of the successful sportsmen and women! The opener was an absolute gorgeous day and many folks were blessed with their harvest (19 total)! Opening day was followed by another pending book bull! We are offering refuge rides for a limited time starting at $99 per person, minimum party of two…please call us for details! Fall is almost upon us…Happy Hunting!”
