HUNTING TRIPS

Our camp on Butte Creek is the base of our rifle elk hunting and we are consistently 85% or better on shots and kills.

With two camps nestled in Wyoming’s pristine wilderness along with a hunting lodge in the valley of Yellowstone’s east entrance, we are able to offer a wide variety of different hunting to a wide variety of different people. Whether you’re looking for a spring black bear, bugling elk, or deer migration hunt, we have a season and location for you! Offering wilderness: black bear, bull elk, cow elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep and wolf hunts as well as lowland (lodge): cow elk, mule deer and antelope.

We are a full service outfit!  We take care of the whole application and licensing process for you, leaving you with more time to actually be preparing for your hunt! We offer opportunities to harvest multiple animals on your trip as well, for example adding a mule deer to your elk hunt.

The Thorofare region is the wildest place in the lower 48 and we are proud to call it home!

HOW TO PREPARE

The success of your hunt is largely dependent on you!!

Start exercising CONSISTENTLY at least six months prior to your hunt; the better shape you’re in, the harder we can hunt.

Be comfortable shooting out to 400 yards with a good rest! This is BIG country and the more tools you give our guides to work with, the better your chances of success.

If you have the opportunity, do some horseback riding before your trip, you’ll be on them every single day once you arrive.

Thanks for the great hunt in 2011. Actually best hunt I’ve ever been on. Knowledgeable guides who work their butts off to get you your elk. Beautiful area to hunt. Can’t wait to get back in 2013.

Thank you for another successful antelope hunt and a wonderful time in Wyoming. It was great to be back at the ranch again. As usual the food, lodging and company made the trip. Your guides are the best, hard working, skilled and fun to hunt with. I hope we can do another hunt soon. My son, Wyatt, really enjoyed his first hunt with the Double R crew.

It’s hard to believe that almost 10 years have gone by since my 2002 hunt with you. I have been hunting elk on and off since 1972, and my Hardpan Camp hunt is still my all time favorite…not just because I was successful, but because EVERYTHING about your outfit and hunting area were just so perfect! My elk with you was 338 although I saw even bigger. I see the big elk that people pay big money to hunt on private property in NM etc. To me, a big elk taken on a wilderness pack in hunt on public ground is still THE utmost trophy, and I am so glad that I found your outfit while I was still young enough to make the trip!!

Thanks for the spectacular hunt, my hunting buddy and employee Bob and I had the best time and are still in awe at the wonders of the nature you call home. I still can't get over the number and size of the elk we saw and took. The grizzlies sure made for some added excitement! Hope to see you all again soon, hopefully next year on a sheep hunt, or the year after, or the next or the next

Your Butte Creek Outfitters is what every outfitter should copy. Your horses were well trained and easy to ride. Your guides are very well trained and friendly also helpful. Your meals are very good and well planned everyday. It was the best hunting trip that I’ve ever been on.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my 2010 Elk Hunt with Butte Creek Out fitters. This being my first outfitted hunt I had no idea what to expect. This hunt exceeded all of my expectations! It was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Your knowledge and your guides knowledge of the area was impressive and added great confidence to the hunt. Looking forward to hunting with you in 2012 & 2014!
