Hunting wild bison in Wyoming is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the early 19th century, approximately 60 million bison roamed North America. In 1872 following their near extermination…less than 500 bison survived and Yellowstone National Park was established with a herd of 21 cows and bulls. This area is now home to one of nation’s largest truly free-roaming herds. For a limited time the wildlife managers will be offering special bison hunts to residents and non-residents. Some of these hunts will be conducted on the National Elk Refuge and are used as a management tool to reduce the number of bison and damage to the critical winter elk habitat.

You are about to embark on a phenomenal and memorable
hunting experience. In addition to the wonderful memories of your outdoor adventure in the spectacular scenery of the Teton's, you will also take home a freezer full of healthy organic gourmet bison meat. To recapture the memories of your hunt, consider having your bull shoulder-mounted for your game room, a European mount made of the skull to hang on the barn, and the thick hide tanned for those cold winter nights. We invite you to live the dream, experience the adventure, unwind in Wyoming’s wild country, and marvel at the beauty of God’s creation.

ELK:


Elk hunting in the Jackson area is the finest in the state of Wyoming. Pursue the trophy bulls as they migrate out of Yellowstone National Park through Grand Teton National Park to their winter feed grounds on the National Elk Refuge. The elk areas in the Grand Teton National Park are 75 and 79. The National Elk Refuge also offers special elk hunting opportunities including an “any elk” hunt, a youth hunt, cow hunts, and short-range weapons hunt. Please visit the National Elk Refuge Web site at http://www.fws.gov/nationalelkrefuge/. Enjoy the camaraderie, autumn and winter western ambiance, and wild wonder of the Teton's and Jackson Hole.

References/ Hunting Testimony

We all had the experience of our lives on Ron's hunt. In fact it was such an honor and a blessing to have experienced this, that I have now put in for the draw, also. It only took the one time to catch the fever of large game hunting. So, we hope to be in touch with you when (if) my name gets drawn.

Thank you for your friendship, professionalism, and genuine interest in guiding us on the hunt. The scenery and wildlife, alone were well worth the trip, not to mention the thrill of the harvest. We thoroughly enjoyed Johnnie's and  Dale's expertise and felt privileged to have been guided by them. We, with the help of Kevin and Bill (friends that participated in the hunt), cut up and processed our own meat then shared it with a host of friends and neighbors. We started on a Saturday morning at 9:00 and finally finished sometime after midnight. We enjoyed the fellowship so much, the hours passed all to quickly, but we were certainly ready to fall into bed when it was all finished, split up among us, and the cleanup was completed.

Thank you, again, Blessings to you and all your crew.

Gary Young harvested a bison bull in with a Boone and Crockett score of 127.7. He writes of his experience with Tag and Drag “He is not only a consummate professional and knowledgeable of the hunting area, but is truly 'magic' with the ability to drag, field dress, use various winches, pulleys and other machinery to deliver the game animal to the butcher on time. All this without damage or waste. I would highly recommend Johnnie Filbeck's "You Tag'em, We'll Drag'em" service, particularly if your hunting elk, bison, or any other game animal in Western Wyoming...Now, if the Good Lord has blessed you with the ability, health, talent and wherewithal to hunt His wild creatures, then consider to stop for a moment and give thanks for your blessings. I am very grateful for the opportunity that I had to pursue my dream of harvesting a record Boone and Crockett bull and making new friends in Wyoming". Look for Gary’s article in an upcoming issue of Garth Carters Hunting Magazine.

Tag and Drag assisted with many other trophies including well over a dozen additional bison bulls that that made the book in the 2007-2010 seasons.
