MOUNTAIN LION
7 DAY HUNT 1x1 $7,500
Mountain Lion hunting is one of our passions. We enjoy training our own hounds that we have raised and spent endless hours working with. The pursuit of these big cats can last for minutes, hours or days, depending on what kind of track the hounds have to work with. Tracked UTVs are used for transportation to look for tracks and haul hounds and gear when snow conditions get too bad for pickups to get around in. Good mature tom mountain lions are our main target for harvesting, leaving females to produce offspring. This is a 7-day hunt that we start mid-November and run through March 31st. Licenses can be purchased over the counter when you arrive.

BOBCAT
5 DAY HUNT
1x1 $5,000 2x1 $4,500
Bobcats make a great combo hunt with mountain lions, or are a great trophy by themselves. We basically hunt them the same way we hunt lions. We offer this as a 5-day hunt from November 15th to the end of February. The license has to be applied for at the Wyoming Game & Fish Department in Cheyenne. There are restrictions for some states obtaining a license, so please give us a call and ask us about it.

BIGHORN SHEEP
10 DAY HUNT 1x1 $13,000
Bighorn Sheep hunting is another one of our passions. It is a physically- demanding hunt that is basically a once in a lifetime hunt for a hunter to harvest a ram in Wyoming. Our ten-day hunt starts by packing a camp in with horses and mules. From there, we are mainly hunting by foot and using backpacks to transport gear to other camp destinations. Our main technique of hunting is using vantage points to glass the area, catching rams moving and feeding. Being in the best physical shape you can be will inicrease your odds of taking a trophy ram. We have been consistent in taking 160 plus class rams throughout the years. We hunt Area 8, which opens September 1st and Area 10, which opens August 15th.

BLACK BEAR
6 DAY HUNT 1x1 $4,000
Our 6-day black bear hunt is offered during the spring. This is over active baits that we have placed in remote areas. We try to get into more remote areas so we can get away from other bait activity. We primarily hunt baits late afternoon through late evening. The mornings and early afternoon are spent either replenishing baits with guides or relaxing doing whatever you would like. This hunt makes a great archery experience, as well as rifle or handgun. We are consistent in taking mature boars with good color phases; browns, cinnamons and an occasional blonde bear. Spring bear hunts take place from the 1st of May to the 15th of June. Bear hunts in the fall are combo hunts with Elk or Deer.

SHIRAS MOOSE
7 DAY HUNT 1X1 7,000
Our 7-day Shiras Moose hunt in area 5 will be a horseback hunt out of one of our base camps or from the lodge. Rifle season opens October 1st thru October 31st. Archery season opens September 1st. This is real good moose country with rougher terrain and a chance at a real good bull. Moose Area 4 will be based staying at the lodge hunting Forest and BLM lands adjoining. On average we are harvesting good mature bulls.

ELK
7 DAY BULL ELK
1x1 $7,300 2x1 $6,800
3 DAY COW ELK OUT OF LODGE
1x1 $2,500 2x1 $2,000
3 DAY COW ELK OUT OF CAMP
1x1 $3,000 2x1 $2,500
Mule Shoe Outfitters has two base camps to offer clients for our 7 day Elk hunts in area 96. We have been typically harvesting bulls in the 280 to 340 inch range with an occasional bigger bull. Base camps consist of wall tents with cots and propane heaters to provide as much comfort as possible. We limit our camps to 4 hunters for the week to assure a more quality hunt. They start the 1st of October for rifle season and run thru the 31st of October, and September for archery season. This is a great area with lots of elk and good potential of killing a good mature bull. Our General elk license season opens October 15th. Archery hunters have ample shot opportunity at bulls during the September archery season. The rut is in full force and the bulls are hot, making calling more productive.

MULE DEER
5 DAY HUNT
1x1 $5,000 2x1 $4,500
We have a 5-day wilderness Mule Deer hunt in region H. This is a horseback hunt where you will be staying at one of our two base camps glassing for mature bucks. We have a lot of open country where bachelor groups of bucks hang out. Glassing is a big part of this hunt, so bring lots of patience and a good pair of binoculars. September 15th is opening day. We also offer 5-day Mule Deer hunts in areas 141/162 during October.

ANTELOPE
3 DAY HUNT
1X1 $2,300 2X1 $1,800
Our antelope hunts are done mainly on private ground with large tracts of BLM surrounding them. We offer 3-day antelope hunts with all accommodations at the Lodge. We have great archery opportunities, as well as rifle, to harvest a good mature 14" plus buck. Antelope makes a great combo hunt with our late-season deer or with our elk hunts. We start hunting antelope September 10th through the end of October.
