Elk

The Bridger Wilderness Area continues to produce some of the best Trophies and the highest Bull:Cow ratios in the state. We hunt nearly exclusively in the Bridger Wilderness and I can offer the advantage of two Deluxe Base Camps, high Wilderness spike camps or Day Use Hunting from the town of Pinedale. Our Base Camps are among the most deluxe and comfortable camps that you will experience.

Our Blacks Lake Base Camp is located on the shores of Blacks Lake and 100 feet from the Wilderness line. This location is ideal for our later hunting dates but can also be utilizing during our early season dates as well. The ride into the Blacks Lake Hunting Camp is only about 2 horse hours. This is a very deluxe Base Camp with individual wall tents, large cook tent and heated outhouse tent. Our other camp located at Horseshoe Lake is as deluxe a Wilderness Base Camp as you will find. The ride into the Horseshoe Camps take about 3 1/2 hours and presents an ideal location for hunting those early season high Wilderness Bulls and Bucks! We are currently the only Outfitter in Hunt area 97 that can offer Day Use Hunting as well as Base Camp Hunting.

Hunt Area 97 produced 100% license drawing success odds in 2010 for our clientele. This high drawing percentage can be attributed to the fact that I am the only Base Camp Outfitter in the area and that nearly 90% of the Elk hunting country is located in the high elevation Bridger Wilderness Area. If you have been looking for that true Wilderness, horse back, Elk Hunting experience, the Bridger Wilderness is the place and the Bald Mountain Outfitters are the right people! We can boast over 40 years of experience in Hunt area 97. I do still have a very few openings for the 2010 season and we will again have left over licenses in July. I am actively booking our 2011 and 2012 Hunt Dates and hope that you will consider joining us. The archery season generally runs from Sept. 1-19 while the rifle Bull season runs from Sept. 20-Oct. 31 and the Cow Only season runs from Nov. 1-15.
